Stayed 2 nights at Great Bear and it was a great visit. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, the room was very large with a great view. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and not only did they server up some great food, they included champagne and a cake, it was wonderful!! I highly recommend adding the meal, Ryan and... More

I found the lodge on the internet, and booked it for five nights. We were welcomed at the door, and helped with all the luggage. Since we drove from southern calif., we had a lot. We were in one of the Grande rooms, and it was huge-clean-and well decorated. The bed was a tempurpedic, and very comfortable. We spent about... More

My family and I stayed 2 nights three days. It has to be one of the nicest places we have ever stayed! Next time I go to Montana I only hope they have availability, because this is the only place I would want to stay, I haven't stopped telling all of my friends about this Lodge. This Lodge is so...

We stayed at the Great Bear Inn September 2012- so although this review is a few months old-I think it may still help those trying to decide to stay here. We booked a room short notice for two nights. The pictures and description are very appealing. I love rustic/charming lodges like this and for the price it looked much more... More

This type of review is quite frustrating for us. It is clear that this person did not familiarize themselves at all with our website prior to making a reservation. We clearly state on the main page as well as the reservation agreement which must be checked before finalizing the reservation that we have dogs and why we have dogs. This... More

We stayed there from 1st to 3rd May and from the beginning we felt like being at home! Susan, Alyssa, Ryan and Chris are so nice and helpful! They gave us some tips and the Glacier Park is a must- an entrance is just some car driving minutes away! The room was awesome: they decorated it with so much love... More

It's a little out of the way but worth it. Hospitality and the food are fantastic. Ryan is a great chef and Suzanne is very welcoming and a wonderful hostess. We really felt at home here and would've liked to have stayed longer. Beautiful location, very relaxing. We'll definitely stay longer next time.

My wife and I stayed here two night in early April 2013, and had another couple with us the first of the nights. The Inn is off the highway about a mile and somewhat isolated, if a mile can be called isolated (not really). It's a beautiful home built as a B&B and turned into a "dine and recline" a... More

I booked The Great Bear Inn for my husbands 30th Birthday. In one word – “AMAZING”. The staff was beyond wonderful; we felt like we were visiting family. The food is indescribable (a custom cake was made for my husbands birthday - one that he stills talks about!). We had read online that the chef was professionally trained - but... More

This is the first review of any type I've ever made for either product or service. I just don't make reviews. Except this time I feel compelled to share with all what an incredible experience staying at The Great Bear Inn turned out to be. Plush accommodations were only part of the experience. Kudos are also due to the chefs... More
