Fodor's Expert Review Black Bear Lodge

Built in the 1990s with meticulous attention to detail, this entire complex feels like a grand old Adirondack lodge, with rooms and kitchenette-equipped cabins that feature 19th-century American antiques, fine art, and fireplaces. Its great room has rough-hewn beams, plank floors, cathedral ceilings, Persian rugs, and even an elk's head over the giant river-rock fireplace. One spacious cabin is especially good for families or other groups.
