Black Bear Lodge is hands down the best place to stay in Waterville Valley. Not only are the rooms comfortable, quiet, and with the amenity of a full kitchen, the staff go out of their way to make you feel like you’re apart of their family. Arriving here feels like I’m arriving home and leaving is always hard. I have only had positive interactions with the staff, and they remember us and our names every time we go there! I will never stay anywhere else in the Valley. I can’t say enough about this place. You need to stay here!
