stay at the
amber bear inn

Amber Bear Inn is a quaint country inn nestled in the hollow of Beaver Peak on a 400-acre wildlife sanctuary. The Inn boasts a full service bar & restaurant as well as a 24 -Hour Casino and ATM. It is bordered on the south by the Kootenai National Forest. The area is Montana's only rain forest and contains an impressive variety of trees, plants, wild berries and wildflowers. Birds and wildlife abound.

The inn is named for the area's cinnamon-colored bears that are frequently blonde in color when they first emerge from hibernation. A petting zoo of animals is a subtle reminder that the grounds were a ranching homestead for close to 100 years. Water from Brewer's Creek cascades down the mountainside and was one of the ingredients used in a large bootlegging operation in earlier decades.

The Inn is dog friendly and the area is a horseback rider's paradise. We have accommodations for your horse should you wish to explore the National Forest on horseback while staying here. We also welcome Heron Happy Trails, an equestrian facility which rents horses for pleasure rides or lessons on our grounds.

The left wing of the Inn has a cozy casino with 12 video gaming machines (VGM). The VGMs boast a wide variety of poker, keno, and reel games. The casino has always been non-smoking and is well-ventilated. It is staffed 24 hours a day and is always open to the public, even on holidays. The Inn is built in a hotel-style, making the casino easily accessible to our lodging guests without the need to go outside.

The VGM's have tables beside them to accommodate beverages or even a meal should someone wish to eat as they play. Public restrooms and an ATM are conveniently located in the casino. All gaming players must be 18 years of age or older.

Peace & Quiet

Such a great place to stay for some serious peace and quiet. Beds were soft. Rooms were warm. The couple that runs it are friendly and welcoming. Food was great. And the views were breathtaking. Saw some elk, deer, peacocks and even got to see the bear

A GREAT PLACE 

I  was there to shoot a wedding up the valley, but found the Amber Bear the most restful, recharging stay of my summer. Comfy bed and jetted tub healed my body and the 5 star restaurant recharged the rest of me
