The property was so cute and the staff was warm and inviting. There was a roaring fire and a hot cocoa bar in the lobby. We enjoyed a wonderful wine flight at the wine bar. The rooms were spacious and clean and the location was perfect for us - close to restaurants and the gondola.

Came to stay at the Black Bear Lodge for my birthday. Jenn at the service desk was the sweetest. The lodge was lovely with a complementary self-serve hot cocoa station. Parking was very convenient. Heavenly Village was only about a 5-6 minute drive. Would love to book here again!!

The staff at the Black Bear Lodge was extremely friendly. When we arrived, they upgraded us to the Aspen Lodge, and it was beautiful and large and had great views of the trees and country. There was a hot tub outside for after we snowboarding, which was wonderful. Everything was great including the wine bar and amenities. 10/10 would recommend.
