For $360/night this was a disappointment. Very few amenities. Most amenities are not available beyond 7pm. Pretty lackluster grounds. The interior courtyard looks very much like a kid’s summer camp. The TV offers no film channels- just basic cable. It actually stopped working on the 2nd night. If you try to stream, the buffering is so slow you just give up. Housekeeping didn’t come by all weekend. Definitely would not go back. It was clean, the bed was great. Not the worst experience but way too expensive for what you get. Can’t comment on the staff; I met one young woman at check in and she was very nice. But the lobby was not a place I’d want to hang out in; there’s no bar or hang out area. Kinda sucked.

The over all stay was decent and staff was “invisible” in a good way. Available if needed but not underfoot. We were far enough off the main highway that it was very quiet. Lots of trees and shade.
The thing that destroyed our stay was the fact that there are NO CHAIRS or a couch. Nothing to sit on with any back support. We resorted to bringing in our lawn chairs we were using on the beach. There was no table of any kind either. They had two small bookcase type stands and two backless barstools. Extremely uncomfortable!!
Another item to mention was the water pressure in the shower was minimal. Not a deal breaker but an annoyance.

Mention all the above to the staff upon checkout and was told that they have had numerous complaints along the same line. And they have reported it all to the owner and they say that they are on the list of things that the owner is “planning” to fix.

We had a fantastic stay at Black Bear Lodge. The lodge is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning wooden interior that gives it a real mountain lodge feel. It was incredibly peaceful and the perfect place to relax and unwind. The location was ideal too, tucked away in a quiet setting but only a short drive from local shops, restaurants and other amenities. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Excellent hotel with a location that is off the highway in a quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. Easy parking and driving to nearby attractions. Stayed in the duplex cabin, which was very spacious for a long, Memorial Day weekend; great kitchen, sitting area, and fireplace. Hot tub is ok. Hotel is very comfortable; lots of decorative touches. Will definitely stay again. (Our neighbors in the adjoining part of the duplex were noisy. Please don't invite them back!!)

Black Bear Lodge was such a nice surprise! The rooms and decor are tasteful and very comfortable, and the true test is the quality linens and towels and extra pillows without asking. The grounds show personal touches like flower beds, raised planters, terraced areas with multiple seating options, and best of all is the total peace and quiet. You are close to South Shore if that is your thing, and skiing at Heavenly in winter is right up the road—you can see Gun Barrel from your room. The staff are kind, helpful to an excess, and super friendly—they truly make you feel welcome and valued. We did not want to leave, but will be back for certain.

This is a nice place to stay within walking distance of the harbor and restaurants. There was construction going on with jackhammers starting at 8:00am on this property and the one next to it. We went down to use the hot tub and there was a notice that said the jets were not working. We decided to try to sit in the hot tub anyway, and it was not being heated. We went to the front desk to let them know, and they seemed very surprised. When the maintenance person let us know, it was finally fixed, he said that it shuts off every other day or so, and they don’t know why. The

It was a little strange that the housekeeper did not clean the room during the day or make the beds and we had to collect our trash, get our towels outside and ask for refills on things we used. And then the housekeeper wanted a tip.

This hotel was very nice except for the fitted sheet. Our expectations were not necessarily a high thread count, but we do expect for the sheet to stay over the corners. The elastic was very flimsy.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. Everything went as smoothly as possible, and we really enjoyed our room! The fireplace was amazing to have. The lady who checked us in was so sweet. They had great recommendations printed out for food and activities and cookies as a gift at check in. Several places to eat were walkable and delicious. We even were able to walk to heavenly village- about a 30 min walk. We were mainly in town to ski so being right down the road was so convenient and there’s a pickup spot for the shuttle right out front. This is our 3rd time in Tahoe, first time staying here and we will definitely be rebooking when we come back again. Get the room with the microwave/mini fridge/sink- it’s like a little kitchenette and has dishes, silverware, a kettle with teas, etc. just wonderful little details for guests. It was also super clean and we were able to request linens each day by leaving a card on our door if needed. OH- and one of my favorite things was there was a box fan in the closet in the room. Such a simple thing but I NEED the noise when I sleep so having this instead of using my sound machine was awesome! Thank you!

Very nice property with local ambience. I’m from Chicago, and when I travel I look for local ambience, and location, location, location. This property had both, with very nice employees.

Such a super place to stay - clean, quiet, with great staff and surrounded by trees. It's a little oasis away from the buzz of town. Easily walkable to the lake and town.

Perfectly Peaceful

My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. It was peaceful and relaxing, exactly what we needed. The weather was perfect for sitting out on the patio and there was plenty of room for both of us to stretch out and enjoy the amenities in our suite.

This property is very peaceful and we could appreciate having our own space with no one coming into the cabin unless we asked for assistance. Very private

The wine and beer options for happy hour were amazing!
It felt like you were in the woods away from all the chaos but only a 5 minute drive from the Main Street.
Our room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable!

I can’t say just how fantastic our experience was. It felt like we were honored guests in someone’s private mountain lodge. The lobby was an incredible place to enjoy a glass of wine or even a flight of wine from the bar. And the charming back courtyard leading to the private cabins was the definition of an idyllic mountain tableau. The staff not only thought of everything, but were happy and excited to share in your excitement about Tahoe. The location was excellent. Walking distance to restaurants and the pier. The room with its own fireplace made it a joy to cozy up at night after a day of adventures. Absolutely WILL be back. We can’t wait!

Spacious room, comfortable king bed

We loved our room (room 5, king bed). It was extremely spacious and decorated with a cool mountain vibe. The bed was comfortable, with a nice feathertop mattress topper. And the outdoor hot tub was exactly what we wanted after a day of hiking. (Along with the warm robes in the rooms that you can wear back from the hot tub.) We really enjoyed it.
My only complaints are minor and could be easily remedied: because our room was in the main lodge (upstairs of check-in), it got somewhat noisy in the morning; the only coffee available in both the room and in the lobby was \"brew in bag\" teabags of coffee, which were not great; the bathroom could use some more hooks for towels and clothes; there is a smoke alarm high on the ceiling that flashes with a bright white light every 10 sec or so which is irritating when trying to sleep; although there were 4 pillows, only 1 was soft-- we would have liked a selection of some firmer, some softer. All of these are very minor issues, so I hope they resolve them. Regardless, we had a very enjoyable stay, and really enjoyed the spaciousness and style of the room.

Lodge in Tahoe

We loved staying here! Unfortunately we had a last minute change to our stay but Dana was able to accommodate us and made sure we were taken care of. The room was spacious and we appreciated the tea and coffee service. Super comfortable bed after a long road trip. Very convenient to the Whole Foods and area restaurants. Incredibly quiet room. Would definitely stay here again!

The property was very cute and comfortable. Easily accessible parking and in and out to rooms. The beds were very comfortable. We had a suite and enjoyed the extra living room area with kitchenette and half bath. The only bad thing, but this is typical for Tahoe, no AC. But with the fans and sliding door open with screen at night, the temperature was ok to sleep.
