About this property

Crotched Mountain Historic Inn

Enjoy a stay in one of our beautiful rooms at the Blue Bear Inn, a cozy New England retreat where rustic charm meets modern comfort. Nestled on 54 scenic acres, the inn offers a peaceful escape with walking trails, inviting common spaces, and warm hospitality.
This room includes a full private bathroom, a modern mini fridge for added convenience, and space for a rollaway bed if you choose to add one onto your stay, making it a great choice for couples or small families looking for a peaceful escape. Easy access, tranquil surroundings, and a touch of history make it a guest favorite.

Named after John and Rose Perry, who lovingly revived the inn in 1976, this cozy ground-floor retreat blends warmth, history, and modern comfort. Located in the East Wing, The Perry Room features a plush queen bed and two comfy chairs—perfect for unwinding with serene views of the forest and mountains. Keep an eye on the Japanese Dogwood just outside; bluebirds love to make it their home!

Guests can unwind in the shared common room, complete with a working fireplace for cooler months, as well as games, books, and a TV for relaxed evenings. For those working remotely, the inn provides reliable WiFi so you can stay connected while enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Our full-service restaurant and tavern, open Thursday through Sunday, features chef-crafted seasonal dishes and handcrafted cocktails, making it the perfect spot to gather and savor delicious meals. In the warmer months, take a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool or sip your morning coffee on the deck, soaking in the beautiful mountain views.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love our prime location—just a 3-minute drive to Crotched Mountain Ski & Ride for winter adventures and 5 minutes from Crotched Mountain Golf Club for a stunning day on the greens. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, an outdoor adventure, or simply to relax, the Blue Bear Inn is your perfect home away from home.
