Yes, lovely staff. The 1915 was great. We especially appreciated the write up on Jackie Robinson -- Had no idea of all that history! Lovely cottage room on the river. Cozy fireplace. Very romantic.

The cabin was a half a mile away from the lodge no amenities the room was so small that you could barely walk three steps. The bathroom was so small the door almost hit you when you’re using the toilet.

Stayed at the Overlook Lodge in Bear Mountain and it was a really nice experience. The lodge has a cozy, rustic feel with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and it’s very peaceful compared to the busier parts of Bear Mountain. It feels like a getaway spot where you can actually relax.

Staff wasn’t too friendly or helpful. The room was very small and outdated. The tvs are old and the bathrooms are terrible. The tub was dirty and the water came out brown and very very tiny. Expected a little more considering it was a nice area and nice scenery but I’ve been to motels better than this.

Originally, we were in the Lodge. We were told that it was a 10-15 minute walk from the Inn which is the main building not only for rooms but the restaurant and lounge area. What they failed to say was that the walk between the Inn and the Lodge is not only up-and-down hilly but takes around 15-20 minutes to walk. There is a car service of which we availed ourselves. We also switched into the Inn the next day when a beautiful room opened up. It had two rooms — a living room with a sofa and lounge chairs, a gigantic TV screen on the wall and a hutch with a refrigerator. The bedroom had two double beds and an entry to the bathroom. We were more than satisfied! This “little apartment” made our stay! Ruth Dunner

Bear mountain is beautiful. The cabin would be great for a large group where everyone gets a room. Each individual room is small and you are far from the front desk.

We liked the peace and quiet of the wooded surroundings and eating dinner on the deck overlooking the lake with other guests. The after dinner walk with our dog on the path around the lake was the highlight of the evening.

The check in was very confusing. Our email said to go to 55 Hesien Road to check in, but when we got there we actually had to go to the main inn.Why couldn’t there be someone at the Overlook to check us in? How expensive could that be?)And even at the main inn, I was a little unclear which door to go in for check in. It was late, I was tired. The staff (guy at the desk at the inn) was super helpful and friendly though. So that was excellent. The shower in our room was not hot. Luke warm at best. I’d say uncomfortably cool. We were next to a room with kids. The walls were thin (or maybe because we had an adjoining room) but they woke us up early just by being kids. The room was clean though. And beds were comfortable. I didn’t think I was rating the whole stay when I gave two stars. I thought I was rating the check in experience. Overall experience would be 4 stars.
