The Black Bear Lodge 61 Middle Ridge Road, Stratton, VT 05155

"i never write reviews, but this place was so loud at night that i had to. it sounded like the incredible hulk was jumping up and down above me. i thought the kool aid man was gonna burst through the wall. i had to put headphones on just to try to sleep, and even then i could hear through the headphones."

"Walls super thin, floors even thinner. If you want a good nights rest, literally go anywhere else. Someone walking to the bathroom in the room above you sounds like a 1000 elephants stampeding on your skull. I can hear the TVs from the rooms on both sides of me. Is the effin circus in town?"

"We have been staying here for 3 years for annal ski trip in March. It is a charming place, a bit worn, musty woodsy smell in a good way. The hot tub is great after a full day of skiing. The breakfast is EXCELLENT! Hot, good variety, fresh fruit. We stay mid week for about $150 a night after taxes and fees BOOK IT! It is well worth it! My son's favorite thing is tubing and sledding behind the lodge!! Be sure to bring a tube or sled and a shovel to build a nice jump!"

"The lodge is really old and desperately need updates. We stayed 2 night on thanksgiving weekend and they put us in the basement. The window is facing the parking lot and I’m not even sure if people can see through the shade. Room was musky and damp. We can’t even turn on the bathroom air after shower because it made such loud noises that could wake the whole floor up. Breakfast is most terrible comparing other 3 star labeled lodging. They don’t even have milk or cream for coffee. People going there only because it’s 5 min walk to skiing and they run a convenient shuttle all day long without wait."

"Great hotel close to Stratton. The rooms are nice, the beds are comfortable, the free breakfast is very good and the front counter staff were very friendly with great attitudes. The shuttle service to and from Stratton is outstanding. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes to get a shuttle to or from the mountain. The drivers are very courteous and have a lot of insight on the area, just ask them. Make sure you tip them!!"
