The Bear Lodge is a great place to stay if you are looking to explore the Catskills area, as it is very close to multiple trails, grocery stores, and little shops! The cabin is situated in a very friendly and quiet neighbourhood, and we even had the surprise luck of getting to watch some adorable whitetail does and their fawns from the back deck of the cabin. The cabin has a very comfortable, laid-out floor plan and is neatly decorated with bear decor. There were three of us on our trip, and we very much appreciated having the two bathrooms and also the multiple fans we could use for warmer days since the cabin does not have AC. We enjoyed using the grill on the back deck and having a TV so we could watch the Stanley Cup Finals. ;)We really appreciated Matt and his quick responses to any of our questions and messages. Very grateful that we could stay here during our time in New York.
