About this property
Zeus's Retreat Cabin at Rend Lake
"Zeus's Retreat" is our most rustic Black Dog Cabin. It was named after our beloved Rottweiler Zeus Maximus, who we lost a few years ago to cancer. He was the best boy and would be so proud of his cabin. It is a 2-bedroom cabin 1/2 mile from Rend Lake Dam and the closest boat ramp. Inside, guests find a queen bedroom and a room with two twin beds, perfect for a small group or family. The spacious bathroom features a refreshing shower to start your day right. Starlink internet and Smart TVs, and an electric fireplace included for your enjoyment. Our outside space offers a fireplace with seating, charcoal grill, a picnic table with umbrella. We have plenty of boat parking space with a power source for overnight charging. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or stepping outside, the cabin offers a nice retreat from the everyday hustle. With comfortable spaces and a tremendous sense of calm, it’s an ideal spot to unwind. A great place to call homebase while you’re away, we hope you enjoy your stay. We can't wait to host you!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2026
Rob,
It was great meeting you and your Dad. It sounded like he really enjoyed the lake. Thanks for staying with us, we really appreciate your business. I considered the soap but decided against it. Everyone usually has a certain product they like better so I decided against it. It could still be a change for the future. Hope to see you and your Dad back for another adventure!
Sincerely,
Ginger & Don
