Pet friendly and smoker friendly. The only thing is that smokers can only smoke at the benches on this property and few of the more private benches, the benches were in bad shape, like ready to break when you sit on them

"A Gay Place to Stay"

Such a charming retro motel, updated with fine amenities (Hooray for good TP, soaps, tea, coffee) and renovated to maintain the original feel. This was obviously a labor of love - The Schitt's would be proud of these women entrepreneurs! We loved Motel Bear Lake, as well as the Lakeside Cafe for breakfast, and could watch the sunset across the street.

Super comfortable room, very considerate amenities. Love that you don't NEED to check in with staff but they are available if you do want/need to interact. But having a convenience room of supplies is an amazing touch. Good strong WiFi, great water pressure in the shower, comfy bed. I wish we had stayed more than 1 night this time
