Bear House’s outdoor amenities are what truly set it apart. The private hot tub is perfect after a hike, a ski day, or simply a long week. The seasonal pool is ideal for warm Catskills afternoons, whether you’re floating, swimming, or relaxing poolside. The scenic pond provides peaceful views year-round for morning coffee, sunset reflections, or quiet moments by the water.
