This is in a wonderful area of the Catskills with a creek streaming in the back if you wish to visit it. I've stayed a few times and I've seen many people take their dogs to Black Bear. They love the treed property for walks. It's close to farm stands or antiquing in the various towns along route 23.

As a little motel close to a festival venue, the Black Bear Lodge was just what I was looking for. I was prepared for it to be small and basic and for the decor to be somewhat dated. What I found was a motel that was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The innkeeper was delightful. I would stay there again.

Black Bear Lodge is the perfect place to lay your head at night after a long day of hiking and outdoor adventures! The host was very kind as she provided light breakfast each morning (fruit, tea, coffee, muffins, croissants, bottled water), and checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well. I would definitely stay here again when I am in the area!

The room was very clean and well appointed with a fridge and microwave. Great tv selections for watching tv at night. There's a beautiful stream in the back of the property and you can enjoy coffee, fruit or cereal out on the patio in front of your room. There's a short drive to Prattsville Diner and Jim's All American supermarket.

Most of the hotels and inns around there require 2-nights stay, but not this property. Not over the top, just clean, comfortable, and cheap. 12min sway from the ski resort and restaurants.

Great getaway

Black Bear lodge is a great getaway and excellent base to explore the area as it’s so central. We had excellent communication ahead of our check in, a real warm welcome and helpful with dining tips. The room was spacious and comfortable. The lodge is just off the main road but if we heard a car we didn’t notice, it’s so quiet around there. The place is ideal if you’re looking to escape a few days, there was fresh coffee and pastries in the morning and loads of free parking. thanks for your hospitality 👍

What a wonderful property. A stream and some hiking are in the back. It's clean and efficient with a fridge, microwave and flat screen tv with plenty of channels. Wifi is available to make calls or work on your laptop, but who wants to do that in this beautiful area. Close to skiing in Hunter/Tannersville area for the winter. An older property, but I love that.
