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. We’d love to visit again.

Black Lake vacation

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Home was clean and decorated nicely. Swimming is great as there is a sandy bottom and it’s shallow for quite a ways out, so excellent if you have dogs or children. Great communication with the hosts. I would recommend this property if you are looking for a place on Black Lake.
