Black Bear Lodge

From the outside, I was worried about Black Bear Lodge. It needs a little updating. But, our room with the kitchenette was perfect for 2 of us. We cooked dinner both nights. The owners were very personable. They did provide a grab and go breakfast with muffins, croissants, oatmeal, fruit, water, coffee, and chocolate milk. Our queen bed was very comfortable! I would definitely stay there again.

Black Bear Lodge is a little outdated based on its outer appearance. Once you are in the room, it is perfect. We booked a room with a kitchenette which had enough equipment for us to make dinner both evenings of our stay. Kim was very personable. Her grab and go breakfasts included croissants, muffins, instant oatmeal, apples, bananas, coffee, water, and hot chocolate. The room was clean and efficiently designed for housing 2 people. The bed was comfortable. The lodge's location allowed us to travel in various directions to hike. I would stay again.

Firstly we were grateful after arriving for such a clean, quality - and also very simply and TASTEFULLLY decorated room! Adding to that was my experience with the kind owner who went out of her way to save and promptly mail me a robe I left back to Pennsylvania! Highly recommend this lovely accommodation. Our dog enjoyed it too!

Good bang for your buck. Would return! I stayed here with my two young boys the night before we went skiing at Hunter. The location was great - only fifteen minutes from Hunter! The beds were not the most comfortable, but our room was very clean and warm. We really enjoyed the muffins in the continental breakfast! Kim, the manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Really sweet Catskills lodge. Simple, clean, comfortable and affordable. Perfect for a quick weekend away when you want to explore the area.

The hotel itself is located in a quiet, beautiful place near all of the ski mountains. Kim was so friendly and went above and beyond. I had scheduled a pickup to go to Hunter Mountain and my ride never showed up. I had limited service, which made it hard to find a new way to the mountain. Kim then provided me with transportation to the mountain. It was a very great experience here.

Our niece was having their wedding in Roxbury on the mountain. We found most places to stay were booked. We booked The Black Bear Lodge. About 17 miles from the wedding venue. || When arrive was surprised to see a small motel’ish place. Wasn’t too sure about this. But met the owner “Kim” and went to the room. Was impressed of how clean it was. The beds were comfortable. Decora was old. It was kinda like spending the weekend at grandmas house. Kim had coffee and a breakfast snack for us in the morning. All in All a very nice weekend.

I don’t understand the bad reviews, like were you surprised when you showed up? Did you not look at the pictures? Sure the building is a little dated but the location and staff are fantastic. Free breakfast coffee and a freshly baked muffin each morning. Premium location near several awesome hiking trails, breweries, and ski resort. Maybe the Karen’s need to stick to the big city Hotels. Would gladly stay again 👍👍

I was hesitant when I first booked the room for a last minute ski trip with my son. The room(# 6) was plenty rustic and its age showed, but the room was immaculate and most importantly the bed was clean and the sheets felt like I was in a 4 star hotel. I love a firm mattress, but if you like sleeping on a marshmallow, you may not be a fan. No noisy neighbors over NJ school's winter break, perfect.

My friends and I recently rented two rooms for two nights. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. The beds were super comfortable. The inn keeper provided a quick grab and go breakfast of yummy locally baked goods and a piece of fruit. An assortment of instant oatmeal, water, and good coffee was also available. If you're looking for luxury this isn't your spot but if you want a clean, comfortable home base for hiking or other nearby activities, stay here. We will definitely be back!

This is a clean, simple, comfortable, quiet roadside motel that is very reasonably priced. It is on the same road that leads to Hunter Mountain, just a few minutes away. It is also the same road that leads into town, a couple miles away too, for markets, tavern, food, P.O., etc... We stayed as a motorcycle group and everyone was happy, got good rest, this was just the place we needed. The owner Kim could not have been nicer. And she is very accommodating, and helpful with questions, dining advice etc... This place would be great for skiing in winter, but also for a group of fishermen etc... as well, it's located in a good location for sure. And there is Schoharie Creek right behind the motel, just walk down the bank for a great spot to check out. The continental breakfast in the morning was very good, hot coffee, tea, fruit, fresh bagels and muffins... just what we needed before getting back in the saddle. The owner does a really great job! Will definitely stay here again when in the area.
