About this property
Family Retreat- Renovations & upgrades coming!
The Family Retreat is a newly renovated, seasonal cabin located right on the shores of Black Lake. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom cabin comfortably accommodates up to ten guests and provides direct access to a dock nearby.
Guests enter the house by a short set of steps leading to the front door, where they are welcomed into an open living space. The kitchen is fully updated with a dining table with seating for eight. The living area offers a comfortable space to relax, complete with a full-size sofa bed, recliner, and smart TV. Just off the main living area is a short hallway leading to two of the bedrooms. One bedroom features two sets of twin bunk beds, while the second bedroom includes a queen bed. A newly renovated full bathroom with a walk-in shower is conveniently located between these rooms. Adjacent to the living area, guests will find a third bedroom featuring a twin-over-full bunk bed, along with a nearby half bathroom. The cabin also includes a cozy three-season sunroom with lake views and a full-size sofa bed, offering additional sleeping or lounging space. Outside, guests can relax on the deck or take the stairs down to the dock for fishing or swimming.
Located within Back Bay Campground, The Family Retreat 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 Family Retreat is currently undergoing off-season renovations and will be ready for the upcoming season. Planned updates include a renovated kitchen, bathrooms, deck, updated flooring, and new furnishings. Photos may not reflect the latest improvements, but updated photos will be added once renovations are complete. All descriptions represent the updated features.
