As we continue to expand our offerings, we remain dedicated to enhancing the guest experience. We believe that the balance between activity and tranquility sets Black Prong apart.
We are thrilled to unveil some exciting new additions at Black Prong!
We've Gone Solar!
We’re excited to announce that Black Prong has taken another step toward sustainability with the completion of our new solar pool heating system.
Our state-of-the-art, 4,000 square foot Heliocol solar pool heating system will keep our pool at a comfortable 80 degrees—on all but the coldest days—without relying on fossil fuels for over 290 days a year.
This green initiative isn’t just about comfort; it’s about making a positive impact. By harnessing the power of the sun, Black Prong will save an estimated $1 million over the system’s lifespan. Even more impressively, we’ll offset 3,991,290 pounds of CO2, which is equivalent to planting 14,745 trees.
At Black Prong, we are committed to being eco-friendly stewards for the environment.

Golf Carts for Guests

This initiative aims to make navigating the property both convenient and environmentally friendly. In addition to the convenience and environmental benefits, this change is driven by a focus on safety and preserving guests’ immersion in nature. By offering these electric vehicles, Black Prong underscores its commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint, while also ensuring that guests can enjoy a seamless and enjoyable stay.
