Bear Mountain Inn

I recently stayed at Bear Mountain Inn and overall, it was a comfortable and relaxing experience. The location within the state park is beautiful and serene—perfect for a nature getaway. The room was clean and cozy, and the historic charm of the property added to the appeal. However, I was disappointed by the lack of transparency around their advertised 15% direct booking discount. I booked directly through their website expecting the discount, as prominently publicized, but it was never applied. When I inquired, staff seemed confused and simply said the system wasn’t accepting it. There was no further explanation or resolution offered. A clearer policy and better communication from the front desk would have made the experience much smoother. Still, it’s a lovely spot for a weekend retreat—just double-check your booking details if you’re expecting promotional offers.

There is nothing appealing about this place. Nature is wiped out by cones, barriers, cars and people

I would come back again. The restaurant could improve their menu's and/or prices. The stay overall was great.

We stayed in the cottages and it was perfect. Cozy room, beautiful scenery, and not too far to drive to go into nearby towns.

so disappointed! Expensive for old furniture, damp rugs/bedding and no elevator in building! Amenities like pool, museum and zoo might be great not easy to find nor get too. If you have health issues or young children avoid at all cost! long hike!

Large clean room, quiet location, unfortunately the park itself is dirty from the day trippers BBQ’s. Although the hike up the tower was excellent.
