**PETS PROHIBITED**

Black Bear Haus is a sunny, beautifully remodeled West Shore cabin—an ideal hideaway for a couple’s Tahoe getaway. The open-concept living space is warm and inviting with leather furnishings, a 55" TV, and a Blu-ray/DVD player, plus a cozy gas fireplace for chilly evenings.

Step outside to enjoy the fresh mountain air from the sunny patio (table seating for four) or unwind on the front-deck chaise lounge. There’s also a propane BBQ for easy outdoor meals. After a day of exploring, relax in the private hot tub on the back deck.

The bathroom has been fully updated with a new tub and granite tile. Wireless internet is included, and a high-efficiency washer/dryer is available inside (located down the interior stairs).

There are approximately 13 stairs from the parking area down to the cabin, so it is not wheelchair accessible. The homeowner (or a guest of the owner) may occasionally use the separate apartment below the garage; it has its own entrance and is set away from the main house, with no expected interruption to your stay.

The garage is not available for renter use. Parking is limited to 2 spaces.

This place is perfect, end to end. From the well placed exterior lighting if you happen to arrive at night, to the incredible fireplace that’s on in an instant and keeps the cabin super warm. The kitchen will rival your own at home and the Bluetooth sound bar with integrated sub woofer allowed us to jam to our favorite streaming services. The hot tub was kept just below the temp you want to use it, so it was ready as quickly as the fireplace. The views are spectacular as is the local to Tahoe City, Squaw and Alpine. Stu Price May have a hard time getting me back to his place!

Easy to get to, but confusing to see a car in the driveway when we arrived. It wasn’t clear to go down the three flights of stairs to the entry door. We figured it out, but maybe have an indicator at the top of the stairs to head down for the Black Bear Haus. Everything else was great. The home is cozy, comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The fireplace kept us warm and adds to the cozy environment. The hot tub was hot, easy to take off the cover and put it back on and we loved sitting out in the cold and rain while we were relaxing in spa.

Perfect Place for a Skiing Getaway

This was the perfect place for my wife and I to getaway! It's close to Palisades Tahoe; Alpine Meadows and Olympic Valley for skiing. Also, very convenient to dining and shopping. The lake is just a few minutes away, and there are a ton of beautiful hiking trails everywhere! Then, after exhausting ourselves with all of the outdoor activities, the Black Bear Haus is the perfect, comfortable place to rest and recharge in order to do it all again the next day. The private hot tub is just what the doctor ordered, too.

The bed is very uncomfortable though - very very very firm.

We spent 4 days in Black Bear Haus and enjoyed every minute. Perfect home base to explore Lake Tahoe. Numerous hiking trails within walking distance, nice restaurant options nearby. Soaking in the hot tub after a day of snowshoeing was wonderful! The house is nicely appointed with plenty of comfortable seating. Very private location and the house was spotless. Uber fast wi-fi. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need. Our only suggestion would be a new mattress as the existing one has divots and is not very comfortable. Otherwise would definitely stay here again.

This cabin was super cozy and better than the pictures. It felt very private and was well equipped. The hot tub was great to warm up in the winter. You definitely need 4-wheel drive or chains in the winter as the road that it is on is not a major street and there are a couple of hills to go up.

Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful home. We felt comfortable the moment we stepped inside and saw it was even more stunning in person. We needed a place to de-stress and I was relaxed from the start and the hot tub didn't hurt either. I hope to rent this place in the future. Most rentals are larger and this place is perfect for 2 people.

The property was very clean and had amazing kitchen amenities. I love to cook, and everything I needed was in the kitchen! The bed was very comfortable. One recommendation-the back windows do not have shades. The sun comes in really strongly in the late morning and late afternoon. It makes it difficult to stay on the couch and watch TV. I recommend they install curtains or blinds.

First time to Lake Tahoe for us; and we could not have picked a better place to stay. We wanted to raft, kayak, sight see and relax. We did a lot of reading and decided that the West Side would fit our needs and this property was a perfect location and provided HOA access to a beach. While sitting on the patio we were blessed with visits from 2 of the area dogs which was great as we had left our Golden Retriever at home. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay there again. Property management was wonderful to work with as well. We didn't arrive until after their closing time but the late check in process works very well. We realized our first day that there was no hair dryer, we contacted property management and they brought one to us immediately.

I loved the house. It was terrific that the dogs could come along. The space was beautiful. I appreciate the windows because you could not hear the road noise. The suggestions for improvement include more explanation about the electronics in the house. The 5 remote control units without any troubleshooting information was frustrating. Additionally, I wish that with the cost I paid for the house I wasn't required to strip the bed, to my own dishes and take out the trash.

The house is amazing!!! The only suggestion I might have is to install some kind of ventilation fan in the bathroom. Currently the only way to get some fresh air in the bathroom is to open a window, but in winter it gets very cold very fast. And if one keeps the window closed while taking shower, it gets very humid and moist. Otherwise, our experience was amazing!!!

Absolutely loved this home. It had everything we needed. I do think the hot tub is over treated because we ended up with serious itching and burning even after rinsing after each use.
