The cabin was so adorable and cozy, it was perfect for a little getaway, I wish I would have extended my stay. We’re definitely talking about coming back up to Tahoe soon and staying at the black bear lodge again!

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.

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!

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!

Staff was outstanding: friendly, helpful, professional in every way.
Room was large and comfortable. View was lovely. Cleanliness was fine. We requested that our linens be changed and that was done speedily and with no hassle.
Can't say enough good things about the staff!
