Love this place!

This is my third year staying here and I love this property! First time in the rainbow room and it’s so cute and spacious. Dublin general store is minutes away and beautiful beaches are only 20ish minutes away. Can’t beat location and the price.

Black Bear Inn Stay

Check in seamless, Communication, Property, Room supplies, cleanliness, all above expectations. Room had everything we needed to have an “at home” feel. Every time I thought of something I needed but didn’t have I found it already there. Would definitely stay here again.

EXCELLENT!! Super easy reservation scheduling, easy check in with key codes, owner responded very quickly with a few questions that we had on arrival. Most of all the house was SUPER CLEAN and fully stocked with everything! The only issue was the lighting could be brighter...maybe higher wattage bulbs??Thank you Alicia

Fantastic

We enjoyed our stay in the Rainbow Room--plenty of space for our family of 5 to hang out. The kitchen was well-supplied, and the toiletries and snacks were unexpected and welcome! The only reason I rated this property 4 instead of 5 stars was the comfort of the beds. Aside from that we enjoyed our stay!
