Doing a cooking show for the Harrison food pantry today. Lasagna 101- mastering a classic 😋

The point of this show is to teach people how to utilize the ingredients they received from the pantry to the fullest. We love to make sure no one goes hungry.

Hi — I’m Jessica 🤍
And if you’re new here, I’m so glad you found us.

My husband Nick and I are the family behind Bear Mountain Inn. We don’t just work here — we live here, raise our girls here, and open our doors with the hope that every person who arrives feels truly welcomed.

What began as a love for gathering, hosting, and caring for people has grown into a place where weddings, weekends away, and meaningful moments unfold — often slower, fuller, and more intentionally than people expect.

When couples plan their weddings with us, my role, along with our BMI Wedding Crew, is to walk alongside them — to make the process feel clear, supportive, and grounded. We care deeply about the experience — not just the day itself, but how it feels to plan, to arrive, to settle in, and to celebrate with the people you love most.

At the heart of everything we do is family, connection, and hospitality that feels genuine — never rushed, never transactional.

Whether you’re here because you’re planning a wedding, dreaming of a weekend away, or simply following along — welcome. We’re really glad you’re here.

🤍 Jessica (and Nick, Stella + Natalie)
