Cons
Stayed in room twenty that is on the end next to the highway. Truck traffic was annoying at night and they bumped on the potholes in the highway
This is such a cute and unique place.The king bed was new and awesome.check in was sooo easy. Beautiful lake right across the street.Would love to come back when weather is warmer to use the pool.It looks awesome.So glad someone cares enough to revamp old ,instead of tearing down.Much more spacious than most hotels.We will definitely be returning.
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Motel Bear Lake! You can immediately tell how much love and care the owners have put into the property, and it was at a reasonable rate. We now want to visit the area and stay in the motel in the summer!
