"Thank you so much for making us feel so special. You most definitely went above & beyond what we would ever expect from any Bed & Breakfast. You spoiled my husband with your down-home cookin' and he doesn't want to leave! We came here for our honeymoon and can't wait to come back. We left here with a great experience and the feeling of new friends made. Thank you!"

"We just want to thank you so much, for your great hospitality and friendship you shared with us. You can count on us being back!! We haven't been to a better place than the Blackbear! Your rooms are very comfortable and inviting. You really know how to make people feel right at home away from home, that makes your place even more special. The people, & the atmosphere were the best. We would like to look into the "Little Bear" for our family - can you give us a price list for the Little Bear? Thanks again for the best weekend!"

- Curtis & Trudy M., Salt Lake City, UT

"Ouray's breathtaking 360° mountain views, combined with the Black Bear's warm welcome, beautiful rooms, magnificent breakfasts, and all those unexpected but welcome amenities, make Ouray and the Black Bear a "must experience" destination. Even having to work for a few hours was delightful - with the Observatory as our temporary office and wireless Internet access we were back on vacation in no time. Thank you, Phil and Lucie! We can't wait to tell our friends!"

- Jim and Edie E., Charlotte, NC

"Thank you, again, for a wonderful three nights. The Black Bear Manor was excellent. Melissa and I were talking about other B&B's that we have stayed at in the past and the Black Bear Manor is by far the best. The breakfasts were filling and flavorful. The two of you go above and beyond what most B&B's offer; i.e, the wine, the truffles, the baked deserts, the availability of water, and the small (relative) snacks of stew or other items. The room accommodations are amazing. I know some of what I am writing is minimal but the BBM had a major impact on our vacation. We will be back again and our wonderful experience will spread by word of mouth."

- Gregg R., Colorado

Dear Phil and Lucie, Having you take care of us was like having Mom and Dad around again. I haven't felt this pampered since I left home. Thanks again for the exceptional hospitality.

-Lisa A., Colorado

Dear Lucie and Phil, Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We had a lovely time and hope to come back again very soon. Thanks a million!!

- Lorraine and Leigh, Australia - XO

Just a short note to let you know what a wonderful time we had the three nights we spent with you. You're very gracious hosts, and I can't imagine why anyone who has stayed there would not want to come back again. It's just an ideal spot, and we were able to meet some very nice people (including of course yourselves).  I don't know what the future holds for us, but if we are even close to that part of Colorado again, we'll stay with you. We're recommending Black Bear Manor to anyone we know who will vacation in Southwestern Colorado. We hope that you will have lasting success there. 
Best of luck to you (except when Southlake plays Katy).
