"We came North for relaxation and found the Bear Lake Motel an excellent location. I also chose it because of its Retro Design. Loved it!!!!"

"It was a surprising fun little spot hidden in the woods so fun wish we had more time to spend there"

"The hotel was clean . It was close to everything. It was very quiet inside and the hotel staff was very helpful . "

"Kevin and Tonya have created a very special motel. Kevin is on the local tourism board and knowledgeable about the area. Both are nice and welcoming. The rooms are clean and don't break the bank. Convenient location. They offer locally-roasted coffee in the morning or a nice selection of tea and have a nice partnership with a local restaurant nearby for breakfast (large portions and delicious). I stayed here on a work trip, but would come back with family. This place reminded me of why family run motels were so popular for a time.. and would be again if they were all run like this. I definitely encourage you to support this great locally-owned business. "

"We had a great stay—lovely walk, convenient location, breakfast and dining available, as well as karaoke at Curley’s. Quiet and comfortable night's sleep—we'll go back!"

"Had so much fun. We’ll definitely be back. "
