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.

The motel is very cute & had a mini kitchen. River running through the back yard. Easy to find. Free breakfast. We had a great stay & will definitely visit again!

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

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.

Your typical motel. Small room but doable. The clerk was very nice and pleasant. She had breakfast ready in the morning, muffin and fruit, in a brown paper bag for us to pick up at the office. Had coffee for guests. Towels were very nice, they were not your usual sandpaper towels, they were heavy and plush. The only bad thing was there was no outlet in the bathroom.

Great place to lay your head
Low budget but comfortable and clean and thats what matters...the rooms are exactly as pictured but the ground are not...the creek is quite a walk down through the woods (but worth the trip) no firepit with seating. Breakfast was coffee and a muffin but that was fine. Owner was lovely and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Black bear lodge was a great experience. For the price, the location and the accommodations were perfect. The room was very affordable and close to the mountain, everything was very clean and the staff at check in was very pleasant. We stayed in room 2 and the room was bigger than expected since we were expecting a standard motel room size. The beds were comfortable and smelled clean (even the comforter seemed clean which is very rare especially for motels). There was a little area by the front door in the room for your skis/snowboard and ski gear. The room had a microwave and a mini fridge as well as a kitchen table for two! If you are looking for an affordable trip the Catskills/Hunter mountain this is great spot to stay!

I love that this is one of those old-fashioned motels with real keys to the room. It's in a quiet property. You can go around back to sit or eat outdoors. It's very picturesque at a more-than-reasonable price.

I liked the chairs and table in the room as well as the ceiling fan. Comfortable beds. I didn't like the toilet - too low, or the sink - too low and a very short faucet.

Owner called us to check on arrival time and stayed up late to greet us. Very nice when we arrived. Immaculate, spotless room, despite somewhat worn facility. Nice breakfast available to bring to our room. Delicious muffin! Breathtaking scenery right behind motel on the river. Room equipped with everything we needed, including kitchenette. Will definitely stay again.

Enjoyed sitting around small fire in the evening and listening to the nearby creek as I fell asleep and woke. Small, simple, clean, accommodations. Friendly and helpful staff.

Clean and cozy room. The staff was great. There was no coffee in the room, but Kim gave me my own coffee maker, coffee, cream and sugar. It was very cold so an electric heater was provided which kept me toasty warm. Bed was comfy. The water pressure was lame. A fresh coat of paint would make a big difference and window blinds were worn and dusty. However, all in all it was a very nice stay. Great value for the money. I will stay again.

I liked that the location is peaceful and full of trees. The night sky view from the back of the property is amazing. You never get to see that view anywhere near a lit up town or city.
