About this property

Deer Lake, Privacy on the Water!! Sunrises, Sunsets, and Northern Lights!

Enjoy privacy on 520 feet of crystal-clear shores on Deer Lake. You cannot see other houses from this property. The beautifully remodeled home includes all modern amenities. You can sleep up to 11 adults on 8 beds, + there are 3 couches, also blowup mattresses available.

Enjoy the premier fishing for Walleye, Bass, Crappie and Muskie, there is plenty of parking for your boat trailers in the yard as well as a 100' dock with electricity. If you need help renting a boat, I have phone numbers ready for the local in town boat rentals available, or if you are willing, I have an ugly duckling 17' seaworthy deck boat with plenty of seating I am willing to rent, let's talk ;*)

Deer Lake, also known as The Lake of Many Changing Colors, boasts 25 - 30 feet of clarity. Boat or kayak out to Bear Island and walk it’s nearly a one-mile walking trail through some of the largest Cedar trees in the area. 2 kayaks are available for your use. 4 islands out front of the property will ensure your morning kayak ride to be a peaceful one, crossing breathtaking views above, and below the waterline among the woods, weeds, and wildlife.

The property does not have a hard sand bottom but don’t let that stop you from taking a dip off the end of the dock and out to the raft, or to explore the lake in a kayak. There are also various floats available onsite in the shed along with various yard games. Set up a Bad Mitten net (or as my children called it: Good Gloves) or pull out the Bocce Ball set. There is also full-size Corn Hole boards as well as a great horseshoe pit in the yard by the lake.

Kick back and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets from up on the oversized deck, also, plenty of outside seating down by the large fire pit. Bring your own wood or purchase a large wheel burrow full for $30.

The home has an open floor plan with plenty of space in the kitchen (2 kitchens, one up and one downstairs) to allow plenty of help in preparing meals! The dining room table has 4 leaves with seating for 12 + the bar. Each kitchen is equipped with all amenities including microwave, toaster, coffee pot, dishes, silverware, pots, pans, Ninja blenders, and much more.

The living room upstairs has 2 reclining couches (seat 6) plus a single recliner for movie night in front of a 55” TV as well as a beautiful stone gas fireplace. The living room downstairs has 2 recliners, 1 couch, and 1 loveseat, as well as a 55” TV.
Plenty of sleeping space to close out your day of outdoor fun. Upstairs in the entryway is a trundle bed with two full-size twin mattresses. Bedroom #1 upstairs has a queen-size bed. Bedroom #2 sleeps 3 with one twin bed and a bunk bed. Bedroom #3, downstairs has a Queen bed. There is also a full-size bed downstairs in the oversized living room.

3 bathrooms include 1 bathroom with a shower in the master bedroom, 1 full-size bathroom upstairs in the common area has tub and shower, and 1 large bathroom downstairs in the common area has a shower.

Two charcoal grills and a small gas grill are available for your use. No grilling is allowed on any of the decks.

Owner will be available by cell phone 24/7 with any questions or concerns.

Deer Lake Hideaway

A peaceful quiet cove on crystal clear Deer Lake. I was expecting mosquitos but didn't encounter any. The house has been extensively updated with beautiful interior doors and a high-end sliding patio door on the deck. All appliances are like new and top quality. Soft water shower! All of the water goes through a filtration system that leaves it completely absent of that familiar odor that many lakeside homes and resorts have. You won't be disappointed in this lakefront getaway.

Perfect Lake Getaway....

The layout was perfect for families and giving everyone room to relax... upstairs deck was a perfect place to spend time and just kick back.... even the adults loved the swing, including a late night swing for my wife that was in a walker and she said she felt young again, it was awesome... lacked nothing, just the everyday things you'd need are all right at your fingertips.. recommend 100%!!

Amazing!!

This was our 3rd stay here and it was just as wonderful as the the other years! The owner does such a great job to make sure all amenities are offered. The lake is beautiful and the fishing is great, whether fishing from boat or the dock. Loved seeing the deer in the yard. The pool table inside is a added plus. I highly recommend to stay here (great for all ages) We will be back next year!! Thank you for making our vacation great;)

Beautiful property on a beautiful lake! Everything is as advertised. Host was great and on call when needed. Home is furnished with everything you will need. The colors and clarity of the lake are unreal. Did pretty well fishing the islands close to the property also. Made some great memories with the family and hope to visit again!

Great Summer Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house and property were great. The lake is beautiful. Did some fishing, tubing, swimming. Its not far from Grand Rapids, so visited there on a rainy day. If we get up that way again, we would definitely rent again. Thanks Patricia for letting us stay in your home.

A great stay

Our family enjoyed four nights at Deer Lake. The home and property were excellent and the lake was beautiful as advertised. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. The home was well stocked and had plenty of amenities. We enjoyed the firepit, the large yard, the deck, the grills, the kayak and canoe, the dock and the pool table. And on a rainy night we watched the Olympics in the living room and in the basement while playing pool. Groceries and gas are only a few miles away. We would stay again.

A nice place on a great lake

The property was all it was described to be and located on a very beautiful lake. Patricia has put together a well-appointed and wonderful home. We especially appreciated the lower level kitchen area so no coolers for cold drinks we’re needed. Fishing on the lake was great and we enjoyed the use of the canoe and kayak. Patricia stayed in touch with us throughout, even during some thunderstorms that rolled through. One suggestion - perhaps a little more pantry space for guests with longer stays? I highly recommend this property for older families and adults as there really isn’t usable shoreline for youngsters under ten. Many loons and eagles to be seen, plus hummingbirds at the feeder on the front window was a real treat.

Nice house on the lake

Really enjoyed the experience! This was our first time renting a cabin and it made us understand why so many people love the “cabin life!” The house is in a good location, however it is not secluded from the road it is on, so cars do pass by frequently. Other than that, really beautiful location and awesome place!! I would definitely recommend booking!!
