we had a wonderful time, We will go back there again, The people that own the b&b were awesome people, we felt very welcome, and the food was great. I recommend this place every one who is traveling, if you are a bear collector, they have any bear you want.

Lovely place, lovely innkeepers. We really felt like part of a big family. Owner Laura is a holistic acupuncturist and Scott is an amazing artist. Everything they prepare for breakfast is either organic or natural.

This place reminded me of my auntie's house from childhood, so I mmediately felt at home. The innkeepers are lovely. I really enjoyed the Tower Room (the multi-sided room in front). I didn't notice any street noise and the bed was extremely comfortable. Wonderful breakfast--best pancakes I ever had. This is a great place to visit with a group of... More

We returned to the Hugging Bear Inn after a couple visits over 20 years ago. It is still a wonderful quaint bed & breakfast in a lovely little town. Georgette, the innkeeper for all these years, greeted us with a smile and hug. Little has changed in all these years. They are a family friendly hotel, although we were visiting... More

In my opinion, you can't beat the hospitality, wonderful breakfast, and the fact that the owners are real people! I felt instantly, that I could make myself at home....and I did! Georgette and her family make you part of their family within moments of your arrival. Already booked for next year!! I can't wait. Wonderful people make the world a... More

Georgette will always help you find what you need...even if it is just a chat late in the evening! She will always have a... More

We stayed here for one night during the week because of it's very decent price. $110 plus tax for one night. Other B&B's around the area were much more expensive. Also its only about 20 minutes to Stratton Ski resort which is where we were headed the next day. We stayed in the pooh and piglet's room. Nice spacious room... More

My husband and I have been going to the Hugging Bear Inn for approximately 4 years, for a total of about 10 stays. While there are several B&Bs to choose from in the area, we always head back to HBI! Inn-keeper Georgette is delightful and could not be any more hospitable. She really makes sure you enjoy your stay. While... More
