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/canoe/row boat are free to you to use. In June and July the lake is great to paddle, by August it is quite weedy and less desirable to paddle. After the weeds die down in the fall it is fun to paddle again. It is full of wildlife and beautiful flowers and plants all season. Swans come to visit, beavers, and all sorts of creatures. There is an additional lake much bigger than ours less than a mile down the dirt road that is wonderful to paddle as well all season long . 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. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Guests may smoke outside. ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 960 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Call or text day or night, if you have a concern we want to do what we can to help!

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We stayed at Cabin Elenor, and loved how cozy it was. Spacious for a family of 3, plenty of board games, movies, and books as well. They also had a full kitchen with supplies, and fully running refrigerator and water. Bathroom was clean and was supplied with hygiene items as well. The only con inside the cabin was that the sink in the bathroom was backed up, and started filling with dirty water right away, so we had to brush and wash our hands in the kitchen sink. The outside was wonderful. It has a deck you can walk directly out to, and we ate breakfast there outside and enjoyed the scenery. They also had a nice little fire pit right outside the cabin, which was surrounded by large boulders; it made it feel very warm and secluded. They also have plenty of trails for hiking, riding an ATV, and playing area for children, which included a swing set just a short walk from the cabin, as well as a half court basketball court and hoop. Many things to love about this place! We will be back someday. ![Outside the cabin on the deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9c4f6b47-0bc0-456c-8e6e-6b3180c3e5ff-1755360497595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Other side of the deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7fa007ad-e6c7-4dd1-a26b-5b1997c57406-1755360506889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Walkway to the cabin from vehicle](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aba53767-2bde-471e-8942-ee7432d53d79-1755360510905.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The main living space](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0b760760-46e2-40e1-a227-0f6d0151d7c6-1755360439154.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia W. 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### better than expected cabin The cabin was even more beautiful than what the pictures showed.

We loved the views, listening to the birds and an evening by the fire pit. The location was close to Itasca State Park, Bemidji, and our friends living in the area. We recommend a stay at the Black Lantern Resort. Thank you so much for all of the thoughtful details of everything included with the cabin. ##### Ann J.

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. ##### Sonya B.

It was perfect for me to get away and connect with nature again. The kayak was a fun activity but I brought my own fat bike, a book, and my guitar and it was perfect! I would recommended this to anyone else who wants to do the same and doesn't have a large party. A max of 4 is comfortable there. ##### Ryan K.

The dual walk-in shower was a delight! The property is quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to relax, unwind and unplug. Outdoor activities are within easy driving distance. Annie, the host, is terrific. She returns calls and texts promptly. If you are looking for a rustic but comfortable getaway this is the place for you! ##### Scott M.

If you are looking for a quiet and secluded place for a get away, this is it. The cabin is well stocked with games, puzzles and DVDs. It's very pleasant to spend some time sitting on the deck and just enjoying being there and watching the wildlife. There are kayaks that you can use on the pond. Bemidji is about a 25 minute drive where you can go to the trail head and ride bikes on the Paul Bunyan Trail or take in the sights around town. Great place. I'd stay there again. ##### Adell B.

Best communication with owner, very clean, everything you would need including the spaces to set up your belongings, hand your clothes and even a box of tissues!! The property was beautiful and the entertaining squirrels and deer near the cabin made it special. Highly recommend staying at the Eleanor cabin!! Thank you so much, Annie!! ##### Denise W.

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. ##### Amanda J.

The trails were very fun to walk on and there are so many birds and animals to see and hear. The cabin was gorgeous and we honestly could’ve packed lighter, as the fully stocked with all the kitchen supplies we needed, there were plenty of games and activities to do to occupy us during our stay. Annie was nothing but a gem and was available and enthusiastic to answer any and every question we had and really seemed to prioritize our comfort. 10/10 would recommend. Planning to come back very soon! ##### Ivana K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick W. 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An excellent stay! My partner and I came for a weekend away from our devices to relax and recharge, and this definitely delivered. The cabin was clean and cozy, the wrap-around porch made for a really nice spot to enjoy meals and the outdoors, and all the necessities were adequately stocked (toiletries, firewood, towels, etc.). Annie, the property manager, was very easy to communicate with and responsive to any issues that came up (there really weren't any). The only thing that could have been better was a more private location. The cabin itself is secluded, but it is part of a larger resort with an RV park and one or two other cabins. This was a small issue for us; a few cars/atvs passing by our cabin from time to time when we were hoping for a more isolated stay. Overall, this did not detract from our experience, but it is useful to know if you are looking for something more isolated/private. ##### Nick W.
