The Black Bear Inn

Staying at the Black Bear Inn is like visiting your favorite aunt's house. Your room is cozy, it's by the river, Liz leaves cookies and chocolates for a before bed snack, she welcomes pets in her pet friendly rooms, and you'll feel hugged just because you stayed there. It's clean and nostalgic with rockers by the front door. You can walk to nearby eateries and relish small town life. It is our go to lodging in Dubois.

We LOVE Black Bear Inn. The small touches they add from the s'mores to the little bear soaps are a highlight for my kids. The location is great to get to the national parks. Everyone is so kind and wonderful! We LOVE this place!!

Liz is absolutely wonderful and so kind and accommodating! Our plans to stay at Black Bear Inn I feel, would have been a great experience but unfortunately,never worked out. Liz got us two rooms and tried to move people around so I could stay in a non pet room because of allergies. She is super kind and I felt bad it didn't work to stay but I hope when I'm in the area, it works to stay at Black Bear. Hope you will give it a try and call Liz as she will go out of her way to help you.

Very comfy and homey. Room smelled clean and fresh. Liz is exceptional. S’mores every evening at the campfire by the river was fun. Just sitting and relaxing watching the river flow was so nice in the evenings.

This place is great! We absolutely loved the personal touch the owners have put on this place. Everything from the cute bear shaped soap, to the candy bars, to the s’mores around the fire, This mom and pop motel is everybody you need to feel comfortable. The beds are comfy, the room is clean, you have have everything you need. Yes, the building is old, but they have done their best to keep it updated. Highly recommend.
