Bear Mountain Lodge

We were doing circular tour of NM and this was our last stop. Next time it will be our first. Great hotel with lots of land for hiking or just gentle walks. Beautiful western building filled with art (most for sale). Breakfast is included and was great. They also serve dinner but you need to have a reservation. Silver City is also a great destination. We came from Surprise AZ and it was a nice 1/2 day drive through Globe.

Bear Mountain Lodge was perfection! The large rooms and comfortable beds made for a nice stay. The meals were amazing and I loved the local food sourcing. I enjoyed the on-property hiking trails and absolute quiet during my stay. I can’t wait to return!

Beautiful setting and grounds. The staff were helpful and gracious. I am recommending Bear Mountain Lodge to family and friends.

Beautifully furnished and maintained lodge on acres of woods, and trails. Our Cabesa de Vaca room was spacious with a comfortable bed, sitting area, large bathroom, and a balcony with a mountain view. We didn't miss the TV, but a mini-fridge and coffee maker would be a nice touch. Breakfasts were delicious, as was the one dinner we had. We would have had dinner there again, but the menu was limited and expensive. The 2 wood-burning fireplaces in the great room must be cosy in the winter. Good access to the wonders of the adjacent Gila National forest.

The lodge, located a few miles from Silver City NM, is sort of like “coming home.” It’s quiet and peaceful, filled to the brim with lovely art and comfortable and beautiful surroundings. The food is good too! I love the morning light slanting through the trees, viewed from the porch with a cup of coffee in hand.

We've stayed at BML several times over the past two years. Each time we've left planning our next visit. The serene and comfortable accommodations coupled with the superb service provided by the entire staff on each of our visits ensure our return.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Bear Mountain Lodge; our room was very comfortable, the furnishings were nice, linens were high quality and the room was spacious. We didn't miss having a TV but a mini-bar and a coffee maker would have improved our experience. Breakfast was nice and the servers were really pleasant. We didn't eat dinner at the lodge as the choices were very limited (only 2 entrees to choose from) but we wished we had, the food choices in Silver City were awful. We went to a new "French" restaurant that had good reviews online but it was the worst restaurant experience that any of us (four people) had ever had, truly terrible. Avoid "La Vie Est Un Bistro" at all costs. In fact the whole Silver City town experience was a let down. There are a few cute buildings downtown but over all - the town is a bit of a dump. No nice shops, no nice restaurants and all around a bit rough and grubby. Stay at Bear Mountain Lodge if you're going to be visiting the Gila Cliff Dwellings but stay on the premises in the evenings and don't bother with the town of Silver City.

Beautiful setting, quiet, serene, friendly staff, great breakfasts. A definite place to relax and feel comforted by the natural beauty and the attentive owners/staff. No TV which was great. Added to the sense of primitive beauty but still had strong Wi-fi signal. Room was very updated, comfortable, and perfect for my wife and I. We hope to return soon!

What a wonderful 3 days. This is first time we've stayed there and we will again. There is no television, no social events just relaxing, beautiful rooms in the middle of the forest. Each evening returning to our room we were greeted by 2 deer. The food was excellent as was the wine. Breakfast is served each morning and this is not a buffet but a beautifully prepared meal. I recommend this Lodge for a relaxing stay in the wilderness and a short drive from one of the largest Wilderness Areas in the US.
