Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' This lakefront, secluded, quietly rustic Florence vacation rental is a great place to unplug and relax while taking in the spectacular views of Mercer Lake. Bring the whole family to enjoy a restful trip away from the worries of daily life from the comfort of your own deck and private dock on the lake. Your vacation home is five miles northeast of town, in a heavily forested area right on the edge of Mercer Lake, so you won't hear the highway or any of the noises of the bustling small town of Florence. The lake is just a few steps from your house, but within a 15-minute drive are a myriad of other great places to visit, including Old Town Florence, the beach, Heceta Head lighthouse, and some of the best sand dunes in the state. The owners of this house have lovingly decorated it with a nautical theme and seaside colors, so you will surely feel at home here. When you drive to this home, especially through the mile or so of dirt road, you will be amazed how beautiful the area is. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house has enough beds to sleep nine people, though the loft would be a great space for a few extra children as long as they bring sleeping bags. Two dogs are also welcome, though a nightly fee per dog and minimum fee per stay will apply and all dogs must be kept on leashes when outside the home. On the main floor, the upper level, walk through the cozy and bright living room and choose your favorite seat to watch the lake. This room is a great place to sit and chat with your guests and enjoy the view. Because this house has no TV (though it does have Wifi and a telephone), it is a great place to take a group of people and enjoy a few days without all the electronic devices we spend so much time with. Grab a board game or book off the shelf, or bring along some of your own favorites, and spend an evening appreciating each others' company! Just past the living area is a dining table that overlooks the lake, as well as a full kitchen. This kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, fridge, coffeemaker, and various pans and dishes, so you will have everything you may need to cook up a nice meal. You could even go fishing in the lake or nearby Siuslaw River, clamming during low tide, or crabbing off the South Jetty, and cook up a fresh seafood dinner in the kitchen! Also on the main floor is a full bathroom, a bedroom with a full-size bed, and another sleeping area with a queen-size bed. A loft, accessible with a sturdy wood ladder, provides a great place for children to play games or have a campout in their sleeping bags at night. The lower level of this home has another full bathroom and a washer and dryer, so you won't have to worry about getting your clothes wet and sandy at the beach. You will also find a large bedroom with two queen beds and a standalone twin bed, making this a quiet and comfortable place to sleep after a day spent outside breathing in the fresh air. Please note this bedroom is completely separate from the main living space - guests have to take an outdoor staircase to access it. Just outside both levels of this house is a gorgeous private deck! The upper deck is ideal for sitting and watching the sun reflect off the lake, and you could even bring lunch outside and eat on the picnic table while listening to the breeze rustle through the fir trees. The lower deck opens to the grassy yard, where you will find a firepit for you to use. Walk down a few stairs to reach your private dock - great place to go swimming or paddle around the lake! Mercer Lake is very quiet and a safe place to swim, so fans of the water will love it here. Even if you don't love swimming, just being near this gorgeous lake and breathing the fresh air will clear your head and leave you feeling at ease. When you're ready to visit the attractions near Florence, you have many options waiting for you. For people who prefer to be more active, there are two fantastic golf courses, numerous lakes and the Siuslaw River to use for boating and fishing, hiking trails, and amazing sand dunes. Just five minutes south of town you can go on an amazingly fun sand rail tour of the dunes. Those who are less fond of being active on a vacation will also find plenty to do. The beach is always alluring, and North Jetty is a great area for an easy stroll. Be sure to leave energy to walk along Bay Street, where there are fabulous restaurants, shops, a boardwalk along the river, and a weekend farmers market during the warmer months. Although Florence isn't famous for its nightlife, the Three Rivers Casino is a fantastic place to spend a few hours. If you visit toward the end of May, the Rhododendron Festival will be in full swing, which means a carnival, car show, parades, kite festival, and blooming rhododendrons everywhere in town. If a restful vacation to a charming coastal town is just what you need, this gorgeous lakefront Central Coast vacation rental is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty and serenity of nature.

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The view and dock were amazing! The water access was very secluded and well worth the challenging drive in which we were accustomed to with where we live currently and didn’t mind. A tv and dishwasher would be nice additions but it fulfilled our needs just fine. We appreciated the stay! ##### Lindsay H.

While the property might feel a bit tired and worn (certainly dated), access to the lake and seclusion is hard to beat. Amenities and essentials are there and the house offers a surprising number of beds given the cost. There are some things that you'll miss, maybe many. However, if the point is to be able to unplug and be on a lake, it's a pretty great landing spot. ##### Josh Manders M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany K. 7 Sept 2024 #### Peace and quiet The driveway is very long if you are worried about your car getting scratched don't book this place. Great spot on the lake, great to relaxing, but if you planning on going out every day to see Florence. Just keep in mind that it gets tedious driving back in and out every time. My dog love swimming in the lake and so did my kids. ##### Tiffany K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer D. 6 Jul 2023 #### Amazing Location We loved the lake! The dock, and porches were in great condition. There was plenty of room outdoors to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. We ate most of our meals on the deck, and played games, and listen to music. We fished and swim. The only thing I would change, is next time I’d like to stay longer! ##### Jennifer D.

This place is outdated and has a list of things that could be improved....but that's why we liked it. Had a rustic feel and you can't complain about anything for the price. Yes, if it were more expensive, things would need to be updated. We had an awesome stay and the view is absolutely breathtaking. The neighbor is a salty character but we had no problems. I think if you are being respectful, he just minds his business. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Brandon B.

The house is not red, its more of a grey, and the downstairs has a separate key code to enter that is easy to miss in the emails you receive the day before check in, but it is there (just be patient, lol). The gravel road getting up to the house is less than ideal, and a gate you have to get out and open to get down the driveway (that was never mentioned in the listing). Breathtaking views !! Easy access to the water !! Quiet surroundings !! Comfortable beds !! ##### Stephanie B.

Weather was great, Water was Fresh, House is a little outdated, but We did not choose it for fanciness. It has everything we needed. I love the New outdoor paint color, and the Layout change in the downstairs room. Hours on end in the water was Everyone favorite part. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We left lots of firewood for the next guest <3 ##### Esmeralda P.

The bottom floor was freezing! It had a huge black spider behind a picture above the biggest bed. The room after one shower was completely humid and the windows were fogged up for the remainder of our stay. I slept in the bottom and it was hard to fall asleep since you could hear everything thru the thin thin ceiling. After the first night we just brought all blankets and pillows to the first floor and we slept on the floor. Now I’m sure this would be ideal in the summer with kids but I wouldn’t recommend for the rainy weather and 4 adults. It was still a beautiful view and we had a good time. The last day of our stay there was a thunderstorm and it was beautiful to watch from our windows and warmth of the inside ##### heather j. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary Jo G. 17 Dec 2019 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### This place is nothing but a great view of the lake. The road going to the property is very steep and slick. SUV strongly suggested. The neighbor was sure to exercise his right to ensure we knew the parking rules : / Be sure to get there before dark. There were no lights left on for us and there were spider webs with spiders in the bathroom sink. Also multiple other spiders found i.e. in bathtub and washing machine. There were multiple fruit chew candies left on the floor of the main room that my dog found. The beds were not so fresh and very uncomfortable. The porch was covered with pine needles so they ended up all inside the house. Overall I felt it was way over priced and not well kept. We left early. ##### Mary Jo G. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lacey D. 19 Dec 2023 #### It was ok. The house is out dated. No tvs, we just used my laptop. Wifi works really well though! The main couch/love seat has a spring wire sticking through that was a pretty big safety hazard for my young children. The rocking chair has a huge hole in the arm rest. I originally booked this house because of the lake and it being a two story I figured kids could sleep up stairs( main area) and husband and I would take down stairs. But the up stairs and down stairs are not connected. You have to walk outside to get down to the bottom room. That was an issue for us with our oldest only being 9. As far as kitchen supplies it is poorly stocked with pots and pans has plenty of plates and silverware though. Beds were comfy and plenty of spare blankets. ##### Lacey D.

This property is so moldy and musty that it's impossible to breath without keeping windows and doors open at all times. A particular problem with cool weather. Several of us who don't have allergies to begin with, would wake up with allergies, swollen eyes, stuffy nose etc from the musty rooms. BEDDING IS HORRIBLE! There were 7 guests and we all rotated beds for 3 nights hoping we'd all find a better fit. The beds were literally so bad that we had people sleeping on sofas, sofa chairs, a cot and on the floor instead. We even undid the bedding to check if they were actual mattresses! We are very disappointed with the bad back sleeping conditions since we were paying for them Bad: In addition to the musty mold, and the horrid bedding.....there is no recycling available so we had to take it with us when we left. The fire pit is awful, the deck had a huge tree branch across it so difficult and dangerous to get down it, the directions to the place were not clear and we got lost twice. Good: Lovely location and view. Kitchen had plenty of utensils etc. ##### Monique S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2016 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jill S. 25 Sept 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### 20+ minutes to property from heart of florence Not an honest description of how rough the road is to property, and its not just the driveway as listed. The gate to property is a stressful after the rough drive to it, there are 2 keypads and neither one work with code given and no information given to say that the gate code boxes are fake and there is a carabiner type chain that you open to get through. Absolutely nothing listed about this! Wifi information is not what Vacasa sends you in your arrival email, had to contact someone and they were quick on response to me but they didnt have correct information either! Finally found a tiny booklet on table that had wifi info, which was completely different than listed! Ugh. The home is charmingish, but very musty and most of sheets had stains on them. Bedroom bed upstairs very uncomfortable and slept in a hole. You cannot access downstairs from inside upstairs, you have to go outside. Only 2 of the 4 burners work on the stove. Good thing we didnt do alot of cooking there. The view and access to water was only amazing part if this property. Waking up to the peaceful ripples of the lake was breath taking, until you had to turn around and go back inside to dinghy smelling home. All and all I guess you get what you pay for, and your paying for the beautiful view. We will not return to this property again. ##### Jill S.

Overall, we enjoyed being there. ##### Elizabeth S.

Also very the stairs everywhere made it very inaccessible for elderly. Beautiful location, not much else provided ##### Avery m.

If it wasn’t for the dock and water access the house would be rated as a 2. It needs to be deep cleaned and a good coat of paint. Ok kitchen supplies but if you like coffee bring your own pot. ##### Claudine M.
