Black Lake Home

This house was wonderful to stay in. The beach was great, a little dirty but my 2 and 1 year olds loved it. The house was as advertised. A lot of spiders but that is to be expected with a lake house. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were pretty uncomfortable but not unbearable. The neighbors are the hosts of the home and were very inviting.

Lovely house on the water!

We had a great time for all involved, property was well kept. The beach was a little durty and the grass was long, but that was due to an extenuating circumstance on the owners side. The only downside would be the lack of AC in the over the garage rooms and the extra cleaning fee if you use them.

Summer getaway

This was our 2nd year at this property and somehow it was even better than the first! Hosts are wonderful – great communication and couldn’t have been more helpful – Thank You! The house has everything you need. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, plenty of beds, open-concept great room/kitchen/dining area, deck, grassy area in back, sandy beach area, firepit, kayaks, beach toys, and sunsets. The lake itself is perfect for our group, but especially for the 2 younger children with us. The water is clean and crystal-clear with a hard, sandy bottom. Even better for us, the water stayed shallow (waist-high for an adult) for hundreds of yards. Great house – great lake – great week of fun and relaxation!

Family

My husband and I rented this property as a Christmas gift for our adult children and their significant others. We were looking for someplace that could accommodate our large group and have a beach area for our grand kids to play. The sandy beach was a great area for them, as well as the shallow water with a sandy bottom where they could walk out for the better part of a mile and still only be waist high. We enjoyed relaxing and having bonfires and playing games. Is was nice to disconnect from technology and just be together enjoying one another’s company.

Very nice house and great big lake

House had everything we needed and host was right next door. Black lake didn't disappoint, managed a couple really nice days for cruising the lake and a little fishing. Didn't manage to find any of the larger panfish, but they are in there somewhere based on the amount of smaller perch we caught. Managed an 18.5 in smallie as the biggest bass and a couple smaller ones. Drove up into the river in the north end of the lake on one of the windier days and found some largemouth along the lily pads. Had a group of 7, with a couple beds to spare so could definitely sleep 11 as the listing states. Plenty of smaller rivers nearby to kayak and explore as well.

Just Perfect!

Great week on Black Lake - this property checks all the boxes. Great communication from the owners and they couldn't have been more cooperative and helpful. Nice, clean house with plenty of space and beds/rooms for our group of 8. House was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Nice grassy area in the back leads to a sandy beach area where our young ones spent a lot of time. The lake stays shallow with a hard, sandy bottom for quite a distance which was great for our whole group. We loved the firepit and kayaks, and you can't beat the sunsets! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful cottage!

My whole family and I had a great time during our week at Donna and Glenn’s cottage! They were very easy and friendly to work with. We loved that it came with two kayaks and a nice fire pit by the lake! My son loved the little beach area where he could dig and play for hours. The cottage was very clean and spacious for my whole family. Beautiful sunsets on the lake! We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Spectacular sunset view

We four adults had a great week! House was well-stocked for cooking in, and clean. Beds were comfortable. We had campfires most nights with amazing fiery sunsets. Our first time to Black Lake- we were blown away by how quiet it is compared to their lakes we’ve visited. Water so clear and clean, too. We will be back.
