Perfect hotel for a getaway weekend. Super nice staff, nice beer and wine bar in the lobby, and a toasty hot tub. 10/10 recommend.
I highly recommend Black Bear Lodge for a romantic getaway. We were greeted with friendly staff, clean adorable cabin, easy parking. Before arriving I did make several calls to ask questions & every time I received excellent customer service. Thank you!
We spent two nights at Black Bear in February and it was fantastic. They have recently acquired a neighboring property, which we stayed in. Tastefully done. Great service. We will be back!
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!
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.
