Black Bear Inn

The Inn is beautiful, comfortable and on the water. You could spend mornings watching cruise ships coming close enough to wave to the passengers. Jim and Nicole are locals that enjoy sharing their stories. It was like being with family, in a good way! My room had everything I needed. It was a perfect 3 days.

Jim and Nicole were absolutely the best host. The property was beautiful and well maintained. We stayed in the Ravens Haven and it was clean and spacious. The bed was large and comfortable. Nicole was amazing with accommodating us when another local lodge failed to fulfill our reservation.

This was one of the most beautiful places to stay! It really made our Ketchikan visit extraordinary!! The owners were so welcoming and friendly, and it really made us want to go back. Thank you so much for everything that you included in our stay. The rooms were beautiful. The food was great and the views were fabulous!! If you were looking for a little Unique getaway this is your place. We will definitely be back with our family and friends :)

We had an excellent visit! Located in a great spot and easy to get into town. The owners Jim and Nicole were fantastic. Welcoming and full of suggestions on what to see. They were available and happy to assist with anything. Rooms were big and plenty of space. We will absolutely be back!

Our vacation at the Blackbear Inn was fabulous! My husband and I stayed in a small upstairs apartment that was absolutely gorgeous and fully stocked. Nicole and Jim were wonderful hosts and the location was excellent ! Car rental was simple and facilitated by Nicole. Jim picked us up from the ferry and gave us a tour of the town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful time at the Black Bear Inn. The inn sits on the shoreline. Each room had access to a large deck with amazing views of the water and surrounding hills. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. An excellent continental breakfast was included each night. We basically had the entire kitchen available to us. There is also a gazebo with a hot tub, barbeque with eating space in case you wish to cook your catch of fish.

Nicole and Jim treat you as family and create an environment where you feel at home. Very knowledgeable about their community and make some great recommendations of places to go, eat, shop and visit. Jim had a continental hype breakfast laid out each morning where you come and serve yourself at your pace. Beds were comfortable, wonderful scenery, on the water and lots of outside space to relax in. We will stay again when in Ketchikan.

We stayed a week here for our first time in Ketchikan, and wouldn't stay anywhere else. From the year prior when I first talked with Nicole I knew we were at the right place! All the trips Nicole booked for us are amazing! We were so happy with every second of our stay here from landing at the airport with a message to a hate to leave checkout. The whole property and especially the Bunkhouse are perfect for a fun home away. We spent every morning and evening enjoying the views from around the property. The amenities were perfect from the beds to the kitchen to the outdoor areas. Nicole and Jim were so helpful before during, and after our stay, and we truly thank you for everything! All the Charters, trips, restaurant, parking, and other tips were so helpful and enjoyed! We hope to be back and will definitely stay here, and recommend to friends and family.

Solitude is what we seek in a B&B, and the Bunkhouse at the Black Bear Inn delivered. Nicole was a very gracious host. Great location on the water and a short four miles north of town. Restaurant recommendations: Alava's, BPL, Timbers, and Alaska Fish House Hikes: Perseverance Lake
