Black Lake Cabins

The lake view was honestly a 20/10, and the little beach has two docks you can jump from. We stayed in cabin #7 in September, when it was quiet, so I can’t say how busy summer gets. The cabins are close together, but we didn’t mind with all the amenities and things to do. It’s dog friendly, and the few other pets around weren’t an issue. It was my first cabin trip and I’d happily make it a yearly tradition. The place was lovely, and I wish we could’ve stayed longer. The kitchen had everything we needed, though you’ll want to bring your own ketchup, mustard and other condiments since the fridge is empty. Dish soap and a sponge were supplied, which was handy. Firewood is $10 cash, the BBQ and propane are free, and bringing your own wood could save money. There are canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, pool noodles and life jackets. Bring plenty of towels if you plan to swim, because the ones provided aren’t enough. The rooms were clean, though small, and the beds were very comfortable. They also provide extra blankets, sheets, fans, heaters and pillows. In the morning, chipmunks drop chestnuts on the roof, and they sound like tiny bombs. We thought it was cute, but light sleepers might get an early start. The bathroom was manageable for my boyfriend’s grandpa and me, but my nan is a larger woman and couldn’t fit in the shower, so she wasn’t able to shower during our three days there. A longer stay would’ve made it hard for her to keep clean, especially since she can’t swim either.
