We stayed here after reading the great reviews of the inn. From the exterior, it's just a house on a pretty average block, so the location isn't anything all that special. But when you enter, the place does have a great Alpine feel, wiht beautiful deco and a nice ambiance to it. I liked being inside, though the room wasn't... more

We loved every minute of our mini-trip due to great snow on a beautiful mountain and super comfortable accommodations at this Inn at the bottom of Ski Run Blvd. We had seen... more

Haven't been to many B&B's, but, I believe this one is pretty great. If you are looking to "chill" out and enjoy time with your wife, you can do it here. The breakfast and wine was awesome. We enjoyed our cabin. The hot tub was a plus and relaxing after a day at the slopes. People always find things wrong... more

My wife & I just returned from our 3rd stay at the Black Bear Inn in Lake Tahoe & we are both having serious withdrawals! We travel frequently to a variety of places, but have yet to find a place that we enjoy as much as the Black Bear Inn. It is a peaceful retreat in the middle of amazing... more

We stayed at the Black Bear Inn in late August / early September, and it was amazing. The room (actually a small cabin) was spacious and comfortable, with great amenities and interesting furnishings and fixtures. The landscaping is impeccable. The hosts were very gracious and accommodating, and went out of their way to make our stay as perfect as possible.... more

We had such a wonderful time at the Black Bear Inn. Each breakfast was a piece of art and tasted delicious. Got the cookbook! We were there for the first snow of the season and it was so inviting to sit in front of the fire in the lodge and enjoy the ambiance. Will go back, definitely! more

We had the most restful and relaxing getaway. The Black Bear Inn was so welcoming. Every staff person was friendly and took great care of us. The breakfasts were fabulous. We enjoyed a beautiful room in a lovely atmosphere. The other guests were great fun to talk with during wine and cheese time. It was total rest and relaxation. more
