THE LUXURY LODGE - SKI, RIDE, GOLF, BIKE, HIKE

Have you ever dreamed of stepping into a fairy tale? Come experience the magic of our log house, where fairy tale dreams come to life amid the beauty of nature! Perched on a hillside of the famous Hunter Mountain, just a short walk from the ski slopes in winter and mere steps from the lake in summer. With unlimited hiking options and top-notch golf courses just minutes away, our location truly has it all for those seeking adventure and relaxation or a memorable venue for reunions and gatherings.

After years of thoughtful renovations, this once rustic log house has transformed into a modern luxury cabin, ideal for large families and groups of friends. For added comfort, unwind in our luxurious hot tub or rejuvenate in the sauna after a day of exploring.

From May through October you can Swim, Fish and use the supplied Kayaks and a paddle boat at the private lake steps from the house. We're only 1 mile to Hunter Mountain Resort, 1 mile to town, 5 miles to Tannersville & 9 miles to Windham Mtn. 20 minutes to Saugerties and 30 to Woodstock. There are 3 gold courses within 20 minutes and a water park and many other activities within 30 minutes.

In the Winter skiing and snowboarding and tubing are only 3 minutes away at Hunter Mountain 1 mile directly up the road and Windham Mtn is only 15 minutes away.

*** For gatherings of 20 or more guests, you have the option to reserve two houses located just a few steps apart. Please check my other house - THE LAKEFRONT CHALET (https://www.vrbo.com/2036040)

Great house for large families
The property was great for our family of 15. Everyone had enough space. The kids enjoyed the bunk room and the games. Our only issue was there was dog hair on a large rug in the kitchen which was dealt with very quickly once the host received my message but it was also in the master bedroom. We had someone in our party who is highly allergic to dogs and the house is not pet friendly in the listing. All in all, great weekend away with the whole family.

A Wonderful Family Vacation
This house lived up to all our expectations! The amenities were amazing. The bathrooms & kitchen were well stocked. The living room had a working woodburning fireplace and downstairs had an indoor sauna and outdoor hot tub, all of which we enjoyed!!! There is a huge kitchen table for the whole group to sit together. There was plenty of sitting area on the couches in the living areas. The house was very comfortable & roomy for everyone! The communication with Nataliya was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!

Great vacation house~
Great weekend stay with a large group of friends 1 mile from the entrance of Hunter Mountain. The house was large and well appointed. Plenty of room for everyone! We especially loved the outdoor firepit--but the hot tub was a hit too. Lots of cozy spots to lounge too, both indoor and out. Close to some great hiking spots. Perfect fall weekend!

Great weekend getaway
Spent the past weekend with a large group (10 adults and 2 small children) and this house was perfect! Each couple was able to have their own space while also enjoying a great and open common area. House was very clean and had everything you could need including cooking materials, items for small children and linens. Highly recommend!

Wonderful home for our birthday celebration
The property was as described and presented - roomy, well appointed, clean, and close to town. Our group of 10, including our three grandchildren, had plenty of space. The lake access and equipment was a highlight! We hired a chef for my husband's birthday dinner and the kitchen setup, supplies, and grill were perfect for her preparation and serving. We had a couple of small issues during the stay and Nataliya responded right away and had her maintenance guy stop by. A lovely family vacation!

Apres-ski in style
The Black Bear Lodge has all the amenities you need to make your winter vacation a great experience. The layout of the house allows parents and children to relax in different areas of the house for adult time and children play time. This was my 2nd trip back. I highly recommend. Nataliya was a fantastic host.

The Big 60!
We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday with our children in this beautiful home nestled in a mountain side community at Hunter! Although the weather was warm and a bit rainy, we were close to beautiful hikes to waterfalls and restaurants in Tannersville. The home was beautifully furnished and there was plenty of room to spread out and have lots of game nights! The hot tub was also fun since it was covered and close to the house. I highly recommended this home for your next family getaway!

Perfect Property!
The house was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay for 5 couples. The property is exactly as listed on VRBO. Super clean with comfortable beds and a very well stocked kitchen. Beautiful view too. Nataliya was amazing - so responsive and extremely helpful. We really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and hot tub - especially with it having a roof as the weather was rainy. Great location - so close to Windham. The check in process was seamless. I imagine the house is very popular during ski season. We loved our stay at the Black Bear Lodge!
