Decent +-
Pros:

The room was big and had nice view to the patio which was in a forest vibe overseeing the mountain.

Cons:

Very expensive, considering there is no room service. Saying they want us to have privacy and that's why they don't clean the room is unacceptable. Give me the option to choose like in other places if I want that kind of level of privacy. Also, didn't had pool which I didn't realize when booking the place. I would have never ordered it if I had realized that.

Nice cozy hotel
Pros:

The location was nice and quiet. The room was comfortable.

Cons:

There is one small “shareable” mini fridge if you stay in the main property, it would be nice to have one in the room. Felt like the staff wasn’t really available at the front desk early in the morning or late in the evening but it’s not a big deal. Overall good experience and would recommend.

This is our third time staying at Black Bear. It has been wonderful in the past initially, but in recent years, the serv
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It was extremely warm the weekend we were there, and there is no air conditioning at all. Inside our room, it was 84° on the second floor and outside. It was 72°. Extremely uncomfortable, one guest left and went to get a hotel room with air-conditioning.

Pros:

Luxury Worth Every Penny!Black Bear Lodge is an absolute masterpiece. It might feel a bit expensive when you first book it, but the moment you step inside the room, you completely understand why. The quality is unmatched—from the curated selection of premium furniture and high-end cutlery to the top-tier coffee and tea sachets offered. The ambiance both inside the room and around the entire property is incredibly peaceful and stunning. It is worth every single dollar for a truly luxury experience!

Exceeded all expectations!!
Pros:

This is the cutest lodge. My husband and I loved it. It’s so nice and cozy. They have a hot tub and a bar area that does happy hour. The rooms have fridges, microwaves, sinks, coffee, tea, dishes etc. The bathrooms have body wash, shampoo and conditioner. They also had robes hanging in the closet that me and my husband both liked. The place gives such a cozy environment. All the staff were friendly even the guests we met there. The location is fantastic close to so much. It’s maybe 4- 5 mins from Heavenly Village. Lake Tahoe is about 0.5 mile (10–15 minutes on foot) from the lodge, with access to beaches and lakeside recreation. El Dorado Beach and the Ski Run Marina are like 5 mins from the lodge. The grounds are so cute with plenty places to lounge or enjoy the outside weather. All in all this place is exceptional and my husband and I will be returning soon!
