About this property

A Cozy Cabin in the Woods, Many Trails And A Little Lake


We are surrounded by wildlife out here, and lots of towering pines. The cabin is tucked into the forest with rolling hills, solid forest and tons of trails. The little lake is secluded, not developed and the kayaks/canoes/paddle boats are free to you to use. The cabin was designed for a couple but we added a bunk bed because so many of our guests want to bring more family. There is a private campfire area landscaped in a little cove with big boulders right out the cabin's front door. The cabin has a queen bed and a bunk in the open living space. A propane fireplace sets in the center of the cabin, a full kitchen that is equipped with all eating/cooking utensils, coffee maker, toaster, blender, crock, & baking sheets, an open living space, the bathroom is custom built with a double headed shower with a built in bench, custom sink and shelves, all the linens are provided and meticulously cleaned for the kitchen, bed, & bath. We outfit the cabin with children's games, coloring, etc. , adult's games like cribbage, family conversation starters, puzzles, books & magazines & don't forget the DVD collection if you want to hole up and watch movies! Outside, the deck wraps around so you can watch the wildlife, which has included bear, turkeys, deer, tons of squirrels and rabbits, a porcupine that tried to eat our front door, birds and many others. We supply chairs for sitting and a charcoal BBQ grill. A starry sky here is amazing and can be so quiet at night it is gorgeous. A Winter stay is my favorite, as we leave snowshoes for the guests and it is the most secluded time of the year. Our guests have even brought and decorated Christmas trees! Since we are right on the snowmobile trail guests can hop right on their snowmobiles for a day on the trails too. ATVs are welcome here as well and there are epic trails 25 minutes away. 100's of feet of forest separate you from the nearest anything on the property, the cabin is private. There are 200 acres all together to explore and hundreds of acres of public land too. We operate as The Black Lantern Resort and privacy is our forte. All the acreage is very fun to explore. The lake is great for spotting wildlife and beavers since they built a hut and dammed up the lake, it is fun to fish too, not for swimming though. We have a little dock house that has life jackets and some fishing gear in it that our guests are welcome to use. A playground is there for the children too:) We encourage people to bring bicycles as well. Please, please understand that we do not accept pets, we can't do it, please do not ask. We have had costly damage done from when we used to welcome pets. We now are pet free inside the cabins and cater to those with allergies. People with allergies take this very seriously because a pets presence can physically harm them. Thank you for understanding our policy to protect our cabins and guests.

Relaxing
Cabin was wonderful. Was very peaceful sitting on the deck with our morning coffees listening to all of mother nature. If you enjoy being isolated in the woods i would recommend

Beautiful property!
We were here 1 night with our 16 year old and 6 year old, and then 2 more nights with only our 6 year old (our 16 year old was joining a school trip). It was perfect for our needs. We might be a little crowded to try to come back with all 3 of our kids (an additional child was at camp already when we arrived), but the cabin and the entire surrounding property are certainly charming enough for a return trip. It was so peaceful! The little lake for canoeing or kayaking was super fun and a short walk away. The bathroom with double shower was great, kitchen well appointed. All in all, it was great and we absolutely book again.

Great place!
We stayed at this location to be back and forth to Bemidji. We were looking for a cabin and this one was wonderful! All the amenities of a cabin (games, books, etc.) were provided and the host was charming! We highly recommend this location and hope to be back!

Amazing
We were over due for a getaway and relax. Our stay melted away all the stress of our daily schedules of work and fixing up our trailer house. The only thing we regret is it wasn't a longer stay. We are looking into reserving Eleanor again, when we can find open spots.

Why they chose this property

My family vacationed to a LITTLE cabin in the woods right by here where we indulged by cooking on a wood stove, pumping our own water and using kerosene lamps instead of electricity, and card games instead of TV. I have not been able to shake this part of the forest and it is where my heart is. I came back to Northern MN the first chance I realized I couldn't live without it.
