Moonshadow Retreat is newly updated in February 2023. Enjoy this 1000 square feet, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with a personal dock as your retreat on the Oregon Coast. Enjoy the miles of hiking trails, the amazing beaches, and the lake.
Spend your day out at the beach or on your own private dock with a pedal boat, Kayaks or standup paddle board. Then relax in the hot tub over looking the Lake, or enjoy a BBQ dinner on the expansive deck overlooking the lake. If you have a boat, bring it to Mercer lake boat launch and park it at the dock, there is room to park your boat trailer in front of the house.

Wonderful place! The house is on a little quiet (5 mph) cove of the lake that has about a dozen homes. While the neighbors are close, there were very few around when we were there on a beautiful August weekend, and the cove was very quiet (except for us, maybe). The 10 and 12-year-old boys loved the loft bedroom (doorless), accessible by a winding metal staircase in the high-ceilinged living room. They also caught (and released) many perch and a few sunfish, and we all enjoyed the swimming, kayaking, peddle boat, and standup paddleboard on the lake, and the hot tub and expansive deck. The lake is somewhat weedy, but was deep enough that we never noticed weeds while swimming. Anglers would sometimes snag weeds. Lake was deep enough to jump off the dock. We never got around to smores in the firepit or the grill--too litte time! Easy access to town and dunes. The house is on a quiet little peninsula with a loop road that can be walked in about 10 or 15 minutes. Property manager was very responsive, helpful and professional, though we didn't really need much. There was a great notebook of local information. Verizon service was fine except for occasional places on the road approach where it drops out. Layout is good for two couples--a master suite with bath, and another small queen room. A 3/4 bath is tucked between the queen room and the kitchen. Watching meteor showers on the dock was a highlight. Some type of shade/umbrella on the dock would have been nice. We'll be back!
The main living area is as described. Kitchen was well stocked. Coffee maker is a Keurig - solo or full pot. Plenty of movies and games. Small bedroom has zero storage. No closet; no dresser. Master bedroom has tons of space, including a walk-in closet. Master bath ceiling could stand to be cleaned. Questionable black spots. Lots of storage! Back deck - if you're an arachnophobe, be prepared. We counted no less than 35 spiders on our first night, under the gutter eaves. Swept them down. The next morning there were 15 replacements. It rained during most of our stay so we didn't get to enjoy the backyard, hot tub or dock, but that was our choice. We did enjoy the view of the lake. Very calm & quiet. Would definitely stay again, maybe a little earlier in the year when it's warmer outside, but we were warm & cozy inside! :)
Loved our stay! Played games with our son, soaked in the hot tub, went kayaking, tried out the paddle boat. Everything was perfect. we all played and relaxed and were very comfortable.
The house is a bit outdated and run down but it is made up for in charm, views and thoughtful little touches. Great stay, definitely on our repeat list. Thank you!
Gorgeous lake perfect private Dock.
Well apportioned home by a beautiful and peaceful lake, with every comfort possible! Spacious and clean, this home offers plenty of lawn and deck space for friends and family. I enjoyed the pedal boat, and the dock is fun to hang on. Had the best time walking around the lake each day, and loving mornings looking at the fog rise off the water. Being so close to the Florence Beach, downtown and restaurants, is a plus...but, I liked just, enjoying homemade meals crafted in a Kitchen, full of amenities. Appreciated, ( Leslie) Property Mgmt aiding with local info, and fast response ! Thank You, for creating a wonderful environment for folks to enjoy the best, of Mercer Lake!
Clean, a little taste of heaven by the water⛵️
We stayed here with our 16 year old daughter and her two friends. It suited our purpose for the days we were there. However, we felt that we were house-sitting more than staying at a vacation property, maybe because we stayed during the off season? There were a lot of things just...off with the house, especially if you come with a large group i.e. lack of storage space for luggage. The house is also a little run down and comes with a lot of rules. It's also super close to the neighbors--one decided to cut wood at 1:30am, another spent the weekend renovating. Just be warned.
Cute and cozy house right on the lake with dock and hot tub. This was the perfect little getaway for our family just looking to relax. The private dock was great to launch our kayaks and nice when we rented a boat for some fishing. The water was like glass with beautiful mirror images of the trees. House was a few minute drive to town with nice people everywhere we went!
Very relaxing
