Black
Bear Inn at Lake Tahoe
Reviewed
by MaryAnne Williams
For
those that are craving a romantic get-a-way weekend, it
is not hard to find the Black Bear Inn located in beautiful
Lake Tahoe . We spent such a delightful weekend at this
exquisite bed and breakfast that by far over exceeded our
expectations. The Inn is owned and operated by Jerry Birdwell
and Kevin Chandler who greet and welcome all of their guests
with their innate Southern hospitality.
The
ambiance of the Inn was perfectly Tahoe, with the main cabin
set amongst the pine trees and picturesque woods. The Inn
is located within walking distance of the lake and my sweetie
and I had a nice time walking hand in hand down to the lake
while enjoying the breathtaking sunset and view of the lake.
While
the Black Bear Inn is gay owned and operated, it is not
gay exclusive but we immediately felt welcomed to be ourselves.
The rooms offer all the comforts of home plus luxuries one
can only dream of; Ralph Lauren sheets & towels, over
plush pillows and a roaring rock fireplace, not to mention
the perfect rustic room décor one would expect at Lake Tahoe
. We simply felt spoiled and had a great time indulging
ourselves.
Try
not to miss the 5pm wine and cheese gathering Jerry and
Kevin host for their guests. The wines featured are exclusively
bottled for The Black Bear Inn and they are superb. The
major highlight of our weekend was our visit to the private
outdoor Jacuzzi which we indulged in while sipping our wine.
It was everything you can imagine. It is no wonder the TV
Series “The Bachelor” had chosen this setting for one of
the dates on the series premiere.
Of
course the breakfasts are all too delicious and we savored
every bite of Jerry’s specialty dish, Eggs Benedict. They
really spare no expense on spoiling their guests, with the
best coffees, dishes, finest linens and silverware.
For
those of us whom are always busy and on the go, whom desperately
need to feel rejuvenated in a short period of time, this
charming haven is exactly what the doctor ordered. Perhaps
you are hoping to surprise your lover with a romantic get-a-way
destination? The Black Bear Inn is perfect for any couple
craving romance and ambiance. It is just a click away at
