My stay at Black Bear Lodge was great. The room was comfortable and clean and contained everything I needed. The shower was great - no waiting for hot water! The location was quiet and convenient. The staff was helpful. Breakfast was perfect - coffee, tea, cereal, muffins, croissants, etc. Check in and out was simple. And the price I paid was very reasonable.
I hope to stay there again!

The property is pet friendly and situated among beautiful trees with a stream in the back if you climb down the embankment. Just gorgeous.

Black Bear Lodge is the perfect place to lay your head at night after a long day of hiking and outdoor adventures! The host was very kind as she provided light breakfast each morning (fruit, tea, coffee, muffins, croissants, bottled water), and checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well. I would definitely stay here again when I am in the area!

As a little motel close to a festival venue, the Black Bear Lodge was just what I was looking for. I was prepared for it to be small and basic and for the decor to be somewhat dated. What I found was a motel that was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The innkeeper was delightful. I would stay there again.

This is in a wonderful area of the Catskills with a creek streaming in the back if you wish to visit it. I've stayed a few times and I've seen many people take their dogs to Black Bear. They love the treed property for walks. It's close to farm stands or antiquing in the various towns along route 23.

Most of the hotels and inns around there require 2-nights stay, but not this property. Not over the top, just clean, comfortable, and cheap. 12min sway from the ski resort and restaurants.

This is a classic, retro roadside hotel high in the Catskill Mountains. Rustic and very simple but clean and cozy. Kim the hostess is charming. Beautiful surroundings. Convenient to skiing, hiking, fishing.

Picturesque location, very close to a road though.
Reasonably clean, bed is comfy. Would’ve given it 5 stars if they had 2 pillows per person.

The room was very clean and well appointed with a fridge and microwave. Great tv selections for watching tv at night. There's a beautiful stream in the back of the property and you can enjoy coffee, fruit or cereal out on the patio in front of your room. There's a short drive to Prattsville Diner and Jim's All American supermarket.

The creek was right behind the property. I liked the complimentary breakfast and coffee. The room was clean. The bathroom had a leaky faucet. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Great getaway
Black Bear lodge is a great getaway and excellent base to explore the area as it’s so central. We had excellent communication ahead of our check in, a real warm welcome and helpful with dining tips.
The room was spacious and comfortable.
The lodge is just off the main road but if we heard a car we didn’t notice, it’s so quiet around there.
The place is ideal if you’re looking to escape a few days, there was fresh coffee and pastries in the morning and loads of free parking.
thanks for your hospitality 👍

What a wonderful property. A stream and some hiking are in the back. It's clean and efficient with a fridge, microwave and flat screen tv with plenty of channels. Wifi is available to make calls or work on your laptop, but who wants to do that in this beautiful area. Close to skiing in Hunter/Tannersville area for the winter. An older property, but I love that.

Room was clean but the outside was old and dirty. Tv was located in corner behind the bed so you cant watch from bed. No comfortable chairs to sit in. We checked out a day early because of this

Not a luxary hotel but the couple that own it are kind and hospitable. Comfortable-Standard continental breakfast with muffins, cereal, coffee and croissants. You don't travel to upstate NY for the hotels.- the thick wonderful air, mountains, woods and critters make it all worth it.
