We had a group of 15 gals all at once at the Black Bear Inn. Jeff and Kevin were excellent hosts. The grounds were immaculate as were the rooms. Very generous sized breakfasts were served with different place settings every day. Happy Hour was delicious with red and white wines, cheeses, crackers, and other hors d'oeuvres. Jeff and Kevin also... more

We will definitely be returning to the Black Bear Inn when we return to Tahoe. Very "luxury-rustic" and "lodge-y" feel. Tastefully decorated. We stayed in the Washoe Room (the most economical!) Only downside to this specific room is it is right behind the front desk, which makes it less private for a couple (at least during daytime hours). Next time,... more

We have stayed at the Black Bear Inn several times since discovering it in 2000. Each stay exceeds our expectations. The rooms (both the cabins and in the main lodge), the lodge, the food, the atmosphere all make your stay unforgettable. Your every need has been anticipated. Our most recent stay was to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We stayed in... more

We stayed at the Black Bear Inn for our five year anniversary. The Black Bear Inn is beautiful---the gardens are very lush and well kept while the cabin/lodging is very clean. The Inn is located just a few blocks from the Lake and is very convenient. Although it is just far enough from the lake to enjoy peace, quiet, and... more

We’ve traveled the globe, and this is our favorite B&B anywhere. Hosts Jerry and Kevin provide a luxury setting and make you feel right at home. Part of the charm of staying at a B&B is feeling like you are staying in a home instead of a hotel, and this one is stunning. Lots of wood, stone, and western antiques.... more

After reading other reviews this seemed like "THE" B and B to stay. The lodge it self is nice but it lacks personality, nothing really unique. Breakfast was truley wonderful and the presentation done well. The sheets were a little worn for wear and the decor just average. Owners, Kevin and Jerry were aloof, almost seemed as if they were... more

We just returned from a 2 day Valentines Day getaway to this Inn. We stay at B & B's in most of our travels and have to say this Inn ranks in the top 3. From its rustic feel to the atmosphere set by the owners. In my opinion it ranks right up there with the 7 Gables in Pacific... more

Excellent service, food, atmosphere. We had a corporate retreat for our CEO's and everyone enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend!! more

We had the distinct pleasure of staying at the Black Bear Inn in Tahoe in November of 2007, just prior to Thanksgiving. Our stay was delightful. The Innkeepers made us feel welcome and "at home", while ensuring our privacy and comfort. We enjoyed wine and cheese and the company of other guests in the late afternoons and sumptious, gourmet breakfasts... more
