As soon as we arrived, beautiful scenic setting.. pretty busy but given a nice fall weekend. Parking and check in was a bit of a pain, lots of confusion and misdirection. We were there for a festival which we were under the impression was on premise given the name, but it was NOT. Secondly our cottage stay was very misleading given the pictures. There’s rooms in the cottage which you share with others. That became a pain given that the other people staying kept putting the heat at 90!!! Our room had no hot water for 2 days, our toilet clogged..it was so upsetting. The restaurant menu 1915 was mediocre, but Mike the Bartender was awesome!

It’s a beautiful scenic national park so not much else can be said, it’s a sight to behold! My only issue was with how the restaurant/deli? worked, The service was slow, the staff was not really friendly, spending more time on their phones, than servicing customers.

Room was very clean, the bed comfortable. Had everything you need. But the huge let down is noise. If people in other rooms are having a conversation at normal volume you can basically hear every word, and also all the doors have a slow-close mechanism(?) that makes a loud noise each time they shut. Basically you are only getting to sleep when the last person quiets down and wake up when the first person gets up. And if someone uses a door the while you are asleep the noise will definitely wake you up. It is a shame because other than that it is a fantastic place to stay.

Great setting in a state park. The Overlook Lodge was a bit shabby. We were able to move to the Inn, which had much better rooms. The sanitizing products they use in the rooms smell awful and are overpowering. I would not stay here again for that reason.

Hair dryer in room did not work. Called lobby for a replacement and it never showed up (but 45 minutes later did bump into cleaning staff that did then get us one). Refrigerator in room never got cold. Had early bird dinner in restaurant dining at 4:30pm Friday. Came back at 7:30pm for coffee and dessert. Were told had to have that in the bar. Bar was not very nice, was overcrowded, and very noisy. Only one table free, but surrounded by standing people. Dining room only had a few tables occupied. Were still told that we had to have coffee and dessert in the bar. We ended up going elsewhere.

The Lodge at Bear Mountain
We loved the ambience and rustic cabin decor. There were no ADA accommodations in this room. Because of our age and illness we’d ask for an ADA room next time. Beautiful drives north and south. We went to the FDR home and Vanderbilt mansion, a little shopping in the area and a t’shirt or two from the Lodge shop, of course. Great diners in the area, too.

The lodge was far away from the Inn, which is not convenient for a hiker. The tv did not work and the building was tired.

Come for the setting not the room
As you would expect given the nature of Overlook Lodge, the room was not up to modern standards. It was tiny and did not have a desk. The bathroom was very small with no place for toiletries. The walls were thin and you could hear people come and go outside. But the scenery and setting are gorgeous. So if you are willing to put up with the inconvenience and not have to spend any extra time in the room it is worth it. The 1915 Restaurant in the main hotel, a very pleasant half mile walk from the Overlook Lodge, was excellent.

Didn’t like not having food onsite. Coffee maker didn’t work. Room was humid and somewhat smelled. Not enough towels. At the Inn the brunch was WAY too costly. That is crazy. For that amount you should have been given alcoholic drinks, Bloody Mary’s, mimosa’s etc.
