We reserved a room in a Stone Cottage, last minute and for Saturday night of Mothers’ Day weekend, so accommodations were limited and expensive. Rooms at the Stone Cottages are supposed to be rustic and they are pleasantly so, but the cottages are more suited to groups than individuals. I say this because the cottages have a nice porch that... More

Lost reservation, keys worked sometimes, got an attitude checking in, heat controled by Inn, only 1 small fridge and microwave per 6 rooms. Can see through side of room door. Free wifi, but only in the lobby. Rooms are quarter mile from lobby and have to drive there. If this was a cubscout camp and the price was around $25... More

Thank you for your feedback. Please accept our utmost apologies as we did not meet your expectations. Our Stone Cottages most certainly are rustic, and for those who are looking for an authentic park setting they are ideal - however, we completely understand that this was not the type of stay you were looking for. I would love the opportunity... More

On Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012, I stayed at the Bear Mountain Inn in Bear Mountain, NY. Rooms are available at the Bear Mountain Inn, Overlook Lodge and Stone Cottages. I stayed at the Overlook Lodge, which is about one-quarter mile from the main inn. Note that room registration is at the lodge itself, not at the main inn. T o... More

We arrived and were a little confused on where to check in. The Overlook Lodge is right after you turn off the traffic circle. The staff was wonderfully helpful, not just at check in, but also when I had to make a change in the reservation in the weeks prior to our arrival. The cottages are really neat buildings, a... More

My wife and I embraced the awfulness of New Year's in New York City and fled to Bear Mountain State Park. We stayed at the Overlook lodge due to their taking pets. Aside from the comically expensive brunch buffet on New Year's day (nothing like coming to the realization that you just spent $32.50 on a bagel and some bacon),... More

For the price, you'd expect that there would be a plentiful variety of food. I'm not saying that the amount of food was below average; I'm comparing the amount to the pricing. We were surprised that our bill was over $100 for three people. I certainly had my fill of food and overall, it was delicious, but I did feel... More

Not a bad experience at all. Everything was very good, but the excellent thing about brunch was the endless champagne, coffee, and mimosas. Food was hotel like, but still good. The variety was tremendous, and there was also an omelet station available. Desserts were also good and plentiful. Service was attentive too, and when you sit by the window, there... More

We recently stayed at the Lodge. It was a little confusing making reservations because there is the Bear Mountain Inn and the Bear Mountain Lodge (as well as Stone Cottages). We stayed at the Lodge for one night. The building itself looks nothing like a Lodge and we had a little trouble finding it. After a full day of touring... More

Stayed here with our tour group of 34. We were the only ones there. It was a quite, peaceful break from 5 days in Manhattan. It is a lodge in the woods. Rooms were clean some with partial views of the lake and Hudson River. Two floors. No elevator. Our phone red message light kept blinking the whole time we... More
