• We welcome your children 16 and older. The Black Bear Manor B&B is regarded as a quiet escape and romantic getaway for most of our guests, and we work hard to foster that environment. Therefore, it is not an appropriate place for children under 16.
• We regret that we are not able to accommodate pets.
