Black Bear Inn ReviewThis is a new luxury inn on a large waterfront lot with extensive gardens and a trail to a private beach. The main building shows the owners' attention to detail and exquisite taste -- wood floors, exceptional tile, fireplaces, the best fabrics, leather furniture, Alaskan art originals, satellite TV (flat screen) and radio, and so on. Each of the five units has its own covered porch and there is a large outdoor hot tub. A two-bedroom cabin in a refurbished cannery building overlooks the water, with walls of whitewashed red cedar and floors of slate and porcelain. The hosts, Nicole and Jim Church, offer unusual services, as well: They'll lend a crab pot or teach a guest to smoke fish. Breakfasts are self-served from a shared guest kitchen; a suite and the cabin have their own cooking facilities. The location is near the ferry terminal and airport, 4 miles north of downtown. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Partner Deals:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
