Tired of your busy lifestyle or just looking for a relaxing getaway? At Black Log Valley Lodge your peace can be restored. Surrounded by an abundance of Oak trees, you'll find the lodge, overlooking acres of forest. With the scent of the woods wafting in the air and the sound of chirping birds, you'll find tranquility. Although relaxation is key, there are multiple extracurricular activities to keep you occupied during your stay.

Great size for our group of 10. Description of property is accurate. We were able to sit together and visit. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the fire pit area because of rain and had to make s'mores on the grill. We found little things to do near by. We went to the Train and Trolley museum, then for some ice cream. We also took day trips to Hershey Chocolate World and the Dead Museum. The furniture and beds can use some updating. Bring lots of bug spray. The grill only has 2 of 4 working burners. Bring your own grilling utensils. Overall, we enjoyed our week together.

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.

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.

Beautiful location, spacious family accommodation

Multigenerational family gathering for Baptism in nearby town. Age range from 4weeks to 90 years old. Everyone had a place to stay, enjoy nature on the porch and fire pit, beautiful woods with some walking trails. Ground floor be dry with attached bathroom was perfect for grandmother

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!

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.

Wonderful getaway from everything!

This was a great place to get away and enjoy a few days of family bonding. Even the teens talked and played games with everyone. The house was clean and thoughtfully planned for large groups with plenty of beds and plenty of seating inside and out! There were fans in every room making it very comfortable for sleeping. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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
