    A wonderful place to relax and spend a few days. Giulio and Jenny are the best hosts and I would recommend their B&B!! Would I return? Most certainly.

    One of my all time favorites, hidden away on several acres of evergreen trees, a koi pond with a gazebo, and spectacular gardens, Bear's Lair is a wonderful place to stay. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated and sported the innkeeper's master craftsmanship in the detailing of its woodwork, with a private water fountain outside the window. We felt we were camping in luxury alongside a babbling brook. Woudn't have missed this experience for anything.
