It is 1062 square feet and has two bedrooms, one with twin beds, one with two sets of bunk beds ( twin over twin), a ¾ bath, over-sized kitchen with stainless appliances and a dishwasher, washer and dryer and a large living/dining area with TV.

Cabin Amenities

• The cabins are decorated with special cabin furnishings and unique cabin decorations. The cabins have themes in their decor: Aspen is General Wildlife, Birch is Birch/Native American, Cedar is Bears and Larch is Moose. These cabins are almost 75 years old but carefully renovated and updated including new double hung windows and screens. They are maintained immaculately clean. You will find the interiors special and comfortable. You are going to be visiting a charming and unique place. There is nothing quite like the character of our cabins near the water on our 85 acres of wooded serenity. Our cabins sit in the middle of our property with at least 20 acres of undeveloped woodlands on each side. Many old and young pines are scattered among the birch and aspen.

• Black Bay is renowned for its fishing. Crappies, many over 12 inches, are in abundance at the right times of the year. The bass love our unspoiled shoreline where they spawn. Black Bay is a shallow bay and it is a favorite spot on Opening Day of the fishing season.. You will catch pan fish off the dock. You can then go to the edges of the weeds on the Partridge River which flows out of Black Bay. After that, you have all of Vermilion to explore. We have the names of some super fishing guides. They book up fast, and so reserve in advance.
