Lakefront home w/ deck, grill, fireplace, firepit, AC, & WiFi

The house is a perfect lake retreat. We had iffy weather but we’re still able to have a great stay. We had a fawn and mom walk by almost daily and a bear cub came by on our last day. The lake was very relaxing and great sunset views from the dock. It’s a very quiet location which is exactly what I wanted. Local grocery store made it easy to shop and cook.

What a wonderful Mothers Day getaway with our family. The town of Eagle River is close and walkable. We enjoyed games at the big dining room table.

Rays retreat is a perfect little spot for a weekend getaway or family vacation. Our stay was super comfortable and everything was very clean. We would definitely choose this spot again!

My highlight was morning coffee enjoying the view from the four seasons room. Don't miss the fresh master suite downstairs.

Very beautiful place, would come again Code could be shorter for entry of house. We couldn't figure out lock. I think to much private info for reservation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Beautiful, quiet and clean...

The quiet lake, stunning views - the wide open floorplan provides amazing views both upstairs and downstairs. The huge deck and outdoor dining space, swing, fire pit, amazing dock. We used the wood burning fire place on a cold dreary day and watched the white caps on the lake from inside. That sun room is unbeatable. The kitchen is all anyone really needs, not that big, but usable for quick meals. The laundry worked great. We were very comfortable, so relaxing, enjoyed the deer and wildlife, short drives to downtown Eagle River and all around the area. Wifi was great too. Oh - and I almost forgot that downstairs shower - WOW. Wasn't expecting the comfort and spaciousness of that entire master suite downstairs. Only cautions - the stairs inside may be a bit challenging, portion of it without railing (there's a turn that is hard to navigate) - they did provide a baby gate to keep kids from going down if needed. For elderly or someone with balance issues, that could be an issue...but I'd suggest using the outside stairs...or staying upstairs/ground level if that was the case. This place is perfect for getting away to peace and quiet, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, swimming, etc.

Rays Retreat is an amazing rental. It offers spectacular views of the lake from many vantage points. Speaking of the lake…Meta Lake is a true gem. It’s private, quiet and the fishing can’t be beat! Just from the pier, we caught bluegills, crappie, bass, pumpkinseed, walleye and northern pike! There are two kayaks for venturing further out. The outdoor spaces are inviting,,,large pier, fire pit area, hammock, bench swing and upper deck for grilling and gathering around a large table. We only used the bedroom on the lower floor. Very private with a luxurious king bed, ultra luxurious walk-in shower and sliding glass doors to lower patio with nice lake views. Great for couples or families with kiddos. Because this property has lots of stairs, it can be very challenging for those with mobility concerns. Highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! It was so quiet with a beautiful view and very clean. This vacation home was the most well equipped place we have ever stayed. The kitchen is stocked with all of the dishes, pots and pans etc. that you would ever need. We did not mind the stairs at all, but if you are disabled or cannot handle a lot of stairs it may be difficult to go down to the dock on the lake or use the downstairs bedroom. We definitely would come back if the opportunity presents itself.

There are beautiful views inside and outside of the house of the lake. Floor to ceiling windows are wonderful and they're also able to be slid open for airflow. Having air conditioning was a bonus during the hot week we were there. The lower level has a beautiful view of the lake also. We did not use the fire pit, but it also has a very good location. We grilled on the deck most evenings and enjoyed the table and umbrella for our meals outside. We will look at booking this location again. We also were in contact with Vacasa for some minor issues and they were resolved. John was a great maintenance guy!

While the living spaces were a tad smaller than we thought, it worked well for our family of 6. The lake is a nice one, clear waters and overall pretty quiet (except for that girls summer camp occasionally playing music, but it wasn’t every night and it was on the other end of the lake). The view from the addition is what makes this place special. What could be improved is the downstairs (master) bed— would recommend a refresh there as we felt jealous of our kids on the nicer twin mattresses. But, the lake and the views and the peace and quiet is what we were there for and that was all outstanding. Would stay again.

Very peaceful, great location, had everything we were looking for! Family loved it!
