The room was great. Bathroom could use a fan and safer shower, ie grab bar and grippy floor. Room was comfy and clean with a mini fridge and Keurig coffee machine. A safe in the closet would also be helpful.

Needs renovations
Surroundings are beautiful, cottages in desperate need of renovation. Trash around the property. No hot water. Room was tiny, not even a chair in the room. Bathroom was minuscule. Old, tired property

The Bear Mountain Inn, the Cottages and the Overlook Lodge are all beautiful. However, Bear Mountain State Park right next to Hessian Lake is absolutely filthy. People barbecue and picnic and they leave a terrible mess. Another issue when we were there was a very loud wedding party in our building. The party did not run late by adult standards for a weekend night, but we have young children and early bedtimes, so we think we should have been informed about the party in advance . That way, we could have chosen a different building, if available, or a different weekend. In our view, the main draw to this area is the natural beauty. We enjoyed hiking in the forest, and the views of the mountains and the Hudson River very much.

It was a beautiful, peaceful, serene stay. The check-in process was slightly confusing (had to check in at the main property then drive over to the Overlook to our room) but once that was figured out, everything was great.

We stayed at the Overlook part of the property. We had a 1-night stay so did not get to take advantage of many amenities on the property. Very nice, large room. The in-room refrigerator was a welcome surprise. The Bathroom was stocked with a shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel dispenser. The beds were doubles, so a little tight for the three of us, but nice. Extra blankets in the closet were appreciated. The window in the room opened, which was nice in the morning. The shower steamed up the room a bit so there is not enough exhaust in the bathroom. The check-in process is a little confusing in that you drive to the main lodge then go back up to your building, but the separate buildings help with keeping noise down. Nice access for the trails, which are pretty technical but there are some nice paved walking paths on the property. The Hikers Cafe was great at breakfast for our group. Get there early for a shorter wait if you are getting a hot meal since it is cooked to order.
