Beaver Lake Black Barn

I've been to struggling on how to even start this. We got there Wednesday. Noticed right away that there were so many issues. I messaged the host. He was expecting me, gave me a apology. Then explained that they were working on redoing things because of flooding issues. We immediately started looking for a different place to stay. Unfortunately, we couldn't find. We've been to the lake multiple times. My husband is in the area doing home inspections. We have a few friends on Beaver Lake. I'm an authors, so we thought I could finish my book, let's do a family vacation! We had four boys with us that could NOT use the cabin because of the way it smelled and the upstairs ac not working. I woke up the first night with what I thought were hives, because of how stressed I was. I had kids sleeping on floors! I ended up having to go to the er Thursday night at 11p.m. I was so itchy. Where they informed me it was bedbugs. Great way to find out I'm allergic. I messaged the host, he told me that they were mosquito bites. He took a class, so he knows. That they had had 3 previous tenants plus them before I checked in. Though he told me earlier that they had flooding issues and had to redo things. We were home Friday by 2 PM...2 days early. We lived in 10 hours way. It was so dirty and so many safety issues. Did say he would refund me. Born in Arkansas I know mosquitoes. Having a husband as a home inspector he has a list of issues. Also was NOT A KING BED! Took so many videos and pictures

We had a fabulous girl's weekend! The house is clean, there are a ton of beds available, checking in was a breeze. We didn't have any problems at all, and in general it was a lovely stay. Things that would have been helpful to know (for me): This property is tricky to get to on a motorcycle. I would recommend experienced riders only, but it isn't impossible. Just be careful - lots of switchbacks and hairpin turns, so be good with your slow maneuvers. Walmart delivery will save your life. There were no DoorDash options available, and the closest retail place is a gas station. If you're the type that thinks, "I'll get there and see what we need," go ahead and stop on the way (or bank on Walmart). The walls are thin and you'll hear everything your housemates are doing (I do a lot of turning over in my sleep - this kept the person downstairs awake). Great news - the bunkhouse is a whole separate building if you need it! None of these were deal breakers for us in any way! We had a wonderful time, but if our group dynamic had been different I might have felt differently. Many thanks for a wonderful stay - I would absolutely recommend this beautiful property to anyone!

We loved our time at the Black Barn! The arcade room/bunk house was a huge hit for the kids. The community of people made our stay even better.

We were wanting a cabin in the woods to enjoy the outdoors and let our kids run a little wild. They loved running around in the forest and on boulders right in the backyard. The main cabin was a great layout and had everything we needed including extra blankets and an electric fireplace. The kids loved the bunkhouse, what a fun addition. The view of the lake was great. The wifi was not working when we got there and the host responded almost immediately and we solved the problem quickly.The cabin needs a little TLC in the form of some new caulk and paint and woodrot repair. This would be my only complaint but it did not impede our stay.

We wanted to get away from the noise for thanksgiving and be remote and this place was heaven - the kids 11 and 8 loved the separate playing barn - plan to drive 30-40 mins for good food options but if you are cooking and grilling you can be self sufficient - came ass advertised and recommend it to anyone !
