With a boat, you can poke around the long Dowell and Dahlin arms and many small coves and points around the lake. There are standing and fallen trees around the shoreline, as well as a fair number of docks, that add to the potential cover for bass and panfish.

House was nice just a little warn in places. Could not use tub there was not a plug. Bathtub was very slippery, almost fell in shower. Amenities were nice and kitchen had everything you could want.
We had a great time in this house. It had everything we needed to explore the local area and we loved coming in from a day out to soak in the hot tub. The bedrooms having blackout blinds was a bonus for our children and these light summer evenings. We also loved that we could access Mercer Lake via a five minute walk down the road.
The house was comfortable and had everything that we needed. It's a very short and easy walk to the lake. The fireworks show was a blast! Would definitely go back.
I’m sure there’s not enough space to describe my overall disappointment from the online pictures to what we actually got when we pulled up. This was a 25 year anniversary for my husband and I. The outside of the house was filthy with spider webs everywhere, dirty windows and the supposed outside sitting area did not exist. We then opened the door and were hit in the face with the worst mildew smell. I immediately opened what windows I could which was only the kitchen and bathroom since there were so many spiders etc on the house that I wasn’t going to let them in. We then pulled back the bedding in the main bedroom to find brown stains on the sheets. I pulled these off, searched the linen closet for more and found a cleaner mismatched set. We changed the sheets, found there was very limited amenities for ten days and made a list for the next day to shop. The next day I bought extra soaps, cleaners, TP, batteries for remote controls, candles and air fresheners. Also, we examined the towels and found these were stained and needed immediate washing. The price per night that I was charged was way over the top for what we got. We made a phone call to the property management and expressed our disappointment and requested a refund on the cleaning and supplies. He said he would call us back and never did. By the time we left, the smell in the home was bearable only because of the daily cleaning and fresh air. We definitely left this property better than when we arrived.
We enjoyed our stay very much! It was a great little getaway, and perfect proximity to the sand dunes. Thank you! J & B
The place was cozy and quiet. A short drive from the grocery store and beach adventures. Wifi and tv streaming available. Hot tub was great to soak in.
The house was clean, and accommodating. The Hot Tub was perfect, we have stayed places where the chlorine levels were enough to eat your skin, and this was not the case at all. The neighborhood was quiet, with the exception of the mad squirrel that enjoyed throwing pine cones, and scolding us for interrupting her fall gathering. 10/10 highly recommend staying here.
What a great getaway! Thank you for going above and beyond, there was everything we could have needed there! Already talking about visiting again around summer time to enjoy the lake!
This little cottage was great for my friends and I and super close to the lake which was awesome!!
We stayed at 3 Sands Cottage for just 2 nights but I wish I would have booked for more! I loved the outside space and as a bird watcher who lives in town, I appreciated the quiet woodsy outside that gave many different bird species room to forage and fly from tree to tree. And the mornings were filled with bird song! My favorite. I booked this cottage specifically for that reason as a lot of rentals are beautiful but do not have outdoor space that will attract birds and wildlife. The house had everything we needed. We used the hot tub and it was wonderful after a very long and tiring walk from Heceta lighthouse down to Hobbit beach! Long and wonderful! I would definitely come back again.
This property was absolutely perfect. From the kitchen, inside, to the hot tub, everything was spotless and well stocked. Beds were comfortable and made for a great nights sleep after a busy day of adventures. The hobbit trail and beach were among the best places to see! Would stay here again and recommend to all my friends.
Could use some TLC. We had a great time, went horseback riding at C&M stables and went to downtown Florence and Lake Mercer was beautiful! Will come back again! ?
This was an amazing Family adventure on the coast of Oregon, where the Forest meets the Sea..... This house is so cute and cozy, perfect for our small family. It also was dog friendly so we got to bring the pooch. The house is small yet elegant and was very clean. It is right by a lake and we put in our paddle board one day to have some fun in the lake. The ocean is right by us as well along with sand dunes for tons of fun on the coast. The beds where comfy and soft pillows. The only downer was the bathroom did not have a fan, and we all had to share the same bathroom...maybe some mirrors would be good in the master bedroom for me, (mom) to get ready so I don't take over the bathroom. Our family loved bringing the dog and exploring, everything around us was very dog friendly and the kiddo had so much fun in the ocean and also coming back to the house to warm up in the hot tub. We all loved the hot tub, perfect for us to warm up after the chili coastal water. If your looking for a peaceful quiet spot in the forest next to a lake, a short drive to sand dunes and the coast, with a hot tub to boot, this is the place for you! Don't forget to bring the dogs.
Quiet spot, very relaxing and hot tub worked great
