  • Date of stay: July 2022

    To stay at Bear Mountain Lodge is to enhance the Silver City/Gila forest area experience to a new level unattainable anywhere else. The rooms are a marvelous balance between rustic, comfortable, modern, and well appointed. It is a few miles from town on the edge of the forest. It is nestled among grazing land, juniper and piñon pines. It is full of regional art, giving it additional sophistication. And yet, the staff could not be more friendly, giving guests a taste of the local spirit of the people of Southwestern New Mexico. Breakfasts are great and not to be missed. Lunch and dinner is available by ordering in advance. I could go on about the place but I'll leave it by saying there is no better place to stay in Silver City. It's well worth the price I pay and I will always return, as long as there is room available. It is small.

    Lovely, quiet location, comfortable and well appointed room, excellent service, delicious full breakfast each morning, coffee and tea all day along with wonderful homemade cookies. We also added on dinner one evening, which was exceptional. We had butternut squash enchiladas and the only thing I regret was not asking for half of it to go. Very large portion and so good, I’d try to come back when it rotates back on the menu. Added plus are the 2 horses outside that love to be fed carrots…just ask for some at the kitchen.

    If there were 6 stars, I'd give 'em. Or 7. Quaint, historic, interesting interior decoration, lots of art, people are welcoming, the rooms are very western and rustic-get the Cabeza de Vaca if you can, upstairs with a private balcony. Best of all, the food is world-class-really. Unique dishes, varied menu day by day, everything home made, servers are knowledgeable and friendly, and the restaurant setup and decor is very enjoyable, again, lots of artwork. Can you tell that we liked the place or what....

    Bear Mountain Lodge is accessible to sweet Silver City but private and wonderfully quiet. The facilities are homey and the Lodge showcases many local artists with works for sale. The breakfasts were outstanding and the staff provided great service.

    Enchanting bed and breakfast in the cools pines outside of Silver City, NM. Extremely friendly staff. So much attention to all the little details. From the bathroom amenities including lip balm. The electric wine bottle opener on the morning coffee bar. The beautiful art work scattered throughout the property inside and out. The fabulous breakfast.


    This bed and breakfast is a unique find. Don’t expect TV’s in the room. But if your looking a quite, mountain retreat, this is a treasure.
