Bear Mountain Lodge in the heart of Silver City is the perfect hiding place.

On the edge of Gila Forest, you'll find this enchanted and secluded getaway.

The lodge we know and love today has gone through quite the changes throughout the decades.

Since 1910, the lodge has had many owners. It's been a cattle ranch, a school for unruly children, a country club, and ultimately became the resort that it is today.

Despite its many owners, one of the owners who held the title longest was Myra McCormick, and her husband Fred.

After her husband passed, Myra, being the bird lover she was, donated the property to the Nature Conservatory, with the condition that they would continue to operate the lodge for at least 10 years.

This beautiful lodge has quite the history, and this past has made it the incredible destination it is today.

Now, Bear Mountain Lodge is an exquisite hidden gem on the edge of one of New Mexico's most beautiful forests.

The lodge is truly a work of art in itself, with hand-carved beams, immaculate fireplaces, all surrounded by 178 acres of secluded beauty.

There are no TVs at Bear Mountain Lodge, so you can truly escape from life and relax in an enchanted atmosphere.

Bear Mountain Lodge is truly a getaway that's unforgettably peaceful and beautiful. With a rich history unlike any other, there's no other lodge like Bear Mountain.

Bear Mountain Lodge is located at 60 Bear Mountain Ranch Rd., Silver City, NM.
