    David and Maxine are truly wonderful people and it was such a delight to meet them both and stay in their B&B. I felt at "home" from the moment I drove up and David greeted me with "are you one of mine?" I was hooked. I felt like I was staying with relatives.....but much nicer than my relatives!! The location was perfect, beautiful views from the front porch and peaceful. Highly recommend!!


    A unique experience

    My wife and I have been going to the Old Bear for a number of years. The hospitality extended by the owners Dave & Maxine is without equal. They are very gracious hosts as well as individulas you would be glad to have as friends. The location, nestled in the pines, reminds me of days spent in Colorado. The warmth of the summer and the chill of the winter. For us it has been a great escape from daily life in California. The setting is picturesque and the accomodations are of good quality.


    outstanding!

    My partner and I went to the Old Bear for our first anniversary to watch the Lyrids meteor shower up on Mount Pinos in the Los Padres National Forest. We called the Monday before arriving and made a reservation. David was very nice on the phone, and provided a few different room/price options. We chose the Blue Bird room, which was the cheapest. He said we could bring our dog (if he was "amiable"), and that arriving late was fine. We arrived at about 10pm on Friday evening, and, embarrassingly, I walked right in to their front hall, not realizing that this IS actually the owners' house! I was mortified, but they were gracious and welcoming, and very excited to meet our dog. They offered the hot tub, their large collection of DVDs, and a portable DVD player for our room. None of the other guests had arrived yet, and we confirmed that it would be okay for us to come and go as we pleased - we were planning on heading up to Mt. Pinos right then to see some of the meteor shower. They said that was completely fine, and showed us around the place. Maxine told us about breakfast, and then we left for a few hours. We weren't aware when we booked that we would have to share a bathroom with the other guests, but didn't turn out to be a big deal. (They have a room with a private bath, but it was booked.) We did have to wait a bit to use it in the morning, but otherwise, we joined the other guests downstairs and had a very pleasant breakfast finding out about both our hosts, and the other guests. Maxine served a breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, and juices. We checked out soon after to head home, but there was a greeting-card making craft lesson happening at around 11am! Overall, despite it being a little different than staying in a normal hotel, it was worth it! One night, plus breakfast, at a very affordable price. The room and bathroom was very clean, and our hosts were very gracious. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

    My wife and I went camping just outside of Pine Mountain Club the day after Thanksgiving. We were expecting some rain, but, with a 4-season tent we were actually looking forward to it (we live in LA, so some refreshing rain in the mountains sounded great!) We woke up the next morning to about 6 inches of snow and a stuck car. After getting ahold of the fire department and getting a ride back to town, we needed a warm place to stay. We were a little worried at first because we also had our 65 lbs dog with us. The fire chief directed us to the Old Bear and Maxine was happy to welcome a stranded family. What an absolutely unexpected find!!! Maxine made us feel right at home. Our dog got to play with Pepper ad Heidi in the snow and everyone had a blast. We've decided to head back up there for our February birthdays, but this time we're bringing a bunch of friends. I already called Maxine and booked the whole house for less than a single room at some places we've stayed. Can't wait to go back up to the snow, the hospitality and The Old Bear. Thanks again, Maxine! Chris and Patti
