We chose this lovely, secluded spot in Bolton Valley, 25 minutes from Burlington, for our first visit to VT. The room was spotless, with a comfy king bed, easy chair and desk, along with bears everywhere. Innkeeper Jill and her team are charming and accommodating. There is an inviting lobby with stone fireplace, seating, and shelves with books, board games... More

The rooms were clean, decorated perfect to make you feel like you were in... More

My husband and daughter have recently moved to MA and waned to get a feel for New England which would not be complete without a trip to Vermont. We only had a weekend and wanted to make the most of it. We also wanted to avoid the chain hotels and experience something more authentic to the area. We were beyond... More

I first learned of the Black Bear Inn about ten years ago when I was searching for a romantic spot in Vermont to travel to. I found it through tripadvisor and I was impressed by all of the favorable reviews. Unfortunately the trip never materialized and neither did the relationship I was in at the time. Now ten years later... More

We selected the Black Bear Inn after reading the reviews on Trip advisor, and we were not disappointed, to say the least. Traveling with 2 small children and staying anywhere , besides home is usually more work for us, but not this time. the room we booked (#15) was comfortable with 2 large beds, and the teddy bears in the...

After a couple of bad experiences with soft beds and thin walls in B and B's, my boyfriend had insisted that we only stay in soulless chain hotels. Fortunately there was no chain hotel within easy reach of the ski slopes in Bolton Valley or we would never have discovered this amazing place. It had all the rustic character I... More

Stayed here for 4 nights (long weekend). Heading into it, I was concerned this would be another B&B where I felt like I was intruding in the owner's private house. Not the case here--every staff member was welcoming, but in a "here to make sure you're enjoying yourself" way. Pretty much everything was perfect. The Inn was already booked with... More

This was our first trip to Vermont, and I am so glad that I found the Black Bear Inn to stay at!! The Inn is situated in a wonderful location atop the mountain out of the way yet close enough to travel to the neighboring towns. From the minute we walked inside you got that "cozy" home away from home... More

During our fourth trip to Vermont, we knew from previous trips that the Black Bear Inn was our #1 choice. We arrived late on Monday evening to discover that we had the entire place to enjoy by ourselves to relax. Every morning, we were greeted with fresh hot coffee and a fabulous country breakfast. Fresh fruit, warm muffins, and our... More
