The Perch is a seasonal log cabin located within Back Bay Campground. This one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin comfortably accommodates up to four guests.
Guests enter the house through the deck into the main living area, which features a modern kitchen, couch that converts into a twin bed, and dining table with seating for four. Nearby is the full bathroom, complete with a walk-in stand-up shower. The bedroom is located next door and includes a built-in twin-over-full bunk bed and a dresser with a mirror. Outside, guests can enjoy a picnic table, grill, and a fire pit located to the left of the cabin. For additional space, guests may book the primitive site located right next to the cabin. The deck also offers seating for four and beautiful scenic views.
Located within Back Bay Campground, The Perch offers a private setting with full access to campground amenities, including a heated pool, 24/7 arcade, walking trails, and a camp store offering seasonal rentals and activities.
