Have you ever dreamed of staying in a beautiful elegantly rustic lodge in the woods, where deer roam freely, art fills the interior and exterior and a world of gracious living and hospitality await you and your furry family members?

Bear Mountain Lodge is this and more. Nary a styrofoam cup or plastic utensil in this luxurious respite on 178 secluded acres, where guest comfort and esthetic touches are in the details.

Enjoy a delicious European style breakfast tailored to your diet concerns or restrictions and served in the attractive art enhanced dining room with panoramic scenic view. The fresh mountain air amped my appetite and the hearty portions were appreciated: a freshly prepared and flavorful egg, potato and cheese frittata with bacon strips, fresh fruit cup, juice, yogurt and homemade granola.

Rooms begin at $160 and Include free parking, full European style breakfast, WIFI (no TV) and extensive walking trails.

Co-owner Linda (her super friendly standard poodles are Lodge mascots) combined her art gallery—formerly located in downtown Silver City, with the Lodge. Rooms are attractively and comfortably furnished with handcrafted oversized wood furniture, wood beam ceilings and hickory wood flooring, Company Store 100% cotton bedding and goose down feather pillows. 

The spacious,updated bathrooms feature luxury bath amenities: Bear Mountain herbal bath grains and Aveda products.

The downside? We were only able to stay one night.
