BR 1 - Twin Over Full, BR 2 - Twin Over Full, Loft - King, Living Room - Queen Futon, Family Room - Queen Sectional Sleeper, Bunk House - Twin Over Full, 1/2 bath, shower in adjacent sauna.
The sloping path to the beach is about 150 feet and may be too strenuous for those in poor health, disabled, or are elderly. Just added (5/15/2025) new beautiful timber steps from the deck to the lake that provides an alternate easy access to the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Jon Ulrich

I first saw Deer Lake Chalet one summer weekend when I was 21 years old. The incredible beauty of Deer Lake never left my memory. I couldn't imagine that a sometimes almost Caribbean blue water lake existed in Minnesota. (Deer Lake is called the Lake of Changing Colors) So, forty plus years later we were thrilled to be able to purchase Deer Lake Chalet. Now we are offering you an opportunity to stay at a place so beautiful that we think it will take your breath away in every season of the year. (Our favorite season at Deer Lake Chalet is whatever season we are in. ) Our on going mission is to provide you with an unforgettable and exceptionable experience at Deer Lake. With that in mind, you will find that we are always adding new and exciting amenities at Deer Lake Chalet. Join us at Deer Lake. Jon and Carolyn Ulrich
