"I had a cancelled flight in Dillingham so called Bear Paw Inn to see about getting a room, Jon, the owner answered and was super friendly and told me he had a room available and he was even on the way to the airport already to pick someone else up. Prices are very reasonable for the area and I was more than happy with my stay. Had a couple friends get a room as well and they also enjoyed the stay. Teresa took us to the airport the next morning and she was also amazing and very helpful. Also had some amazing stories from growing up in the area! Will definitely be staying again if I’m in town."

"I sent 5 employees in May to Dillingham for a meeting and had them all stay at the Bear Paw. Great spot. Clean, comfy, close in. John Montooth was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, and we had lots of changes and additions and subtractions. They were available to pick up guests at the airport."
Business Owner
"We rented two rooms from John. They were spacious and had nice kitchens in them. John is knowledgeable about the area. John was easy to book with. I would definitely recommend the Bear Paw Inn."

"I visited for a few nights in winter, I was very happy with my stay. The room was clean, the building was warm, and the person I spoke with on the phone to make my reservation was very friendly. I would stay again."
