Excellent accommodations and atmosphere. Nature lovers and hikers, come here! Our lodge was cute and clean, with amenities. Free coffee dollars! One recommendation I’d have for the BB Inn might be to improve food quality in the cafe. Restaurant and staff otherwise are excellent.

We stayed in one of the stone cottages and were given two keys to our room and only one of the two worked. Walls are pretty thin you could hear other people's conversations. The room itself was cozy and clean and has a romantic vibe making it an ideal location for a weekend getaway with your partner.

A small room but a great location. Bed was comfortable and A/C worked well. A little noisy, since the rooms are close to each other. Can be a bit of a challenge to find the room we were staying in. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful and the room was clean.

Very lovely place nice and clean, but the rooms are extremely small and it’s controlled by central air outside the room. Which means all the rooms on your floor. I have to be at the same temperature if another room one hot or cold that’s exactly what Room would be which I found to be ridiculous. I’ve never understood thatI stayed in the summit section, but I booked for overlook so I’m not sure exactly how that worked out. Beautiful scenery wonderful staff very clean place.

We love Bear Mountain and even got married at the Overlook Lodge. For my 50th High School reunion, we decided to stay there again. We booked one of the stone villas. Overall, the unit was clean, well kept and brought back many great memories. Unfortunately, the TV did not work. We called the front desk day after day, was assured that it would be addressed ... yet it never was corrected. Not really a big deal, but just disappointing that nobody came to look at it. Please tell the front desk and maintenance crews to communicate better - both between themselves and the customers. Again, we love Bear Mountain so here's looking forward to future stays there with better results.

The facility is keep in excellent condition. Built in 1915 the building and grounds are a jewel. Dinner in the historic main dining room was outstanding. The only negative was the breakfast in the downstairs cafe. Poor quality and service. I suggest you eat breakfast elsewhere.
