My husband and I spent a weekend at the Bear Mountain Lodge. The location was perfect for our needs, a short distance from both the state parks overlooking the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon and the town of Wellsboro. It is close enough to route 6 for easy access but far enough off the highway to be quiet and feel remote. We stayed in the spacious White Tail room, which was tastefully furnished with accents that fit the white tail theme. The huge bathroom had both a shower and jetted 2 person tub, with plenty of fluffy towels. Instead of a cooked breakfast, the in room refrigerator is stocked with water juice, gatorade and yogurt. A basket with fruit, baked goods and granola bars is provided .There a coffee maker with a selection of k cups in the room. Additional provisions are available in the common kitchen. There were a few hiccoughs in our stay. My husband attempted to change the channel on the tv using the remote near the TV. It was the "wrong " remote , which altered the input signal. After multiple attempts to restore the tv signal, we attempted to use our cell phone to call the innkeeper. No service. We then followed the instructions in the welcome packet to use the telephone in the great room to phone the innkeeper. We initially could not find the phone. Itwas hidden in plain sight in the gift shop area of the great room. The innkeeper graciously came and restored service as she was unable to talk us through the steps. It would have been helpful if the remotes would have been labelled TV and DVD or if they were universal. The other hiccough was the absence of soap and shampoo in the room. Fortunately I had packed a bar of soap just in case. Apparently the soap dish had been broken and so she had forgotten to leave the toiletries as they usually are put in the soap dish. She apologized and provided the items as soon as I mentioned it. We had a great time at Bear Mountain, we would stay there again and I have already recommended it to friends.

We stayed one night at Bear Mountain Lodge. This is a B&B house in the woods, with no sign (except an address sign) on the close by highway. They give you very detailed instructions on how to find it, before you arrive.
We were in the Bear room (room 4), which was a smallish room, but had a big bathroom, and a porch with a two person hot tub, and a nice view into the forest. There were bear decorations all over the place, and I joked that we should try and count them all.
The room had a queen bed, TV, A/C, a gas fireplace, 2 straight chairs, and a small table.
On the deck, there were 2 Adirondack chairs in addition to the two person hot tub, and some privacy curtains. We found out in the morning that there was a salt lick outside, but we didn't see any animals.
The large coffee maker in the bathroom had an extensive supply of one-cup choices. There was a small fridge in the bathroom, which had yogurt, juices, and other breakfast things in it.
You could use the full kitchen in the main part of the house. We got our ice there.
When you arrive, there is no one there to check you in, but there is an envelope with your name on it containing your room key and information for you. In addition, there is a satchel (for you to keep) with lots of brochures and other information in it.
You have to climb a big (wide) set of stairs from the parking lot, to enter the main part of the house. But they did say there was a ground level room, also.
The shower was tricky to operate, and only after trying to use it did I find the instructions for it nearby.
The power went out in the early evening, but after calling, someone arrived promptly to start the generator and restore power.
We would stay here again.

This was our second time at the Bear Mountain Lodge and it was just as good as the first time, 10 years ago. We stayed in the Wilderness Suite which was a perfect location during the current covid pandemic. The spacious suite has a separate entrance and a breakfast basket is provided so guests can minimize their interaction with other travelers. We loved the huge corner tub after a long day of hiking and biking and the separate sitting room with television and sofa bed offered extra space to relax after dinner. A few minutes drive brings you into the town of Wellsboro , a beautiful town with cute shops, historic buildings, and several restaurant choices. The Lodge is also within minutes of the PA Grand Canyon and numerous hikes as well as the Pine Creek Rail trail, a perfect spot for bike riding.

My husband and I recently stayed at Bear Mountain Lodge to bike on the Grand Canyon rail trail. The lodge was fantastic! We stayed in the Canyon Room and it was large, had a fireplace, bear motif, big bathroom, private deck with private hot tub. The no bake breakfast was tasty and plenty and they also stock your refrigerator with drinks and yogurt and some snacks. I love the little bag we got as a gift and the lodge was spotless. We never saw the other guests and only saw the manager briefly. They have taken care of every detail and I highly recommend it if you are biking, hiking or skiing near Wellsboro.

We stayed at Bear Mountain Lodge for our 40th Anniversary and we were so happy with our choice! We were in the Wilderness suite for two nights. The rooms are nicely decorated, welcoming and clean. The stocked mini-fridge and snacks were a perfect alternative to a “cooked breakfast” since we were having a private celebration! The jetted tub was welcome after some hiking in the nearby State Parks. Downtown Wellsboro is a short drive away and we enjoyed many meals, shops and just walking the quaint town. The hosts, Amanda and Sherri, helped my husband have wine and roses already in our suite when we arrived! Thank you Bear Mountain Lodge! We recommend it!

My husband and I stayed in the Canyon Room the night of September 8, 2022. From the moment we left Route 6 we were in awe. What makes the Bear Mountain Lodge so special is the eye to detail in every nock and cranny both inside and outside for your comfort and visual enjoyment. The primary entry to the main floor is a stairwell but there is also a gravel path leading to the main floor deck with only a few steps to climb. My husband appreciated this due to bad knees. The common room you enter is simply lovely with an extensive display of mountain/old time charm. Our room key was on the kitchen table with a welcome bag and we were greeted in our room with a birthday wish, mine, and a rose. Our room was stocked with a basket of muffins, fruit and other snacks and the room fridge had plenty of water and drinks plus cheese snacks and yogurt. In addition, there was plenty of extra snacks in the kitchen for our use, plus glasses and other dishware, if needed. The soft robes were a real treat after getting out of the hot tub on our private deck facing the forest. Our only regret was that it was only available for 1 night for we definitely would have stayed longer. (Last minute trip) I recommend making reservations as far in advance as you can. On our next trip we sure will.

I can't say enough great things about our stay!! There were so many personalized touches to our room that made us feel special. We especially loved that the fridge was restocked with drinks and snacks daily!
We stayed at Bear Meadows in the Wilds room and in our opinion it was the best room. Every night we had a hot tub view of the sunset.
A day after coming home we rebooked the same exact room for February!

First time staying with Bear Lodges, but certainly won't be our last. We stayed in The Wilds room, and everything about it exuded relaxation - from the amazingly comfortable bed to the beautiful fireplace to the private balcony and hot tub. It was the perfect place to come back to after long days of hiking and exploring the PA Grand Canyon. The muffins in the breakfast basket were delicious, and we appreciated having a nice selection of other (healthier) snacks and drinks, too.

This is a beautiful, perfectly maintained B&B lodge experience. They provide a no cook breakfast with yogurt, juice, water, & Gatorade in the room refrigerator and muffins & treats in a basket in your room. The lodge accommodates 4 couples with the 4th room a suite. It is located 6 miles outside Wellsboro & it is easy to get to town. We stayed here while checking out the Grand Canyon of PA. This is a fabulous small lodge where every attention to detail is noted. Several rooms have hot tubs on the deck. We stayed in room 2, “Bear.” It is the smallest room but has a gorgeous shower in the bath & a large deck with a wonderful hot tub. Sherri, our Hostess, was warm, friendly and available; she keeps the lodge in excellent shape. We plan to return for more relaxation and exploration of the area. I am not a fan usually of B&B’s, but this experience has changed my opinion. Our party was 2 couples and we all loved it.

If you are looking for a true weekend getaway, this is it. We stayed in the Headwaters Room, which was welcoming, clean, safe, and had a breathtaking view. The bed was just right, and there were so many thoughtful details from the stocked refrigerator, to warm robes, it is like coming to the comfort of home. I loved the private hot tub - deep relaxation made it easy to forget about work and daily responsibilities. A true escape from it all. Be ready to turn off cell phone notifications and find peace. The gorgeous mountain fields, trees, and wildlife give a magical atmosphere you will just want to soak in and relax.

I am not aware of any real hiking trails accessible right at the Lodge. However there are excellent state parks and forests within a short, scenic drive. The area is beautiful.
The Lodge itself is very romantic, a short drive from town, maybe 8 minutes or so. We were in the Wilderness Suite with a large soaker tub, love long bubble baths. I suffer from a debilitating heart issue and therefore hiking was out of the question for me as well, but there is a scenic tour of the Canyon using your own car, we pulled over and enjoyed most of the vistas with easy access. Fall foliage was at its peak so we took an afternoon train ride to view the changing leaves. Main Street was great for people watching, we ordered lunch from the Red Skillet (food truck) which was excellent, had a seat under the shade of a tree and relaxed. The diner was fun for breakfast, great local vibe. We purchased pumpkins and fruits/veggies from a local farmer to bring home to Pittsburgh. There is a local cheesery, but it was closed when we tried to visit, they were in the middle of building a cheese cave. Just a few things I recall off the top of my head, we visited in October '15. Enjoy!!
