Escape to Tahoe Now!

Lake Tahoe CA

It’s almost shoulder season (the time when most tourists don’t visit) and there’s still some activity at the ski resorts. Emerald Bay’s (pictured) trail to it’s pristine shoreline will soon be open. Nearby Pope and Kiva beaches you’ll have practically to yourself.  Wilflowers will be popping up and you’ll thank yourself you took the opportunity to get away.

Hope you didn’t have to cancel your trip to countries hit by the corona virus but if you did, you’ll find Tahoe a pretty good alternative.

Better start looking at your calendar, ours is filling up.  Reserve now:

Rates are low, mountain experiences high.

Don’t let Tahoe in August pass you by

bblaketahoe

The clarity of the lake will astound you, the outdoor options endless, and as most folks know, it’s prime time right now. It never gets too hot here, in summer it’s just right, and the romantic rustle of the pines let you know you are in the High Sierra.

We like to swim at Kiva Beach, about 15 minutes from the Black Bear. Our two favorite kayaking spots are Emerald Bay, about an hour paddle and Sand Harbor, more of a drive but if you get there early…..fairytale….where all the promo shots of the Lake are always taken.

Then there’s the Lake Tahoe for hikers.  Desolation Wildnerness is just up the road and the Tahoe Rim Trail is a half hour away. Bike trails are ten minutes away and we like the ride to Richardson’s Bay.  Yes, we’re all about location at our cabin and you’ll appreciate being close to shopping too.

Tahoe spring/summer heating up

blackbearlodgetahoe2019

Planning ahead is always a good thing. Especially for Tahoe where summer months are the most popular and close-to-lake locations are hard to come by.  Black Bear Lodge Tahoe is situated on a big sunny meadow, close to the Upper Truckee River, a 10 minute drive to the Lake. If hiking is your thing, trails are less than a half hour. The bike path that circles the lake is 10 minutes away. Shopping is super close too.

To sum it up, yes, we’ve got the best location. If you choose not to drive, the bus is a 5 minute walk.

Make your reservations before someone else snags your dates:

Black Bear Lodge Tahoe: gold and blue

HopeValleyFall2017

Taken just a few days ago, Tahoe is beauty beyond words. The aspens are every color of gold and orange and the wind has been kind enough to let the leafed trees show off all their glory. It’s shoulder season now and rates are very attractive. Come visit! Stay awhile.
