We spent a wonderful week on Deer Lake! The house was impeccably clean. There was lots of space outside for sports and games. We enjoyed the dock for fishing and the kayaks and paddle board for exploring the lake. We would definitely stay again!

Everything with the place was great. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the sprinkler system went off every morning rain or shine and sprayed all over the cars in the driveway leaving water spots on them. But again the lodge itself was terrific.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and property were well kept up. A second air conditioner is needed for a very hot upstairs with three bedrooms, sleeping nine. We stayed at the end of June so cannot imagine the heat of summer. Amenities were excellent except for the grill. With no drip pan, the grease went through a large hole very near the propane tank.
