    I have a secret... It has to do with the Black Bear Inn in Tahoe and it is just too good not to tell the world. This place is seriously wonderful. Words cannot even begin to express how perfect this little B&B was over this past weekend. Just to summarize, here is everything you need to know prior to booking this place: 1.)The experience was easy. Pulled up, gave us keys, paid up front, walked us to our room and showed us everything we needed to know about the grounds and the relaxing begins. 2.) Family owned and extremely accommodating overall. 3.) Wine and Cheese, plus breakfast were perfect. Not your standard eggs and bacon (eggs Benedict anyone?), however the simple stuff was available for those not interested in fancy fair. 4.) Smack dab in the center of the entrance to Heavenly, Casinos, restaurants, and a grocery store which contains a Blockbuster rental post. 5.) Hot tub, robes, and the dinner we had by Chef Alex made this weekend the perfect blend of wilderness and a little bit of luxury. Thank you Team Black Bear Inn for making our stay completely worth every penny spent!

    We stayed in the Sutter cabin for 5 nights. We were shocked that there are no bureaus in the bedrooms for your clothes! Then they seemed annoyed when we asked for more hangers. The beds were overly soft and lumpy. The "kitchenette" that they speak of is a microwave/fridge and coffeemaker - no cook top or oven. So much for having Christmas Dinner in our own little cabin!! The fridge had not been completely cleaned out from previous guest. The "free wi-fi that blankets the entire property" does not! We were counting on the free wi-fi to Skype with our relatives in New Zealand and Ireland on Christmas Day. That screwed things up for us. The breakfast arrived on time each morning and was outstanding. We would have had a dinner at the Inn during our stay but their prices were too high. The cabin is attractive with it's woodwork and stone fireplace but they have gone a bit overboard with non-functioning "antique" bric-a-brac cluttering every surface. It was a nice place but too many details that fell flat.

    Wonderful place to stay in Tahoe

    We stayed at the Black Bear Inn for a couple of days, and it was a wonderful alternative to staying at one of the casinos. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful, we drove in and it took longer than expected so Lisa stayed late to accommodate us. The cabin was cozy and warm, the tub was heavenly, and the location was convenient. We will definitely stay again.
