At Lil Black Bear Inn, travelers consistently praise the friendly hosts, very clean rooms, and a standout homemade breakfast that many cite as a highlight of their stay in this cozy bed-and-breakfast.
Set in quiet woods, it’s a short drive to Nashville and Brown County State Park. Common drawbacks include fixed 9 a.m. breakfast time, some smaller rooms, and occasional noise between rooms; a few guests reported issues like an undisclosed pet fee or a problem with the hot tub. Expect a relaxed, country-style stay with hearty morning meals.

Jim is an awesome host. Very congenial. The Jacuzzi bathtub was the best I’ve ever used. Did not love the steep stairs to get up to flights to our room nor all of the ladybugs on the ceiling though I understand what happened. We were in the middle of a forest and they were brought in to feast on an infestation of other creatures. Breakfast was good and enjoyed the company of the Mother and daughter from Chicago and South Bend. Wi-Fi was spotty and often weak so I could not get done when I needed to.

We were welcomed at the car with a very friendly hello. WOW! Such a nice place, and such a nice couple that own/run it. Very clean, very comfortable. Coffee service available 24/7. Pleasant atmosphere. The breakfast was worth the price of the room! I felt like royalty, being catered to. We so enjoyed our stay. We will go back there if we should spend the night again. Thanks Jim and Jill for your wonderful hospitality.

Our stay at the Lil Black Bear Inn was cozy, charming and exceptional. The Petunia room was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. We had a balcony to enjoy! The breakfast was delicious, generous, and creative. We especially enjoyed the scrambled eggs 😊 The host was friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would recommend the Lil Black Bear Inn.

Everything was excellent except for the bed. The bed was really soft and I felt like I sank into it making it hard to move once laying on it. Otherwise they are fantastic. Jim and Jill cook breakfast for everyone and cook your eggs to your liking. Scrambled eggs are EGGcelent! Peaceful sanctuary by the pond is great too. Loved the property and the inn. My first Bed and Breakfast experience and the only negative was the bed but I still slept.

Also the room and bathroom were extremely small. We will not be back. The best part was the breakfast…2 eggs from their chickens bacon potatoes and toast.

The ceiling was creaking loudly all night long from the people in the room above. The male host was intrusive with his opinions during conversations among the guests and mean spirited to a guest who thought breakfast was at 9:30 instead of 9. He wouldn’t stop “teasing” her. It was very uncomfortable for the rest of us.

In spite of rain coming to Brown County, my fiance' and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Lil Black Bear Inn, located in a rustic setting. Hosts Jim and Jill couldn't have been more welcoming and gracious. Their complimentary breakfast was a thing of beauty and got our day off to a wonderful start as we dined with other folks who'd also braved the wet elements on their travels to stop at this hamlet. We're hopeful of stopping there again, as our quaint room offered us rest and relaxation with either Columbus or Nashville mere minutes away. On the immediate property, quail were frolicking as we took in the forestation with fog mingling with the rain to create a pleasurable experience we hope to return to again soon.

Dining
The homemade hot breakfast is a standout—often cooked to order—and frequently praised for taste and generous portions. Note the fixed 9 a.m. serving time with limited flexibility and occasional comments about bacon-heavy aromas or expectations of a buffet.

This is a B&B not an Inn. An old house conversion in the woods which was a great location. I prefer being able to control the temperature in my space due to heat sensitivity. Breakfast is served only at 9 AM. We woke up early and needed to leave at 8:30 a.m. We got coffee, but nothing to eat. I would’ve been happy with some toast, boiled eggs, and yogurt. The breakfast time was nonnegotiable. I guess I need a little more flexibility and control of my time and space.

James & Jill were super host. Checked us in and showed us around the place. We had full rein of the property, if we wished. The toast at breakfast was excellent along with the cook to order meal. We were quite surprised at how nice the place is and loved it's history

It was quaint and convenient to the concert I attended. The host was helpful and communicated well. Must love bacon! Breakfast was yummy and I enjoyed dining with the other guests. Bacon was plentiful and everything smelled of it, even my clothes when I left : )

We were welcomed at the car with a very friendly hello. WOW! Such a nice place, and such a nice couple that own/run it. Very clean, very comfortable. Coffee service available 24/7. Pleasant atmosphere. The breakfast was worth the price of the room! I felt like royalty, being catered to. We so enjoyed our stay. We will go back there if we should spend the night again. Thanks Jim and Jill for your wonderful hospitality.

Cute little B&B in the woods near where we were running a race and needed a place to stay for one night. The owner was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and neat, all amenities we needed were provided. Wish we could have had breakfast with them in the morning, but our race started before breakfast time!

We had such a delightful day at the little fair Inn. Breakfast was fantastic and the property grounds were beautiful. It was so nice to just sit and enjoy looking at all the flowers, the pond, and enjoying the swings. Our house were absolutely fantastic and very attentive to our needs.
