Bear Mountain Inn

Hudson Valley


Built in 1915, this comfortable park lodge has accommodations in the original stone-and-timber Adirondack-style inn (overlooking Hessian Lake at the base of Bear Mountain), in the more modern Overlook Lodge, and in four separate large stone cottages each with six guestrooms.
