熊山旅館(Bear Mountain Inn)

I’ve traveled a lot and have stayed at many a B&B. And hands-down, the Bear Mountain Inn is simply the best I’ve ever experienced. The owners Brian & Julie have cultivated a place that’s so classy, charming & personable, and it possesses an endless array of thoughtful & incredible touches. The most hospitable cook in the world, Terri, tailors breakfasts to your liking (her banana bread is worth the price of admission alone). My goodness. It’s a complete luxe experience but at surprisingly affordable rates. Oh! And the grounds themselves - the sprawling landscape overlooks the vast beauty of Bear Pond itself where kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes await you, which are all included. I’m giving this place 5 Stars only because I can’t give it 6 or 7. Do yourself & your loved ones a huge favor, and STAY AT THIS PLACE. It’s the total package.

We went for a family wedding with our boys ages 4 and 7 and had THE BEST time. Canoeing, stand up paddle boarding, lawn games, board games, card game, even hot tubing on a 90 degree day. Fire pit and s’mores at night. Kids never asked for tablets or TV. Beautiful and relaxing setting. Best part (best is probably not the right word), our 4 yo had a massive nose bleed on his button down shirt 1 hour before the wedding where he was the ring bearer. Julie took the shirt and got it washed and dried with time to spare before the wedding. Incredible service.

My husband (!!!) and I just got married at the Bear Mountain Inn this past weekend and it was literally the most incredible wedding in the world. Nick and Jessica go above and beyond for their couples and Cassie is an incredible day of coordinator that makes you feel like you're at home on your big day. It was pouring rain all day on Saturday and the whole BMI team made our day so special. We decided early on to have our ceremony in the beautiful barn on site and it was literally the most beautiful set up I've ever seen at a wedding. We couldn't get over how beautiful everything looked. It is such an intimate and beautiful memory that is burned in our brains for life. Our wedding was for about 160ish people so we rented a tent to do our reception outside - this couldn't have been an easier process and the tent looked like a fairy tale out on the yard. When I tell you think is the most incredible wedding venue on the face of the Earth we so mean it. Every single moment our wedding was so perfect and it was really was made possible by the team at the Bear Mountain Inn. Nick, Jessica and Cassie + team we LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH and legit cannot wait to come back in the winter to hang out and party with you guys. Thank you SO much for everything you did for us WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! ps - these photos were taken by Ben Wheeler at Ben Wheeler Photography Rooms: Literally the cleanest, most beautiful rooms I've stay at away from home. Every single one of our guests were blown away by the Inn. Nearby activities: Lake life, quaint restaurants and beautiful scenery! Noteworthy details: The property the Bear Mountain Inn sits on is a literal dream. It was foggy and raining on our wedding day and it really looked like something out of a movie like OMG take me back!!!

Our family (2 adults + 2 young adult boys) visited Bear Mountain Inn on our first ever trip to Maine, and the barn suite accommodations were perfect for us! We had a full kitchen for cooking, everyone had their own bedroom and bath, and the view of the lake and the grounds from all the lovely windows was stunning. The bedding, pillows and towels (and extra blankets) were beautiful and soft. Wi-fi worked beautifully. The trail through the woods that follows the lake and stream was beautiful and serene. Bug spray was provided! The owners are lovely, and available to answer any questions or share information. Hannaford's grocery store was 15 minutes away, and had a great selection of produce, bakery items, and other yummy stuff for cooking. With a fresh breakfast provided every morning, we didn't have to leave the grounds unless we wanted to. We loved the small rec room (pool and ping pong) and the outdoor hot tub was a hit, too. We didn't try the outdoor fire pits (or the s'mores kits that were available), but that's on our list for next time! If you're looking for a cozy couple's stay, or if you're going with friends, the rooms in the house are amazing, and there's a little 2-person cottage on the grounds with a cute private sitting area facing the lake, including an electric fire pit. We would definitely go back!

This newly renovated inn has all the charm of a historic inn with all the modern conveniences that we've all become accustomed to... Everyone was willing to go out of their way to make our stay more pleasant! The inn was beautifully decorated, super clean, had a fantastic breakfast, a great pub, and picturesque views! We'll definitely be back! Rod & Colleen, Bayside Resort Hotel, Cape Cod.
