Bear Brook Valley is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Sussex County, NJ. Located ~ 60 miles W of NYC, & about 30 miles E of the Poconos. We have 2 hotel blocks available at the Holiday Inn Newton & at the Courtyard Rockaway / Mt Arlington for a 2 night stay, Saturday April 12th - Monday April 14th.
If you plan on staying in the area Friday night, we recommend booking a separate 1 night reservation & staying in the Netcong/Rockaway region. Both of our hotel block locations currently do not have Friday night availability.

Roundtrip shuttles will be provided between the hotel block locations and the wedding venue.
There are additional hotels & Airbnb options in the area, however, you will need to provide your own transportation to the wedding.
Valet Parking will also be provided at the wedding venue.
