Too many stairs for mobility challenged. Toilet old-fashioned low basin. Needs at minimum comfort height. Ice cream chairs not built for adults or for any seating comfort.

Beautiful rustic setting, Pioneer Day nostalgia
Jim is an awesome host. Very congenial. The Jacuzzi bathtub was the best I’ve ever used. Did not love the steep stairs to get up to flights to our room nor all of the ladybugs on the ceiling though I understand what happened. We were in the middle of a forest and they were brought in to feast on an infestation of other creatures. Breakfast was good and enjoyed the company of the Mother and daughter from Chicago and South Bend. Wi-Fi was spotty and often weak so I could not get done when I needed to.

Small but Great Place to Land!
James & Jill were super host. Checked us in and showed us around the place. We had full rein of the property, if we wished. The toast at breakfast was excellent along with the cook to order meal. We were quite surprised at how nice the place is and loved it's history

Great property, convenient location for activities in Brown County, friendly host, and excellent breakfast. 4 stars instead of 5 because the walls are a little thin, which makes you vulnerable to noise from other guests.

Excellent place to stay!
Everything was excellent except for the bed. The bed was really soft and I felt like I sank into it making it hard to move once laying on it. Otherwise they are fantastic. Jim and Jill cook breakfast for everyone and cook your eggs to your liking. Scrambled eggs are EGGcelent! Peaceful sanctuary by the pond is great too. Loved the property and the inn. My first Bed and Breakfast experience and the only negative was the bed but I still slept.

Our stay at the Lil Black Bear Inn was cozy, charming and exceptional. The Petunia room was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. We had a balcony to enjoy! The breakfast was delicious, generous, and creative. We especially enjoyed the scrambled eggs 😊 The host was friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would recommend the Lil Black Bear Inn.
