"This is our 2nd stay and have truly enjoyed each. The staff are super helpful and accommodating. Will, the manager is a true gentleman. During our 1st visit the resort lost power and he even went out to get our food delivery. We will always come back to BMI when in town."

"Ate at the restaurant for the tea lunch it was the 3rd one I've done. The scones were excellent, finger sandwiches okay, dessert not that great. We also ordered the quiche to share that was excellent. Our waitress was great and was the only one working as it was lunch time she did a great job.!"

"What a wonderful place to enjoy the fall foliage. The Inn is woodsy and majestic. There's a stunning lake with a mountain backdrop. The restaurant at the inn serves up a tasty dinner and the gift shop has many fine souvenirs to choose from. Loved my stay at the Bear Mountain Inn."

"The main inn itself is pretty nice. Cafe, gift shop, rooftop bar, restaurant and spa. The cafe was okay, basically expensive cafeteria food but got the job done. The 1915 restaurant was much nicer. The spa was the best part, everyone was so professional and kind and the massages were incredible. Overall it’s a pretty cool place, however the booking failed to explain the difference between the stone cottages vs other areas. We booked a stone cottage thinking we’d have..."

"We stayed in the Overlook Lodge because it was pet friendly. The grounds are beautiful and there are many hiking options. The walkway all around Hessian Lake was wonderful and the Zoo was fun. We had a great stay with our Golden Retriever although $60 a day is a bit steep. We would definitely stay here again though!"
