We chose where to stay on Lake Tahoe solely on the basis of other reviews and we were not disappointed. The Black Bear Inn is simply the best accomodation in the area by far! Our room, Fallen Leaf, was very well appointed and immaculately clean. The restaurant and lounge were beautiful and had a great atmosphere. We loved cheese and... More

We came back to Lake Tahoe where we were married 25 yes ago and we stayed at the Black Bear Inn. It was our first time at a bed and breakfast and I'm afraid nothing will ever compare to the BBI. This place was amazing! The grounds were just beautiful, the Inn was breathtaking, the staff was friendly and very... More

My husband and I stayed two nights at the Black Bear Inn in Lake Tahoe. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely young woman named Elise. She knew who I was and made us feel immediatly welcome. She was very helpful through our entire stay with suggestions for eating and hiking. She seems to love her job. We... More

My wife and I stayed at the BBI for four nights in mid July. After reading so many good reviews on TA we had pretty high expectations - some were met while others fell short. For the most part this inn and property is beautiful and worth the rates they charge, but we found the owners to appear stressed out... More

We could not have been more pleased with our July 15th stay at the Black Bear Inn. The Inn is simply drop dead gorgeous. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently presented as friendly, genuinely warm, respectful, and willing to accommodate our every wish. The picturesque grounds were found to be carefully sculpted and manicured. The rooms were clean, quiet, inviting... More

On a weekend ski trip to Tahoe we happened upon this B&B and enquired with staff reqarding availability for the same evening and we were promptly given a tour of the rooms and grounds. We chose a room instead of a cabin only to find out it had just been booked by another group being shown the grounds at the... More

Had such a lovely time in South Lake Tahoe June 24 - 26. My partner & I were truly blown away by the experience: the rooms, common area, courtyard, etc. are all tastefully decorated & imbued with charm & character; certainly reflect the owner's taste & personal touch. The staff is definitely very attentive to our every need. We got... More

We spent a weekend at the Black Bear Inn in June. Everything was perfect throughout the weekend! The inn was just the right size for our group of 18 and the inn was an excellent haven from California's late-winter weather! The breakfasts were wonderful, the service was terrific, the wine and cheese party was just right, and the dinner (ah,... More

We arrived at the Black Bear Inn in April. Naive and totally our issue! We wanted to see the mountains and it was neither the ski season nor the summer!!!! Our hosts wrote the week before saying they wouldn't be there. No problem and no issue!!! Kimberley and Alex rent the restaurant and stood in as hosts. They really couldn't... More
