We had a great stay at the Black Bear Inn. The inn is beautiful, the innkeepers are friendly and attentive, breakfasts are delicious. The daily wine and cheese hour is a nice touch. I highly recommend it and would love to return.

After reading all the positive reviews on Trip Advisor and an article in the Sacramento Magazine recommending it as an romantic getaway, I booked it for the ever important, once in a lifetime, honeymoon stay. We stayed in the Black Bear private cabin. It had a rustic decor appropriate for Lake Tahoe. The bathroom had a very spacious shower and... More

I have stayed here twice and recently attended a wedding here. Beautiful setting. The rooms are all upscale "rustic". The lake is just a walk away but this place takes you away from the general crowds and noise. Peaceful. The Innkeepers are attentive to every detail. The breakfast is 5 star.

This is one of the most charming B&B's in the country. The Innkeepers, Jerry & Kevin are certainly among the most personable hosts in the business and their attention to detail is extraordinary. Breakfasts are varied and delicious, either in room or in the beautiful, high ceiling, log cabin style dining room next to the main lobby fireplace and lounge... More

Nothing short of wonderful. Friendly and helpful innkeepers, great cabins and scrumptious breakfasts. Stay in one of the private cabins--it is well worth it. This place made our honeymoon extra special.

This is a superb bed and breakfast which is a delightful retreat from the general crowds and chaos of South Lake Tahoe. There are several lodge rooms and three or four cottages. We again stayed in the same cottage we did several years ago and it was as enjoyable and peaceful now as it was then. The grounds are beautiful... More

We spent some time at the lake and rented a huge suite at the Black Bear Inn which was a short drive from the lake. Amazing guest house.

My wife and I decided to stay at this great place for our honeymoon week and it definitely lived up to all the very positive reviews. It was the tail end of the ski season and was not crowded at all. Because of this, Jerry gave us the option of an upgrade to a cabin from one of the lodge... More

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
