Fabulous beach home. First time staying on sunrise side of Black Lake. Host has went above and beyond to decorate and provide everything you need for your stay. Lots of firewood was also available. Home was very clean and all beds were very comfortable. I can’t say enough about this place. Dog friendly is always a plus. I will be staying here again in the near future.

Beautiful and Peaceful

Our stay at Black Lake was wonderful. The location is great, close to activities, but far enough removed to feel the quietness and nature. We enjoyed several meals grilling on the patio and sitting by the dock enjoying the beautiful sights and sounds. The house itself is cozy and provided the perfect oasis for our family.
