Bear and Breakfast finds the magic in woodland resort management

When you — a bear named Hank — stumble upon an abandoned shack in the woods, you do what any eager, well-meaning bear would do: You start a rustic resort for corporate getaways under a company named Pawn Voyage. The woods have long been abandoned by humans, the old buildings left to fall into disrepair. Pawn Voyage doesn’t seem to care who takes over the work. There’s money to be made from humans — why shouldn’t a bear benefit?
