. Situated in South Rossland, this B&B is accommodated in a large, old Victorian style building, one of the larger houses in the neighbourhood. It features period furniture which adds to the charm during your stay.
The owners, Katie & Greg, are said to be warm, inviting and very accommodating, going above and beyond that normally offered in a B&B. Free Wi Fi and an outdoor hot tub are among the many amenities offered here.
Sometimes a B&B just gets everything right. Dreamy comfortable bed, tasteful recent renovation, long stem cutlery, mission style furniture, sumptuous furniture, fresh and varied breakfast. From an inviting dark wood-paneled interior, to a heated-tile floor in the bathroom, this is a place to relax and such a nice surprise to find in tiny Rossland BC. Greg is the consummate B&B host - accommodating, warm, helpful but never intrusive or obsequious, he obviously prides himself in getting things just right yet doesn't make a big deal of it. A pleasant stay.
What a find in the ski town of Rossland BC. This was our first time experiencing a Bed and Breakfast, and we were pleasantly surprised. It was warm and inviting, it really felt like home. The host Greg was very friendly and personable. Even one day I stayed back in the B&B since I was not feeling well, Greg was very kind and offered to stop by the store to get me anything that I may have needed. The location was great and the home itself is very warm and inviting. Every morning we had quite the choices for breakfast, which was nice since I'm kind of a picky eater. And what better way to end your stay but to have a soak in the outdoor hot tub. Overall I highly recommend this B&B for anyone who wants to escape the commercialized chain of hotels and enjoy the true meaning of a home away from home.

The Black Bear Inn, named after one of Rossland's original gold mines circa 1897, was designed by architect J.J. Honeyman, who also designed Rossland’s historic courthouse. Many notable local figures have lived here over time, and you can see echoes of Honeyman’s late-Victorian design sensibilities throughout the house with its original Douglas fir floors, stained glass windows and stunning coffered ceilings. Now freshened with a clean contemporary palette and all the modern comforts of home, the house blends past and present to create a warm, friendly, relaxed and awesome ambience.
Superbly located with cross-country skiing, mountain biking, hiking and relaxed forest strolls right at our doorstep. We’re a seven-minute walk to Rossland’s quaint Main Street of boutiques and cafes, a seven-minute drive to Red Mountain (also shuttle accessible).
