Tired of your busy lifestyle or just looking for a relaxing getaway? At Black Log Valley Lodge your peace can be restored.

Although relaxation is key, there are multiple extracurricular activities to keep you occupied during your stay.

Restful Family Weekend
This house accommodates our family well with its many bedrooms and bathrooms, and large living room. We enjoyed visiting on the porch, around the fire outside, and on the swing-set.

Secluded family cabin
Perfect cabin to accommodate multiple families. Nice open layout on first floor with kitchen, large table and livingroom allowed conversation during meal preps. Beautiful fire pit, large bundles of wood for only $5. Surrounded by woods. Only negative was there was not much close by and the mountain roads make travel take a very long time. The host was very responsive. I would recommend this cabin.

Outstanding location for a guy's weekend
I just got back from an extended weekend at this camp with 14 other guys in their 30s and 40s. It was EXACTLY what we hoped for. Secluded out in the woods, plenty of space outside to do stuff, plenty of space inside to hang out, enough sleeping arrangements for all of us. Couldn't recommended high enough!

Family vacation
This cabin was perfect for our annual family trip. We had 14 people with an age range from 2-62 years and a dog. The cabin was clean and plenty of rooms and seating for everyone. The kids had a blast on the swing set. I would stay here again.

Nice place for a quiet family get away.
Nice place for a quiet family get away. Very remote, we saw a bunch of turkeys and other wild life, and could hear coyotes howling in the distance. The firepit/play set area was great for both adults and kids. Plenty of space for a large family.

Family Vacation
There were 13 in our group. The cabin is spacious and the kitchen features a large gathering table. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and extra table to put on covered deck. All the kids ate on the deck. We enjoyed the woods and peaceful setting The kids loved playing on the property and in the nearby creek. The guys went fishing on the river and we had camp fires in the evenings. There is an extra charge if you use their firewood. We brought our own. This is a great place if you just want to relax and enjoy family time and nature. Suggestions would be more thorough cleaning. Mattresses need replaced and mattress protectors washed.

Budget friendly stay
If you’re looking for a low budget/good enough stay. Obviously nothing fancy as you can see from the pictures but had everything we needed for the stay. The large property with firepit, yard games, balcony with grill, and nearby lake and river are great. The biggest negative for me was the cleanliness - it’s an old place with some broken things. This is definitely a bare minimum place- there is no washer and dryer, no dishwasher, you have to bring all your own bedding and towels (which can be inconvenient for a large party). But all this information is provided in the listing so it’s communicated up front as long as you pay attention to the details. We were out and about most of th

Camp
Camp was wonderful! This is a great house with a kind owner. There is so much space to accommodate a large group but also cozy enough for a smaller group. This was our second stay here and we have plans to return next year. Check in is easy. The owner provides you with area info and has the vet phone number posted in case you bring a fur baby that needs help. Nearby mountains are beautiful. Wildlife sightings are common. People in town are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed campfires, walks, horseshoes and more. Nearby Raystown lake is beautiful.

Weekend Away
Stayed here for a weekend away with two other families. Plenty of space and very old-school vibe. Location was great, although teens weren’t thrilled with not having cell service or Wi-Fi. Last day there, owner mowed the lawn while we were still checked in and outside playing yard games, which was disappointing (especially for those of us with bad allergies), but over wise, great weekend away to unplug.
