    Absolutely excellent

    January 05, 2013

    Excellent service: the owners and staff are friendly, helpful, easy-going, hospitable; the breakfasts are OUTSTANDING - we were there on New Years Day and they did a special white table cloth, mimosas, etc. but every morning was special and absolutely delicious. Each room had it's own fireplace so you could regulate your own heat; rooms are homey and comfortable; the Inn is beautifully designed, rustic and elegant. We'll definitely go back.

    Sweet way to enjoy South Lake Tahoe

    January 02, 2013

    We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay at The Black Bear Inn this Christmas. Jerry, Kevin and Paul were excellent hosts, and the food was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the wine tasting in the afternoons, meeting several of the quests and sharing stories of skiing the slopes at Heavenly or finding a great place for dinner. Overall, a great experience. Steve and Dawn

    Wonderful Stay at the Black Bear Inn

    December 31, 2012

    My husband and I stayed at the Black Bear in for a wonderful 4 nights at the end of December. The cabins were beautiful and all had their own fireplaces - which were really nice during the snow storms. Kevin and Jerry really go all out with their Ralph Lauren and Western decorating style in each of the cabins and around the entire site. The hot tub and robes were fantastic and therapeutic in the cold weather after a day of Skiing and so was the wine and cheese each night before we went out for dinner. Kevin and Jerry cooked the best and most unique breakfasts each morning. The food was first class! The table was also set differently each morning. Very cute! Some other Perks: The B&B is in a very convenient location to great restaurants and the Heavenly ski resort. Parking is free, unlike many of the other hotels in the area. The B&B had DVD players in the rooms and an extensive DVD collection that you borrow from.

    Our Fall stay in Tahoe

    October 28, 2012

    The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was cozy and rustic. We especially liked the bathroom, with extra-large shower. The fireplace in the room was romantic, and the spa was rejuvenating. The bird life in the trees on the grounds was spectacular. We even identified a new species. We would love to see a hammock added for the seasons it would be appropriate for.

    Loved It!

    October 26, 2012

    We had a wonderful two day stay here and would highly recommend it. Our room was beautiful, and we loved having our own fireplace. Jerry and Kevin were very friendly, and made us feel right at home. We loved the wine and cheese every evening, and the breakfasts were fabulous.
