I have, two times (two different suites, one rented through Airbnb and the other through Black Bear directly).
The rooms have a great view of the valley and ski areas. Each suite has a fireplace, which is a nice feature. Each suite is different, especially in terms of the mini kitchen set up, so I would definitely look carefully at the details/pictures of the exact suite you’re thinking of staying at before booking. Both of the suites I booked were clean and well maintained.
My experience with both of the suites I’ve stayed in has been positive, with one major downside: the water pressure of the tub/shower is weak. I think this is an issue all suites in the inn have. I’m not sure if the other houses in the Black Bear community also have this same issue. I’m a bit picky so the weak water pressure does bother me. If you’re okay with weak water pressure then I would recommend the suites at the inn at Black Bear Resort. Otherwise, Black Bear Resort seems to be well run and I would recommend booking a suite or a standalone house/cabin there for a stay.
Hope this helps!
Hope you’ll have a good time!
If you’ve never been there before, just wanted to warn you that the main road entering Black Bear Resort is very steep when you enter and exit from Route 32. I would be cautious if entering the resort at night. Exiting the resort from Resort Dr (even without snow) we usually had to put the car into 4wd to get the vehicle over the last part of the Resort Drive and back onto Route 32. I think there might be a “back way” in and out of Black Bear on Courtland Road that avoids the steep incline but am not 100% certain. Once onto Resort Drive from Route 32 you should be fine in any car, it’s just the very short bit at the entrance and exit that is super steep.
Good tip! Thank you.

Cortland Rd. is pretty steep but you can also get into Blackbear by taking the road next to Deerfield.
