Our wedding was such a magical day at the Black Bear Inn! This intimate venue was PERFECT for our woodsy, midsize wedding. Wendi & Bruce were the perfect hosts, and we loved having the whole inn to ourselves for the weekend. They even cooked breakfast for our small wedding party who stayed in the rooms. Wendi went above and beyond even helping to print my Mother-in-Law’s toast poem. Love, love, LOVE this place and we will be back for anniversaries!!!!!Black Bear Inn's reply:
We loved your wedding! What a wonderful event with amazing people - lots of love was shining on that day. Thank you for trusting us and choosing our Inn for this milestone in your lives. Looking forward to seeing you on an Anniversary trip! -

Wendi and Bruce at the Black Bear Inn were incredible. They answered any questions we had, were very flexible in allowing us to come view the venue and they had a great list of recommended vendors that know the venue very well. The venue was clean and beautiful during the fall season! They were very helpful in showing us where things can be set up and even allowed us to borrow some of their tables for the wedding. They're such wonderful people and honestly the location really helped us make a memorable wedding we won't forget. We plan to visit again! The location is amazing if you want a woodsy cabin like venue. The outside is the best part of the venue! It's well kept and gorgeous.
Thank you so much again for having us!Black Bear Inn's reply:
What an absolutely beautiful fall wedding! Everything went smoothly, the weather was perfect, and your friends and family were gracious and lovely. We wish you a lifetime of happiness. -

My husband and I got married here on 6/29/19 and we had an amazing experience. Wendi and Bruce are so friendly and so helpful with the planning process. We hired almost all vendors from the recommended vendor list that wendi gave us and we loved every single vendor we hired. The venue itself is beautiful, I would definitely recommend reserving the available rooms for the whole weekend of the wedding. I am so glad we got married here, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Thank you so much Wendi and Bruce! We cannot wait to come back again. -

We wanted somewhere up in the woods for our wedding and we found Black Bear when googling. It was the first and only venue we looked at, we LOVED it! Our wedding was this weekend and it was nothing short of perfect. Wendi and Bruce, the owners, are the kindest people and helped make sure that everything went perfectly. Wendi answered all of my calls and helped keep me calm the few weeks leading up to the wedding. Every wedding needs a Wendi and Bruce.
We will continue to go to the Black Bear In and will hopefully have a baby shower there soon. Wendi and Bruce made us feel like family.Black Bear Inn's reply:
Thank you for the very kind review - we loved every minute of it too! What a perfect, beautiful day (no smoke, blue sky, wonderful people...) especially considering it rained the day before! Happy happy married life to you both :) -

Casie Sent on 09/21/2018I am so happy that we decided to book our wedding at the Black Bear Inn. We fell in love with it the day we came to check it out and I smile every time I think about how perfect my wedding was. Wendi and Bruce are absolutely amazing people! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get married up in the mountains. My wedding was 9/15/18. The weather was about 68/70 degrees. The perfect day. I look forward to going back for a weekend getaway!

Melissa Sent on 10/04/2017I cannot say enough good things about Black Bear Inn. The property is gorgeous and the perfect size. You get 4 different areas to work with but they are all easy walking distance from each other. The owners Wendi and Bruce are amazing! You can tell they genuinely enjoy being a part of your special day and they go above and beyond to make the whole weekend a great experience. Being able to get there Friday and leave Sunday made a huge difference in lowering my stress level on the big day and being able to truly enjoy it without having to worry about the little set up details. During the planning process, Wendi is extremely responsive and is always happy to help.Black Bear Inn's reply:
Thank you for the review Melissa! We did truly enjoy your day - your family and friends were gracious guests and the party was a great time! Looking forward to seeing you on anniversaries to come! -

Lindsee Sent on 08/07/2016The venue is absolutely stunning, and we received so many compliments on what an amazing place we chose. It was worth every penny, and we couldn't have imagined anything different for our wedding.
As if that weren't enough, Wendi and Bruce, owners of the Black Bear Inn, are literally as great as it gets. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with them. Our wedding was an absolute fairy tale, and they made sure every single thing went off without a hitch. Having the inn all to yourselves for the weekend was one of the best parts; everyone was around us and got to enjoy the crazy time leading up to the wedding. I would absolutely recommend them and their beautiful venue! -
User2566357 Sent on 04/01/2016I got married at the Black Bear Inn on February 13 2016. I can't begin to describe how incredible this venue is. If you are looking to have a wedding in the woods then stop your search now and book BBI. Wendi and Bruce were incredibly accommodating, helpful, and really a joy to have around. The grounds are spectacular and they make for some very romantic, epic photos. By booking the inn for your wedding, you get the entire venue, including the 5 rooms they have onsite. I didn't think much of that beforehand, but I must tell you that the convenience of being able to walk down to my room at any time during the entire weekend was SO invaluable. It was so special being able to walk down to the gazebo in the morning, finish up my vows with a cup of coffee and just take in the surrounding before the chaos started, without worry that you are bothering any other guests around. My entire family and all of our friends could not speak highly enough of the Black Bear Inn and the service that was provided. We look forward to returning for milestones in the future. -
User2288871 Sent on 08/27/2015The Black Bear Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. As fate would have it, we were supposed to get married in Lake Tahoe at an estate overlooking the lake. It turned out that the owner had been foreclosed upon and had defrauded ten couples this year and made off with everyone's deposits. We were left looking for a new venue just a few short months before our wedding, and were trying to keep the same date to avoid messing with people's travel schedules. We were SO lucky to find Black Bear Inn and Bruce and Wendi.
First of all, the property is just beautiful. It has the perfect layout for a wedding -- a front lawn with a second lawn for cocktails, a back lawn with a patio for dancing, and a big house for getting ready. Bruce keeps the yards in great shape and there were sweet peas blooming everywhere during our wedding. In addition, Bruce and Wendi are the most helpful, accommodating people we could have hoped to find in such a stressful situation. They helped set us up with local vendors, helped set up the rehearsal and the wedding, and Wendi even lined up an afterparty for us without us asking! They are also super cool, interesting people and it was great to share our day with them. I couldn't recommend the Black Bear Inn more highly, and it is a GREAT value.
