The property and house are beautiful, clean and well maintained. Every morning we were able to start our day off right with a great breakfast. You can get a gluten free option if you like. Matt and Lynn were so nice during our stay. Lynn had so many great recommendations of places to eat and things to do. Even when I asked where can I see a moose! We enjoyed all of our time at the inn. There's ample room to sit outside with a drink, a book and relax in nature. We are looking forward to our next visit and exploring more of what Maine has to offer!

Summer days have never felt more relaxing than when you're by the water in one of their many lounge chairs. If your'e with family, like I was, there's paddle boarding, a game center, picnic areas, and beautiful scenes. Dan and Roseana, and really the whole staff, were so welcoming, warm, and accommodating to our every need. No request went unanswered. If you go you must stay for the weekend, or at least until Friday if you're staying during the week. Their lobster bake by the water is so enjoyable; it's a true Maine experience. In fact, it's more than that. It's a Tarry A While experience. You can't get that kind of community with delicious food anywhere else in Maine. I will definitely be going back and will always ask friends and family to come with me!

Every part of the experience here is wonderful. From driving up and seeing the beautiful manor and grounds, to checking in and seeing your room, and to enjoying daily breakfast and fresh coffee. Every room has AC and heat, as well as its own bathroom and complimentary grooming soaps! The rooms are unique and the real handcrafted wood furnishings in each tells a story of the past. The water pressure is excellent and the water can become glacier ice cold or boiling water hot in just a few seconds. Very refreshing in the morning! Jill is extremely accommodating and will help answer any questions about the town and offer recommendations for outings and local dining. She is also a great storyteller. Part of my family's wonderful experience here was truly Jill. One of the kindest souls you'll ever come across! Ask her about the history of the manor and how it was passed on to her from her parents! Jill is a professional baker and every baked treat is made daily and is so delicious!! We enjoyed fresh chocolate chip cookies, apple pie French toast, banana cake, and more just in our 4 day visit! Omg YUM!! The covered porch is an oasis itself with a great view of the carefully tended garden and grounds and wildlife. I sat out here and read a book with my fresh coffee every day, even on the rainy ones. Very minimal bugs and great weather (August time). Just a 20 min walk to the local general store, pizza place, and ice cream stop- as well as a FANTASTIC view of Long Lake!! There are sitting areas right by the general store that overlook the lake as well. If you are looking to get away and unplug, the Greenwood Manor Inn is exactly where you want to be! If you want to get away but still stay on the grid, complimentary free high-speed wifi is also provided- along with lots of comfortable sitting areas, board games, books, and all-day tea bar. This place and the wonderful couple who run it are truly magical and this place is a gem in Maine! Highly highly recommend!

They were some of the most genuine and kind souls that bring extra charm to the beautiful landscape of the inn. I began discussing the event with Jill a few months ago. From our first conversation, she won me over as the winner of our event space. The menu, space, and overall price were exactly what we were envisioning for the bridal shower. She was beyond excited and accommodating in planning the event alongside us. The day before the shower, we were able to drop off all of the supplies and explore the inn. The morning of the shower, the tables were all set up, and Jill took the time to making our simple plates into gorgeous place settings. For the shower, we enjoyed a brunch with a mimosa bar. Every single menu item was beyond delicious from the cowboy quiche (insanely delicious) to the apple pie french toast (to die for) to the fresh salad (refreshing and sweet). All 30 of our guests raved about the dishes and treats provided by Jill. My personal favorites were these tiny apple crumble bars and the freshest blueberry scones I've ever had. We were also able to bring in our own ice cream bar as our shower theme was "She's Been Scooped Up". Beyond the scrumptious pastries and spread, we had a picture perfect April day with clear skies, lots of sunshine, and warmth. The garden view from the patio was the perfect backdrop for the festivities. As each guest said their goodbyes, they complimented the enchanting atmosphere of every aspect of the inn. I would give a 10 star review if possible! I could not recommend this location more if I tried. Be sure to check out this charming getaway spot or event space. You will NOT regret it!!!

Nick and Jessica go above and beyond for their couples and Cassie is an incredible day of coordinator that makes you feel like you're at home on your big day. It was pouring rain all day on Saturday and the whole BMI team made our day so special. We decided early on to have our ceremony in the beautiful barn on site and it was literally the most beautiful set up I've ever seen at a wedding. We couldn't get over how beautiful everything looked. It is such an intimate and beautiful memory that is burned in our brains for life. Our wedding was for about 160ish people so we rented a tent to do our reception outside - this couldn't have been an easier process and the tent looked like a fairy tale out on the yard. When I tell you think is the most incredible wedding venue on the face of the Earth we so mean it. Every single moment our wedding was so perfect and it was really was made possible by the team at the Bear Mountain Inn. Nick, Jessica and Cassie + team we LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH and legit cannot wait to come back in the winter to hang out and party with you guys. Thank you SO much for everything you did for us WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! ps - these photos were taken by Ben Wheeler at Ben Wheeler Photography Rooms: Literally the cleanest, most beautiful rooms I've stay at away from home. Every single one of our guests were blown away by the Inn. Nearby activities: Lake life, quaint restaurants and beautiful scenery! Noteworthy details: The property the Bear Mountain Inn sits on is a literal dream. It was foggy and raining on our wedding day and it really looked like something out of a movie like OMG take me back!!!

We drove by beautiful waterways - not sure if they were ponds or lakes, but they were beautiful and snow capped mountains in the distance - simply breathtaking as you drive further away from civilization. The location is easy to find, it's private enough for your events as well - far away from heavily traffic roads. There was plenty of parking for our group of 38 people (some of us did car pool). The grounds were so well kept - clean and neat and multiple outdoor fire pits to sit around, each with comfy chairs. The views of the water from the Inn grounds were so peaceful. You can also hike away from the water as well. So much nature to just take in, very calming for frayed nerves. The buildings are updated, but remain with a rustic style. Seems like pages right of a catalog. Gorgeous. The owners were so warm and welcoming to our group and very respectful of the privacy of the retreat. They took the time to welcome each of us and get to know us as people. Very much felt like we were guests in their home. It was fantastic. We hope to be able to visit again next year. Beautiful venue for retreats, weddings and gatherings. I highly recommend based on my days worth of experience.

We chose to sit in the living room where the records were playing out of. And the cocktail menu was unique and amazing. We took in the room and the vibe. It was lovely. The Munch paintings on the wall. The books casually laid about that were epic flip throughs. Then the tastings. We moved back up our assigned table and we were served like 10 different tastings. It started with oysters, then vegetables, a fish pairing, more vegetables from their garden, and another meat and three deserts! Now without getting into specifics it was full of local flavors so exquisitely combined. We didn't even do the alcohol pairings, but the food stood alone. It was fabulous. The chef did an amazing job. If you get a chance, the service, the environment, the drink, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!!!

It was so creative, worth the money and an experience that my husband and I still talking about. The scallop with the apple and smoked garlic, along with the goat stew with sunshine squash were top favorites for us. All courses were presented on thrifted tableware, curated perfectly. The next morning, after we took our time waking up after a deep sleep, we sauntered over to breakfast where our crepes were freshly made and the coffee kept coming. It was one of my favorite dinner experiences of all time. Can't wait to go back!
