Got Engaged at Bear Mountain!

Bear Mountain Lodge

Hello, My boyfriend and I stayed at the Bear Mountain Lodge in September 2008 and got engaged after hiking up Mt. Monroe. We love log cabins and this was the ideal romantic setting for our get away. There was a cozy wood stove in the main sitting area, delicious home-made breakfasts every morning and the Moose Room we stayed in was so clean and inviting. It had a charming moose theme. I would recommend this lodge to any couple looking for peace and quiet. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The hosts also have some adorable dogs. We ended up getting married a couple months later and plan to return for more hiking and romance in the mountains. We will be sure to return to the Bear Mt. Lodge

Romantic Valentine's Weekend

Our Valentine's Weekend was spent at the Bear Mountain Lodge and snowboarding at a couple of the surrounding mountains, and Mike and Carol did an absolute amazing job helping to coordinate our stay and make sure it was as perfect as it could be. The breakfasts they made were excellent and creative recipes, nothing I could have thought up! Our midnight snowshoe tour around the property was a great experience and very intimate and personalized. We will definitely head back to the Bear Mountain Lodge for another wonderful romantic and relaxing weekend away! Thank you!

Dave and I can't say enough wonderful things about this place! From the 1st to the last phone call the consistancy of greatness continued. Thier attention to detail and attentiveness to thier guests speaks volumes above ALL other places we've stayed, and we LOVE to travel. We WILL be back and bring friends also. This is the quintessential paradise for outdoorsey couples. We haven't been so relaxed in forever. Honestly hated to leave them. Our elopement was what dreams are made of. Michael stepped up as a non-professional photographer and took pictures that are simply breathtaking/intimate/and polished. Friends keep saying, "there is no way that wasn't professionally done." We had a zero stress-related joining of our hearts and for that we are eteranally grateful and indebited to them. We are having a public ceremony on next years date, and the Kerivan family has been added to the guest list if that reflects anything regarding our stay. Lovely!!!

Awesome Place to Vacation

My girlfriend and I were looking for a nice, quiet, romantic place to spend the weekend. This turned out to be the perfect setting. Our host, Carol, was friendly, attentive and prepared wonderful breakfasts. The place was VERY clean and modern yet had a wonderful mountain country feel to it. It's not a question of "will we go back" but rather "when we will go back". I loved this place!

Great Place for Romantic Getaway

This was a great place for our romantic get away. This is the first B&B my wife have every tried and we found that it to be a great experience. Mike's greeting made us feel welcome and at home. The room was VERY clean, fire place very relaxing, and hot tub was great at night while it was snowing. There is much "creativity beauty" with the building. The breakfast was a "creative surprise" that my wife and I looked forward to our two mornings. Being married for almost 29 years it was nice to see my wife try something new "snow shoeing", getting happy, and looking forward to trying it again next year. It was also nice that we were able to see Mt Washington from the breakfast table.

The Lodge is gorgeous. The Turkey Suite was so romantic & perfect for our honeymoon. Mike and Carol are the sweetest and the beds are sooo comfy. Coming back each evening and being greeted by Mike, Carol, Rocket and Remi was like coming home. We will definitely be back.
