Company info

Jill and Jim would like to welcome you to the Lil Black Bear Inn. Whether searching for a new experience or looking for a romantic getaway, it's our passion of hospitality and lifelong dream of running a business that drives us towards being the best we can be. After many years of foster care and helping families, our drive to fulfill our dream of running an inn grew stronger each day until we finally established the bed and breakfast in 2016. Together we found inspiration for the inn's name from a daylily grown in Indiana. The name of the daylily honors the late Little Bear - a black Pomeranian. The room names themselves are derived from flowers: The Lily, The Morning Glory, The Moon Glory, The Lavender, The Bluebell, The Petunia, The Iris.
