My experience at the Bear Mountain Lodge was quite the rollercoaster. The location is beautiful, nestled in a stunning park, and the brunch was absolutely fantastic with a wide variety of dishes. However, my room left much to be desired—especially the bathroom, which was way too cramped. If you're looking for a scenic getaway, this place has its highs and lows, but overall, it's worth a visit for that Sunday brunch alone.

The room we had was quite cramped, especially the bathroom, which was tiny and difficult to navigate. Despite that, it was clean and offered a partial view of the lake.

The service was satisfactory, but I had to clarify my breakfast options at check-in, which could have been handled better. However, the waitstaff during brunch was attentive and friendly.

The lodge is located in a breathtaking park setting, close to the mountains and with views of the nearby lake. Perfect for nature lovers!

Brunch was a highlight! The all-you-can-eat options were delicious and freshly made, making up for the less impressive room.

The lodge has a rustic charm, but some amenities like Wi-Fi access should be improved since we had to ask for the password.

During my stay, I found the Lodge to be a cozy and updated historic property with a wonderfully Adirondack-style room and a spacious bathroom. I appreciated the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. However, the absence of hot water in the shower and late opening hours for the cafe limited my breakfast options, which affected my overall experience.

The only dining option available for breakfast was the sit-down meal in the dining room, which was a bit inconvenient due to the late opening of the cafe.

The hotel is set in an idyllic location with beautiful scenery, but my stay was marred by several issues. The walls were extremely thin, making it hard to get a good night's sleep, and the Wi-Fi only worked in the common area. The lack of amenities and the shared fridge created an uncomfortable experience for the price I paid.

The rooms are part of a cottage with a common area, but I found the shared thermostat and bedding that felt damp quite inconvenient.

My stay was quite a mixed bag. The setting is seriously idyllic, but I found the experience subpar due to thin walls and a frustrating booking system. While I enjoyed the dining options and friendly staff, the room situation was a major letdown, along with limited amenities. Overall, it felt like the hotel could use some serious improvements to live up to its potential.

Rooms

The rooms were located in a separate cottage, which was not ideal. The first room we got had some cleanliness issues, and the second one had a bright EXIT sign disturbing the night.

The location is beautiful and feels remote, but it's a hassle to get around. There's no convenient shuttle service, making it tough to access the main lodge.

Our stay was quite a letdown despite the beautiful resort appearance. The rooms were far from ideal, especially with thin walls and a broken coffee maker. While dinner at the restaurant was excellent, the noise and cleanliness issues really took away from our experience. Additionally, the added fees for pets seem excessive now. Overall, it feels like they might be prioritizing profit over guest experience.

Rooms

The room we got was not at all what we expected; it had a terrible view of the parking lot, and the thin walls made it hard to enjoy any peace.
