It’s hiking, fishing, boating, biking, beaching-it season at Tahoe

Planning your summer vacation ahead is a must. Especially at South Lake Tahoe where cabins get snatched up fast. ‘Tis the season for outdoor fun in the sun.

Make it happen before it’s too late. Black Bear Lodge Tahoe is situated on a sunny meadow and is close to everything: trails, the Lake, shopping, bike path, brewpubs, gaming, sailing, kayaking, beaches, gondola rides, Starbucks.

The fun has just begun. A short drive from Reno, a 4-hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area, a 2-hour drive from Sacramento.

You’re invited! Our backyard deck is heaven.

Leaf peeper alert

The aspen, willow and cottonwoods are just starting to turn their vibrant colors and the teeming crowds of summer have dwindled. Yes, it’s time to come to Tahoe to catch the magic and enjoy this special season. The water is still and clear, the Kokanee Salmon are filling the creeks and there’s plenty of room on the winding bike trails that circle the lake.

It’s particularly beautiful at Sky Meadows.  Pine needles carpet the grounds, the meadow is mowed and there’s plenty of room to play horseshoes or throw a football or frisbee. The good news: we have availability and our rates are super low.  You might even think ahead and lock in Christmas, winter wonderland time around here.

Come visit! Here are some handy links to reserve:

Recent five star reviews:

“Great location, nice back porch, convenient amenities. This rental has a “cabin-y” feel. It is unpretentious and homey.”

Summer is in full swing

So much to do here at beautiful Lake Tahoe. The lake level is brimming and boating season the clear blue waters is a dreamy experience.  Kayak, stand-up paddle, jetski, parasail, rent a power boat or motor toy….it’s all fun.

If you’d like to just take a ride, the Tahoe Queen is at your service. A perfect outing for the kids.

Beat the heat, come refresh at world-class Tahoe.  See you soon!

 

High water, high times at South Lake Tahoe

highwater

Mark Twain’s take on Lake Tahoe:  “surely the fairest picture the whole earth affords” couldn’t be more “right on” this year. With water levels at their highest in recorded history, summer 2017 promises to be spectacular.

The perfect reason to make the Black Bear your vacation destination this year. Just minutes from the beach (located at the end of Tahoe Keys Boulevard), and situated on a quiet sunny meadow, who could ask for anything more.  North Shore tends to go to sleep early.  South Lake has more activity opportunities and promises more fun: better access to hiking, shopping, more bike trails, boat rentals, historic state parks, more lakeside restaurants and the casinos are just up the road.

Sure, we have a terrific kitchen at our cabin, but if you need a break, treat yourself to a water-view lunch or sunset Happy Hour just up the road:

Riva Grill On the Lake,  900 Ski Run Blvd Ste 3, (530) 542-2600

Artemis Lakefront Cafe Ski Run Marina, 900 Ski Run Blvd #111,  (530) 542-3332
Boathouse on the Pier 3411 Lake Tahoe Blvd, (530) 545-4338
The Beacon Bar & Grill 1900 Jameson Beach Rd., (530) 541-0630

Most importantly, reserve your stay now, July is almost fully booked.  You’re just a click away:

The sand has been frosted with a blanket of snow but that’s not stopping these beach picnickers. The perfect setting for an apres-ski hot chocolate.  Better yet, the sunny meadow right outside Black Bear Lodge Tahoe.
