Winter Evening

A beautiful winter evening in the Sierras

Named one of the top 10 B&Bs in California in 2004, Black Bear Inn is a new structure that was inspired by some of the West's great lodges. Black Bear Inn captures their majesty and rustic style on a more intimate scale by incorporating hand-hewn log trusses, natural stone and vaulted ceilings. The main lodge and three cabins that make up this retreat offer luxury accommodations in an intimate mountain setting on a wooded acre at the southern end of Lake Tahoe.

The Breakfast Room

Start your day in our breakfast room

Stay, and you'll discover why Black Bear Inn was chosen as the site of two television shows and several catalog shoots.

Enjoy a glass of wine while relaxing with friends before an enchanting river rock fireplace that stretches thirty-four feet to the ceiling. Outside, Tahoe's vast world of natural beauty awaits: exquisite granite peaks, lakes and forest land combine to create the perfect backdrop for golf, hiking, biking, swimming and horseback riding. In wintertime, ski one of Tahoe's world-class ski resorts, then return home and unwind in the sheltered hot tub while watching the snow quietly fall through the pines.

Rooms and Rates

Three Cabins

Three lovely cabins on the grounds

The main lodge has five generous guestrooms, all decorated in a style best summed up as Rustic Mountain Elegance. Each lodge room has a private bath, gas fireplace, king bed, TV/DVD/VCR and telephone. Each room is different: some have a balcony; some have a more formal look while others are more rustic in style. Rates range seasonally from $200 to $255 per night, including a full, hearty breakfast.

Three cabins sit out back among the trees. Each cabin has all the amenities of the lodge rooms but also includes a kitchenette so your breakfast can be delivered if you wish. The Bonanza Trail cabin is a duplex cabin that houses the Stagecoach and Black Bart rooms. Each room has a separate entrance and there is no adjoining door. These rooms are done in a more primitive style than the lodge rooms. The rate for each room is $275 per night.

The Snowshoe Thompson Cabin

The Snowshoe Thompson Cabin

The Snowshoe Thompson cabin is our luxury cabin. At 850 square feet, it is made for just two people. It has log beams in the bedroom and kitchenette ceilings, and the ceiling in the living room is vaulted. The three-sided fireplace can be seen from the bed and the living room. The Snowshoe has the largest bath at Black Bear, which includes a jacuzzi tub for two. The rate is $425 per night.

The Sequoia Room

The Sequoia Room

The Sutter is a two bedroom/one bath cabin measuring 900 square feet. This cabin has a homey appeal with a river rock fireplace and one wall done in barn wood. The rate is $450 per night.
