“The Best Inn around Bear Mountain Area!”

The place is really clean and their front desk agent are really knowledgeable about there surrounding area such as best places to eat, shop etc. They also have some really delicious carrot muffins on there breakfast buffet. I really can't wait to go back during fall season over there. Overall experience satisfied!

“Beautiful gem of a hotel in gorgeous setting”

Lovely renovated room with gorgeous views. No elevator for second story room was only downside.

“What a find!”

Appears to be recently and nicely renovated, this is a beautiful WPA-built rustic location not too far away from the city. Really a beautiful retreat!

“Can't wait to go back”

We like the location etc

“Wonderful Escape...Great Value!”

The Bear Mountain Lodge is a charming little hotel nestled in the hills of the State Park. Call ahead & you wont get lost. I arrived with little expectation & was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are nicely appointed with modern amenities. The microwave & refrigerator were a god send as we had small children. The view from our room was lovely. Very pretty view of Lake Hessian from the lobby. Everywhere and everything was clean. The free breakfast was fresh & tasty. The staff was amazing. Sherwood, Cherie and Mary to name a few were all very helpful and always cheerful. While it is not the Ritz, it is a comfortable, relaxing picturesque place, that also has a beautiful reception hall that would be perfect for a wedding. What a great bang for my bucks!! Yes there are day trippers especially on the weekend but that was in the park, the Lodge itself is tucked away in its own little corner away from the crowd, which was heavy on the weekend but come Monday we mostly had the place to ourselves. Lake Welsh and Sebago Beaches are a quick drive away. The drive up to the Perkins Memorial is not to be missed. Lots of hiking trails and scenic routes that offer jaw dropping views of the Mountain and the mighty Hudson River. The kids enjoyed boating/fishing in the lake, swimming in the massive pool, playing in the playground and riding the carousel. My husband and I agree that this could also be a very romantic getaway for two. We all had a fantastic time and will go back.

“More Than Bear Essentials”

We stayed at the Bear Mountain Inn's Overlook Lodge for two nights in October, 2011, as the Bear Mountain Inn itself was undergoing an extensive renovation. Everyone on the staff was very friendly and helpful. They took care of our check-in without a problem in spite of their internet connection being out - they had no confirmation of our reservation. Also very helpful with dining recommendations and such. Our room was comfortable and clean. Everything worked. Our room had two large trees right outside the window, so we had a "foliage view." In the winter the same room would have a nice view of Hessian Lake.

“Pleasantly Surprised”

We made the reservation the night before and choose Bear Mountain for its location. Although it is stated on the web site that accommodations are for the stone cottages or a room at the Overlook Lodge, the Bear Mountain Inn itself is currently closed. This should be stated on the web sight to prevent confusion. Also better signage at the inn directing you to the lodge would be helpful. We originally planned to stay in one of the stone lodges but found the room to be too small for our likening and very damp smelling. I asked if a larger room was available and they moved us to the Overlook Lodge. The room was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities. The staff was cheerful and helpful. The continental breakfast was wonderful, plenty of in-season fresh fruit. There wasn't any dining available at the lodge, however, at check in, they gave us a map with area restaurants. There are gorgeous views and walking paths and mountain trails we did not get a chance to try because of time restraints. We plan to stay there again to explore further.

“Great place for relaxing stay surrounded by nature”
