The Perch- Cliffside cabin overlooking Black Lake
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. Whether you’re spending the day out on the water, exploring the campground, or unwinding back at the cabin, everything you need for a relaxed lake stay is close at hand.

The calm atmosphere naturally creates a comfortable space for families, couples, and anyone looking to unplug and reconnect with nature. This isn’t a party destination or a commercial resort. It’s a place chosen for its simplicity, natural beauty, and sense of ease, and that’s exactly the kind of experience we want every guest to enjoy.
