I called 2 weeks in advance of our stay for reservations. When we arrived, we were told we didn't have reservations. Owner wrote down the wrong day. Instead of just getting us an available room, the owner wanted to argue and blame us for her mistake. In the past, they have been friendly and welcoming. There are too many other... More

I have been to the Bear Cove Inn many times now and every time I go I am more excited than before. The rooms are so cute and homey. Bob and Elaine are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. You will not be disappointed when you stay at the Bear Cove Inn in St. Ignace. Looking forward... More

I have just read all the reviews. I read half of them to my husband too. I can not believe half of what these people said. We have never had a problem with smells or stickiness in the room. The owners are so nice and helpful. We have stayed in three different rooms and plan on returning to the BEAR... More

The Bear Cove Inn is a quirky stop with fun theme rooms, best for families. My husband had a great sleep but I was kept awake by the musty smell and the humid stickiness in the room. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast is limited but helped to start off our day. The owners gave useful tips... More

I have only been up north a couple of times now, and this place is so comfy! I love nature and the rooms made me feel like I was camping. The decorations are very cool and unique and the beds are so cozy. The owners are very friendly ( which from the Lower Peninsula, you aren't used to friendly business... More

Came to stay after reading reviews and I am highly suspicious of who really wrote those. Rooms are horrible, smell bad and for the price go stay at the beautiful hotels on the water with views, pools and cleanliness. I was "assured" the rooms were clean and as a small resort owner I was really surprised at what they consider... More

We stayed two nights in the Bear Cove Inn in the Waterfall room. It's clear that a lot of care has gone into the decor of each room: I think every single leaf was hand-glued onto the beech trees. It is quite over-the-top. Really, we booked here because of the photos from the website, and they didn't do it justice.... More

We now always stay at the Bear Cove Inn when in St. Ignace. The rooms are all unique and fun, and we recommend this marvelous b & b for everyone looking for a great experience. The only time we go to a casino is with our free tokens, and usually end up with a couple of dollars in out pockets!

I have been a returning guest at the Bear Cove for four years now. Initially we stayed in the tree fort room, which was even cooler than the pictures lead me to believe, also have stayed in the King room, Las Vegas room, and the Up North Room. Everytime our stay at the Bear Cove has been memorable, the rooms... More

Bear Cove Inn is ideally located for travel between peninsulas. We booked solely because the rooms looked too ridiculous to be true, and we weren't disappointed. Really enjoyed the kitschy decor, and while breakfast isn't much to write home about, the room is comfortable, clean, and worth photographing.
