BLCK Creek

Escape to the unparalleled beauty and tranquility of Glasco BLCK Creek, nestled in the serene hills of Highland, NY. Encompassing a sprawling 164-acre estate with a private 37-acre lake, this remarkable family compound offers a breathtaking retreat unlike any other.

From the captivating waterfall to the stunning mountain views, every corner of this historic property beckons for adventure and relaxation. With four beautifully appointed residences accommodating up to 29 guests, each space blends modern elegance with timeless charm.

The estate has 4 homes, sleeps 29 guests, has 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The property is available exclusively for a single family or group at a time, ensuring privacy and a seamless, uninterrupted stay. Accommodations can be chosen based on your guest count.

Starting with the main house, Black Bear Manor is the heart of BLCK Creek — sleeping 10–12 guests, with five spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, ensuring privacy and comfort. Take advantage of culinary creativity in our gourmet chef's kitchen or unwind in the expansive living space of the Family room. The property boasts new furniture and an updated, modern design that enhances its timeless elegance.

Upstairs via the grand staircase of Black Bear Manor, you will find the Loft — perfect for entertaining family and friends or a quiet workspace. You will find board games, a pool table that converts to a ping pong table, and a Samsung TV. Take advantage of the sitting nook with a large window overlooking the 37-acre private lake with breathtaking views.

From the Main House, a stone path leads to White Tail Lodge — which sleeps up to 7 guests across four bedrooms, with one full bathroom hosting a soaking tub. This home offers a full kitchen, a living room with TV, and access to a covered lakeside porch with seating for 10+. A staircase leads to the sleeping accommodations: one king bedroom, one full bedroom, a twin daybed room, and a bunk bedroom.

The house on the hill is Fox Cottage — sleeps 6 guests — featuring a full bathroom with standing shower and a full kitchen with lake view. Fox Cottage offers stunning views of the lake and a grand view of the estate, and the hot tub is accessible via a short walk up a charming stone path.
