WE live in a wonderful retirement community, but once a month, we like to escape to B & B within 2 to 3 hours drive from Davis, CA. As we love to explore different locals, it is rare for us to stay at a B & B where we have stayed before. This place is well worth a second visit.... More

With B & B experiences there's great and then there's extraordinarily incredible. Irrefutably, the latter is what you have at the Arnold Black Bear Inn. To use a fitting, but yet simple metaphor, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” With that said, the moment we arrived at the exquisite grounds – the stunning, rustic structure...

Wendi and Bruce truly made me feel as if I were a guest in their home. They were warm, friendly, accommodating, and lovely to get to know. The rooms were so comfortable, and super clean (a must for me when I travel). The grounds were serene, well kept, and beautiful. I had never even heard of Arnold before my trip... More

A group of us rented out the inn for a weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. Wendi and Bruce were gracious and their true care for their guests was palpable. They served us the most amazing breakfast - nut-encrusted french toast - keeping in mind some of our party were gluten-free [and made it all vegan most graciously].... More

This was a wonderful weekend trip! My husband and I had the chance to relax in a beautiful location. There is hiking close by (something we love). Amazing wineries are not a far drive (Wendi and Bruce are a great resource for this!). And the food... wow, the food! Our breakfasts were not only amazing, but also beautiful. Easter dinner... More

In anticipation of getting married at Black Bear Inn, my fiancee and I stayed overnight on Saturday March 30th. Having visited the property a couple of times previously, we knew we were in for a treat. We arrived Saturday afternoon and were warmly welcomed by Wendi and Bruce and shown to our beautiful room which just happens to be mere... More

Had a wonderful stay for the weekend! Would highly recommend to anyone. Bruce and Wendy were awesome hosts! Very relaxing stay. The hot tub was a great bonus. Breakfast, wine and cheese were excellent.

My husband and I had a wonderful two night stay at The Black Bear Inn. We have spent so much time in the area and this was the absolute best place we have every stayed. Only planned on one night but couldn't bear to leave so made it two nights. It couldn't have been more perfect-well, maybe if it was... More

Recently enjoyed two nights at the Black Bear Inn, and wished we could have stayed longer. Wendi and Bruce run a definite five star inn, and treat their guests like family, very warm and accomodating. They know the area well, and no matter what activities you may have planned to do while staying in Arnold, they can advise you to... More

Inn was beautiful, clean and perfectly appointed. Room and bed were very comfortable. Location very convenient to skiing and restaurants. Innkeepers very attentive but not smothering. Very nice wine and cheese in the evenings. We will definitely stay here again!
