Quiet getaway
This was our second stay with Black Bear lodge. We really enjoy it. It is so quiet and relaxing. We usually end up taking an afternoon nap with the fireplace on or making a cup of tea and reading on the patio or by the fireplace under the stairs. Staff is helpful and friendly and was able to get us a 10% discount to Riva Grill! Recommend this place!
The staff at Black Bear Lodge went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. We will definitely be back the next time we're in South Lake Tahoe!

Amazing location & perfect for our anniversary!
It’s too cold outside to be THIS cozy inside! My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary over NYE in room 2. It was lovely and we hope to come back!
The hot tub was great, and the bus stop to the slopes is RIGHT outside. It’s honestly the perfect location. Walking distance to the lake and great food (highly recommended the sushi happy hour around the corner), only 1 bus stop away from California lodge ski Lyft, and free parking. There was a fireplace in the room, we had access to a fridge and microwave, and there is a bar inside the lobby! They have a ton of games and an awesome DVD collection. Best hotel we’ve honestly stayed in. Also everyone was super nice and helpful!
The only thing that could have made the stay better was if there was another mirror in our room and if the WiFi was faster.

Nice place to stay. The Rubicon room was perfect(included a microwave, fridge/freezer and sink). Housekeeping as needed. Quiet, no issues. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and casinos. Would definitely book again if in the area.

Truly amazing staff. Called me to let me know a snow storm had hit, and wanted to keep me updated. Found out it was my birthday and surprised me. Just easy things that made me feel valued. You can tell they genuinely cared about their customers.
