Bear Creek Inn

Bear Creek Inn

8/10 Good
"It's nice and tucked away from the crowded area. Also a nice Thai restaurant across from it. The outside is dated, but inside the room was clean and you can tell had been updated. The beds and blankets were clean and vey comfortable. The balcony overlooking the quick running river/creek was very nice and relaxing. I would definitely stay again."
