I stayed here one night while I was in town for business. I didn't get to experience much beyond my room, as my flight got in late to Seattle.

Bear's Lair was perfect during a visit to family who did not have room for me. First visit to the Seattle area. My first floor room with private bath opened to a covered patio. Comfortable and nicely decorated/maintained. There were other guests and breakfast-timing was a little less flexible than I would have preferred, but there was coffee available early... More

The Bear's Lair is a charming B&B near Gig Harbor. It is like a fairy-tale cottage in the woods, only without the wicked witch and with gourmet breakfasts and a warm and friendly welcome. I went there with two friends for a mini writing retreat, and it was perfect. The shore is within easy walking distance, too. Quiet except for... More

We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay in the Carriage House at Bear's Lair. Jen is a wonderful cook and made us feel right at home. The fact that the buildings were hand crafted by Guilio made our stay even more special. Everything there was made with love and no detail was overlooked. The quality of... More

We wanted to stay at a B & B in Gig Harbor itself, close to the water, with perhaps a view, but our instincts and research kept leading us to Bear's Lair which is located about ten minutes drive from the harbor. Immediately upon arrival we knew we'd made the right choice! A wonderful property built by the owner's in... More
