Whether you like to ski, hike, bike, swim, gamble, shop or just plain relax in the High Sierra sunshine, Black Bear Lodge is the perfect getaway.  Load up the car with all your toys and take the short drive to South Lake Tahoe. It’s about two hours from Sacramento, four hours from the California Coast or one hour from Reno, Nevada.  Heavenly Valley Ski Resort is a short 10 minute drive (or take the local bus), Hope Valley for cross country skiing 30 minutes, or shoot the moon and drive one hour to the world-famous Kirkwood Ski Resort.  Catch all the nightime excitement at the Stateline clubs about 15 minutes away or just curl up by the fireplace and enjoy the cozy ambiance of Black Bear.

Owners Janine and Jerry wish you a happy and fun experience in their world-class vacation paradise.
