Black Bear Lodge

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.

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 👍👍

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.

If you're looking for a "Bate's" motel experience, look no further! Walking into the room felt like taking a trip in the "way back machine" to 1973. The rooms, while relatively clean, are in DESPERATE need of an update. Cob webs in the corners. They do provide full size bottles of shampoo and conditioner, however, our shampoo bottle was almost empty and filled with some water. The beds were extremely soft and not that comfortable. And whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to raise the blinds! Ours fell right off! The room smelled a bit funky, like it was locked up since 1972. Owner was nice though, even packs you a brown bag breakfast with a muffin and a banana.

Black bear lodge was a great experience. For the price, the location and the accommodations were perfect. The room was very affordable and close to the mountain, everything was very clean and the staff at check in was very pleasant. We stayed in room 2 and the room was bigger than expected since we were expecting a standard motel room size. The beds were comfortable and smelled clean (even the comforter seemed clean which is very rare especially for motels). There was a little area by the front door in the room for your skis/snowboard and ski gear. The room had a microwave and a mini fridge as well as a kitchen table for two! If you are looking for an affordable trip the Catskills/Hunter mountain this is great spot to stay!

We had a last minute emergency and the owners went above and beyond to help us. Room was clean. Sheets and beds were comfortable. Coffee and simple breakfast was a nice touch. Would absolutely return.

Kim was a very good hostess. Easy checkin/out. The continental breakfast was good - bagels, toast, cereals, fruit, coffee, tea OJ. She let us bring our dog and that was the reason we picked the BB Lodge. The room was very neat and clean. About 15 minutes to windham and probably a little quicker to Hunter. No complaints! We would have liked a hot tub after a day of skiing...

We found this quaint lodge by accident and couldn't be happier! The room was so clean, warm & cozy and I can't get over how soft the bedsheets were 😍 everything was perfect for a last minute booking. There's a river in the back of the property and you can hear it running when you open the windows. You're truly immersed in nature. It was absolutely beautiful. I truly loved it! Kim was such a gracious host and we can't wait to stay there 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.
