Bear Mountain Lodge

Another great stay at the warm and friendly Bear Mountain Lodge. Don't miss the outstanding breakfast with a friendly staff. Bacon wrapped dates are the best. Comfortable room in a great location at the base of Bear Mountain and still convenient to town.

We hadn’t been to Silver City to stay at Bear Mountain Lodge for several years but nothing had changed. Same great place to stay, same great people, good food and a lovely environment. One small change is that there are more bones in the One Million Bones project which commemorates genocide victims worldwide. It is a moving experience to go through the area on the Old Windmill Trail on the Lodge property. That and more great art as Linda and her crew continue to make this a special place to visit and unwind.

Friendly staff! Appreciated the coffee delivery at 7am; breakfast starts at 8. We reported a plumbing problem one morning, and they fixed it before we finished the very tasty breakfast. Our room was in a fourplex near the main building. It has a beautiful common area that invites conversation with other travelers. The main building’s common areas are less attractive, with some outstanding art spoiled by proximity to just the awfullest kitsch. All of it for sale, at prices so high the owners should be embarrassed. Ask about the Mongolian gur, interesting story.

Buyer Beware!! Horrible customer service!!! Selfish, Smug, Dismissive, Inconsiderate, Unaccommodating, Greedy I contacted Bear Mountain Lodge to cancel our reservations immediately after I suffered a near fatal car accident on Labor Day at least a week prior to our arrival. I was told by someone over the phone that I would be given a refund due to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the abrupt cancellation. I never received the $539 refund on my credit card. I called to ask for my money back and was told they had a strict policy on cancellations and instead of giving me my money back they tried to offer a Gift Certificate or donation to a Charity!!! Unbelievable and unacceptable customer service!!! If this is how New Mexico treats tourists, patrons and clients in the hotel industry, I would highly suggest making alternative reservations!! I have traveled all over the world and have never experienced the dismissive, smug, and arrogant attitude from a hotel owner surrounding a reimbursement of funds. This hotel/lodge basically stole our hard earned money and did nothing to earn it. We are super upset and will never book a reservation at this hotel. Buyer beware!!!

This place is a gem. The setting, a small compound of buildings anchored by the historic lodge on an expansive parcel of land just outside downtown Silver City, is lovely. There is a lot to like: the panoramic views, thoughtfully appointed rooms, onsite dining (by reservation), extensive artwork (most for sale), onsite hiking trails, and peacefulness. I wish that I had stayed longer. I can't wait to go back!

The lodge has a very welcoming, comfortable feeling. The rooms are spacious and the views panoramic. The dining room is charming and the breakfasts are creative and delicious. The staff is quite friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.
