We had a great stay in one of the stone cottage. This was a good starting point for hiking in bear mountain as well as shopping at the outlet. We stayed for two nights over the winter holidays. Only disappointment was that while the common area in the cottage has a cozy fire place, seating in front of the fire was limited to two armchairs and every single time we came back from our outings, they were already taken :(

Beautiful to stay in one of the Stone Cottages in the snow. It was restorative and lovely, as well as being clean and comfortable. The first night of our stay it was quite chilly in the room, and the internet WiFi was down. But the rest of the time during our stay was just fine. The inn and dining are wonderful, historic, with a lot of charm.

I didn’t realize the stay was in one of the stone cottages and not the Inn itself. My fault for not reading the specifics later in the itinerary. They only show the beautiful main lodge in all the photos with the booking so the impression is that is where you stay. The room itself was fine. Very tiny bathroom, but it works. It was a difficult nights sleep as there was a room next to us with a dog that barked every time the heat kicked on. Needless to say that was at regular intervals. All in all, a nice place to stay.

First off, I didn’t realize I had reserved a cottage (my fault for not reading the fine print) and we ended up in a very small cottage room that shared a common area with a large fireplace. It sounds quaint but it’s really kind of awkward as you can hear everyone in the surrounding rooms and you become the first thing they see when they come out. The only way I’d recommend renting one of these on purpose is if you had your whole family occupy the cottage. Other than that, it’s exactly what you would think a cottage built in the 30’s would be like including the smell. Didn’t necessarily smell bad, just old. The clerk that checked us in was fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly.

Staying at the Beaver \"Stone Cottage\" (a 3 min drive away from the main hotel) has been my worst experience at a hotel yet. The walls are paper thin, and when people slam or close their room door, you hear as if you are in the same room. My neighbors decided to stay up late into the night, far after 1am, and I heard every laugh and comment, every door closing, despite putting in ear buds.
In addition, there was not a strong enough signal on the internet, that was supposed to be available, so I could never connect to the internet, as it was non existent.
When I talked to the front desk, the clerk was unhelpful and wouldn't offer a complimentary breakfast or discount on any fututre stays. I was surprised at her callousness towards my night, which didn't help at all. There should be a warning on the website that if you expect to get a good nights rest, the customer will not receive one. I'm sure in the main hotel, my experience would have been quite different. In my opinion, this \"hotel' was more akin to the lowest quality \"motel\" you could seek to stay at. I never complain, so this review shows how bad this stay was.

This is my 2nd time staying here. I love it. Although last night while I was sleeping I heard some noise coming from the floor where I had my bag. I remember I had a closed bag of chips. I heard lots of noise coming from my bag bookbag. And when I woke up. I see the new bag of chips had a whole where a rodent tried to get into the bag. A little disappointed.

The room was fine. Check-in was a tad confusing because I thought I booked the Overlook Lodge and instead booked the stone cottages which are a part of it. You check in at the main inn. All of this was in notes in the email, but not straightforward to me.

- There were lots of quirks that made it less than ideal. The room was barely heated. When I called the front desk to find out how to turn it up, they said that it was centrally located for the building. They did offer to turn it up.
- There is an emergency door located in the room which has a keypad on the outside. It wasn’t a problem, but I did inquire if anyone could use it to get in. They said only management. There is also an emergency sign with a light that illuminates the room at night.
- The bathroom door swings in (because of access to the emergency door) resulting in limited access to the sink. You either have to shut the door and squeeze between the door and sink to use it or reach over the toilet to access it. The tub does not drain quickly and space is restricted here as well.

The hot water in the shower is very strong. And the bed was comfortable. A log is provided if you want to use the cottage community fireplace.

The check in was very confusing. Our email said to go to 55 Hesien Road to check in, but when we got there we actually had to go to the main inn.Why couldn’t there be someone at the Overlook to check us in? How expensive could that be?)And even at the main inn, I was a little unclear which door to go in for check in. It was late, I was tired. The staff (guy at the desk at the inn) was super helpful and friendly though. So that was excellent.
The shower in our room was not hot. Luke warm at best. I’d say uncomfortably cool. We were next to a room with kids. The walls were thin (or maybe because we had an adjoining room) but they woke us up early just by being kids.
The room was clean though. And beds were comfortable. I didn’t think I was rating the whole stay when I gave two stars. I thought I was rating the check in experience. Overall experience would be 4 stars.

Originally, we were in the Lodge. We were told that it was a 10-15 minute walk from the Inn which is the main building not only for rooms but the restaurant and lounge area. What they failed to say was that the walk between the Inn and the Lodge is not only up-and-down hilly but takes around 15-20 minutes to walk. There is a car service of which we availed ourselves. We also switched into the Inn the next day when a beautiful room opened up. It had two rooms — a living room with a sofa and lounge chairs, a gigantic TV screen on the wall and a hutch with a refrigerator. The bedroom had two double beds and an entry to the bathroom. We were more than satisfied! This “little apartment” made our stay!

It’s a little confusing figuring out where to park when checking in. And the small details are off. I’ve stayed here before so I know there are inconsistencies between rooms. You can see where when they painted the walls, and instead of pulling the bed away from the wall, they just painted around the headboard and behind the headboard is a different color. Overall it’s not bad, but it’s not great either

A cute bear themed hotel

Overall our 2 nights stay at the hotel was good! It’s clean and comfortable. The lake was nice.

The bear mt inn has multiple buildings around the lake. We got a room on 2Fl at the overlook lodge which was a bit far from the main building with no elevator. We didn’t bring a car so we had to walk back and forth multiple times a day. It takes 20min at least to walk and the restaurant and cafe at the main building closes at 3pm, 7pm Mon-Tues.

Don’t forget to bring cash for the pool($5/person) and renting a boat($50+).
