The hotel itself is located in a quiet, beautiful place near all of the ski mountains. Kim was so friendly and went above and beyond. I had scheduled a pickup to go to Hunter Mountain and my ride never showed up. I had limited service, which made it hard to find a new way to the mountain. Kim then provided me with transportation to the mountain. It was a very great experience here.

So Friendly, Beautiful Area

We spent a week in the area to relax and take in some sights.  Room was nice, clean, bed was comfortable, fridge and microwave.  I'd stay again if I'm ever in the area.  Breakfast was a paper bag with a muffin or croissant and a piece of fruit, coffee or tea.  Very friendly owners, and a pretty cat, too.

nice place to stay

I am so pleased with Black Bear Lodge. I stayed there to ski at Windham.

The heat in the room was turned up so it was toasty when I arrived.

The room, #6, was very clean and homey.It's actually a pretty big room. There's a complete little kitchen! Including a gas stove, a microwave and mini fridge. 

I had several special requests and they were happy to oblige. 

I love the classic knotty pine panelling in the breakfast area.

Really enjoyed the fire they had going in the morning. So cozy to eat breakfast by the fire.

Black Bear Lodge is updated to have extra amenities but saved classic features and preserves the nostalgic charm. It makes me happy.

Cozy Place to Stay

Went with a group of friends for 2 nights as we were doing a fall motorcycle ride through the catskills. I highly recommend this motel for many reasons. I am a bit OCD and am sensitive to funky smells which were none. It was very clean, loved the hardwood floors, friendly owner Kim, FRESH continental breakfast, decent coffee, soft sheets and close proximity to Prattsville which had a supermarket. Daily room service was a nice touch. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!

Kim was a very good hostess. Easy checkin/out. The continental breakfast was good - bagels, toast, cereals, fruit, coffee, tea OJ. She let us bring our dog and that was the reason we picked the BB Lodge. The room was very neat and clean. About 15 minutes to windham and probably a little quicker to Hunter. No complaints! We would have liked a hot tub after a day of skiing...

stayed here during a trip to Windham

Our niece was having their wedding in Roxbury on the mountain. We found most places to stay were booked. We booked The Black Bear Lodge. About 17 miles from the wedding venue. 
 When arrive was surprised to see a small motel’ish place. Wasn’t too sure about this. But met the owner “Kim” and went to the room. Was impressed of how clean it was. The beds were comfortable. Decora was old. It was kinda like spending the weekend at grandmas house. Kim had coffee and a breakfast snack for us in the morning. All in All a very nice weekend.

Here for a wedding

Wasn't expecting much but needed a pet friendly place to stay. Pleasantly surprised; yes the room is a little outdated but super clean and comfortable. The owners were super nice and we met so many wonderful dog loving people staying there. If we are ever in the area again will be our to go to place. BTW found a wonderful dinner not far in Prattsville that had an outside dog friendly area . Service and food were excellent.

A Wonderful Stay

The bad: 
It looks a little run down but not in the most charming way. The sink has a lot of rust. Seems like a relatively inaffordable fix.
The room was a little dirty. I had to ask the owner to wash the microwave plate because there was caked on food. The floor was really dirty which I realized after spilling water.
These things wouldn’t bother me normally, but since we are living in Covid-19 times, it bothered me a little that they aren’t meticulous about cleaning and maintenance

The good:
Owners are very nice and accommodating. I arrived really late and the owners stayed up to greet me. She also made sure I had everything I needed.
They have a small continental breakfast to go (COVID-19) which consists of a banana, muffin, coffee/tea. Everything is laid out really neatly and there’s more than enough for all guests.
Location is good. I visited several sites in the Catskills and most were within 30 minutes of this motel.
It’s pet friendly! Which is the main reason I chose this place, along with the price. And there’s more than enough room in the back for my dog to run and get a little walk in.

Quaint hotel and affordable price

Last November during Hunting season everywhere I looked was booked. I was able to make a reservation here and the people were very helpful and friendly. The facility was clean and quaint. Not your typical roadside lodging but an enjoyable stay. A stream runs behind the place and there is a nice foot path down to it. Locals at the diner told me there is great fishing all up and down the stream. I stayed 2 nights, was able to use the internet and slept well. plenty of hot water. Overall was a good experience. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is that it is an older motel and the decor could be called a little dated. Still had a comfortable visit.

A place to lay my head.

We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Room was clean and comfortable, Mrs Kim was friendly and so ready to offer us recommendations of walks, restaurants, and activities, complete with map and all. It's in a great location about 10 minutes drive to the closest town and easy access to the main Kaaterskill attractions. P.S. bite the bullet and go ziplining - what an incredible experience!
