Great stay for a great price! Would stay here again! Staff was super kind. It was clean and comfortable. Only negative is the breakfast room is very small and when busy you can't even move in there. We left our first morning to get breakfast elsewhere.

We were very happy with our stay at the Bearskin Lodge. A nice clean, spacious room with a balcony. No rowdy crowds. The staff was great too. And the location was ideal. At the end of the main drag, but walking distance to everything.
