Shawnie

Gender: Male

Hometown: The Woods

Occupation: Founder, BearBnb

Shawnie grew up with his Papa Bear and Mama Bear in a cottage in the woods. He enjoyed eating porridge and hosting occassional unexpected guests. He has always been very particular about his mattresses, preferring them to be not too hard and not too soft.


We’re not just another short-term homestay marketplace. BearBnb is an online marketplace specifically for stuffies wanting to avoid the traditional hotel space, which can be difficult (if not impossible) for stuffies to navigate. High check-in counters, drivers license requirements, and too-tall beds are barriers to entry for the typical stuffy. Our rentals cater to stuffies’ particular needs. In addition to non-discriminatory practices, we guarantee that all of our beds are neither too hard nor too soft. We use Sleep Number beds in all of our rentals, thus you can rest assured that your BearBnb bed will be just right.
