Residing 2,000 ft. above the valley floor, the Black Bear Inn offers the most panoramic views and sunsets in Vermont. Sit back and relax in an unhurried atmosphere or enjoy 6,000 pristine private acres, which feature tennis courts, a crystal clear swimming pool, and miles of trails that are perfect for hiking, biking, horse-back riding or nature tours. Centrally located just 20 minutes from Burlington or Montpelier, the Black Bear Inn is perfect for retreats, seminars, weddings or reunions. No visit to the inn would be complete without a visit to our gift shop. We have everything from Vermont maple syrup to Black Bear clothing.
