Amazing food & cute little bar. It’s quite isolated, but that’s New Hampshire. We will stay again when visiting our daughter. I’d recommend it.

The inn was absolutely amazing. All of the staff were super friendly and the service was outstanding. Location was perfect as it is just down the road from Crotched. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for the perfect ski getaway not too far away from Boston. Will most certainly be coming back!!

I was on an out of town trip and happened to find the Blue Bear Inn. I originally chose this place to due to convenience however it did not take long upon arrival that this is a GREAT little place to stay. Lorrie the owner is fabulous, and I plan to return again with my wife to enjoy this place more.

The care given to having a quiet environment while offering an intimate tavern, intimate music a couple of evenings a week, 24 hour self serve snacks & drinks was very appreciated by this guest. The Innkeepers have been successful at providing modern conveniences along with the colonial charm in a BEAUTIFUL outside landscape.

The Blue Bear Inn is a highly remarkable place with nothing but pleasant people/staff: Lorrie is the quintessential Inn Keeper who’s warm & pleasant character will warm your heart. Brian The Bar Keep is a Master of his Craft with a kind, funny and positive disposition. Lindsay steals the show with her inspiration and big beautiful inviting heart & spirit. I can’t wait to return, this time with family and share with them the Blue Bear Experience:)
