Very nice landscaping around the rooms. Beds were comfortable.
The listing on booking.com showed that the room we booked had an in-room hot tub, however no rooms at the property have hot tubs. I was told by the very helpful manager that this was an error created by “AI” on the website, which was a very unique excuse for an incorrect listing. They eventually offered some soda drinks and chocolates to offset the lack of a hot tub. This was kind but I expected a refund for a fraudulent listing, none was offered. Beware at this place no hot tub in any rooms regardless of the web site description.

We were in the family suit and it was huge! It took almost the whole second floor above the former hotel lobby (now it’s a storage space). The design, the style, the cleanliness was great!
There are about 43 drawers and cabinets and you need to open all of them to find kitchen utensils. Some big items like frying pans, lids, pots were missing in those 43 cabinets. Fortunately, the staff was helpful and brought the missing items to us. The oven temperature is super low. We couldn’t cook even a bacon on its highest temperature level. So the oven is useless. There is no dinning table or regular chairs. You either need to climb a bar chair every time or sit on the couch when eating. It’s super inconvenient. The central heating was great but it took us about 3 nights to tune it (a big learning curve)

We had a fantastic stay at Black Bear Lodge. The location is excellent—tucked away in a stunning forest setting that feels peaceful and secluded, yet still close to everything Lake Tahoe has to offer. The rooms were a great size with a modern, stylish interior that still captured the rustic charm you'd expect in Tahoe. The added touch of bathrobes was much appreciated after a day out exploring. The reception area is particularly beautiful, with authentic stone features that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Special mention to Bree at reception—her customer service was excellent and made us feel truly looked after. Free parking is another big plus, and the overall experience was top-notch. We highly recommend Black Bear Lodge and would definitely stay again!

The staff was very nice on check-in and the room was very clean. The location was great and the grounds were really beautiful. The balcony on the room overlooked the courtyard and was really pleasant to sit out on in the evening.
Unfortunately, we visited during a rare heat wave and our room wasn't air conditioned - which I should have noticed when I booked, so that's not the property's fault. The floor fan that was in the room was incredibly noisy and kept falling over. We would have loved to try the wine bar, but although we were told it was open until 8 every night, the night we tried to go at about 7:15, it was already closed.

The space was so beautiful and calming. All of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful! Did not want to leave and will come back when we are in tahoe. They gave us a list of local places to check out and we used it every day, so helpful. Loved coming back in the evening and having a glass of wine by the fire. And reading outside under the trees. The hot tub was also very nice after skiing and hiking!
The only suggestion would be to have blankets people could borrow for sitting outside or in the rooms by the fire. It would add to the coziness!

It was a great place to stay. The room was spacious with great interior design and comfy bed, and great view. There were complimentary teas and coffee, free parking, hot tub, nice reception area. Perfect location: 10 min walking to Lake Tahoe/ 2 min drive. It's super close to Heavenly. Lots of restaurants nearby and the grocery store is like 5 min by walking.
Everything was great, nothing to complain about. Some suggestions/several things that could be improved: 1. Internet speed 2. Add complimentary water 3. Add a full size mirror. 4. Put newer TV

Way more beautiful than the pictures show, large wooden interior, high ceilings, clean rooms, super friendly staff. Tons of amenities: fire place, balcony deck, toiletries, extra towels, slippers and robes for the hot tub, silverware/plates, comfy bed, easy to operate shower, oil diffuser, large trash can, hot tub, comfortable bed, free complimentary drink at the wine bar, games in the lobby, the list goes on. Check in was quick and easy. Can’t say one thing bad about the place. Booking our next stay ASAP.

The property was incredibly cozy and beautifully maintained. The cabin-style decor gave it a warm, rustic feel that was perfect for a mountain getaway. The location was quiet and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to restaurants and attractions in South Lake Tahoe. It was quiet, a calm hotel. I recommend it for relaxation. Very cool hot tube. The nature is very beautiful. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable.
I like everything

Our accommodation I would say was a bit of luxury. Individually and tastefully designed room, kitchen and bathroom with all the essentials you need for a short stay. Just fits perfectly in the beautiful surroundings. We also had very much appreciated upgrade and enjoyed the hot tub too. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend to stay in Black Bear Lodge if you’re visiting this wonderful place - Lake Tahoe 😊

We had a wonderful time during our stay in Black Bear Lodge. It made our first time visiting Lake Tahoe memorable. The staff were friendly and super helpful. Our suit was clean, spacious and cozy. The kitchen was fully equipped which is great if you want to stay in and cook a nice meal. We also enjoyed the hot top in the crisp October weather. The property is located in a walking distance to many restaurants/cafes as well as the lake and downtown. Black Bear Lodge is where we will stay next time we are in Tahoe.
