Cute Inn
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.

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 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!!

Quaint as a Hallmark Movie
This is a great little get away. It’s quiet, peaceful, and serene. The Inn is lovely, warm, and comfortable. It sits surrounded by New Hampshire mountains and the vistas are breath taking. The food is amazing. The owners, Carrie and Bob, are warm and friendly. Brian, the barkeep, is also a lovely individual. There are lots of places to walk and explore. The ski resort is nearby. I will be returning.

Good size room with a private bathroom and a very comfortable bed. Owner was very pleasant and accommodating. She kept our reservation open despite our late arrival. The Blue Bear is a classic New England inn, built in the 1800’s but updated with all the modern conveniences for a very comfortable, relaxing getaway.

What an amazing place! The rooms and inn are charming, clean, and comfortable. The property is beautiful. The restaurant is outstanding with delicious food. But what stood out the most was the staff for both the restaurant and the inn. We checked in at about 7pm and the woman who helped us was personable, funny, warm and welcoming. We really felt like our needs were a priority. Our server was amazing and knowledgeable and the service itself was impeccable. We will be making this trip a yearly tradition. Thank you to everyone at The Blue Bear for an incredible experience!

What a great experience. Without a doubt one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in a hotel. Then again, feels awkward referring to the Blue Bear Inn as hotel. Felt like home. The rooms are beautiful and all distinct. It was quiet, relaxing, the bed was comfy. I can’t wait to go back. Lorrie and Bruno are phenomenal hosts. I rarely remember hotel names but this one I will never forget. And I’ve been encouraging friends to go there. This place is a must.
