Zeus's Retreat Cabin at Rend Lake
"Zeus's Retreat" is our most rustic Black Dog Cabin. It was named after our beloved Rottweiler Zeus Maximus, who we lost a few years ago to cancer. He was the best boy and would be so proud of his cabin. It is a 2-bedroom cabin 1/2 mile from Rend Lake Dam and the closest boat ramp. Inside, guests find a queen bedroom and a room with two twin beds, perfect for a small group or family. The spacious bathroom features a refreshing shower to start your day right.

We have plenty of boat parking space with a power source for overnight charging. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or stepping outside, the cabin offers a nice retreat from the everyday hustle. With comfortable spaces and a tremendous sense of calm, it’s an ideal spot to unwind. A great place to call homebase while you’re away, we hope you enjoy your stay. We can't wait to host you!

This place was great, very clean, comfortable, easy check-in, with very friendly and responsive owners. There was plenty of room to park our boat, multiple vehicles, and easy access to outdoor plug-ins. There was no bath soap (bad assumption on my part) but this was only a minor inconvenience for what we got.
