Moonshadow Retreat on Mercer Lake

Lake is amazing. House is great. We loved it.

Family time was spe

I brought my neice who was visiting from Alaska and my 5 year old great granddaughter. We had a great time fishing playing going to Florence. I can't wait to come back. Very cozy clean. with everything you will need. Than you! from Alaska

Great location with good parking. The house was very clean and comfortable for 4 adults and 2 kids.. We enjoyed the well maintained hot tub, private dock. The kayaks and SUP were appreciated.The deck and yard were lovely. We didn't use the fire pit or BBQ or paddle boat. We'd love to return!

2nd time there. Perfect place to disconnect and relax. Looking forward to coming again soon.

Very nice property and the location was absolutely fantastic!

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!
