Winter Weekend

The house fit our every need. Check in process was seamless. Rooms were decently sized and decorated nicely. WiFi was strong and consistent. It was quiet on the lake and at night it felt like there wasn’t another soul around for miles. We can’t wait to return!

Great location. Accommodations smaller than expected.

We enjoyed this area very much. Unfortunately when we arrived at the property I had to spend the first moments of our vacation vacuuming the entire house, including the couches and wiping down surfaces because there were so many dead ladybugs all over. We appreciated getting a heads up from the owners that there was an increased number of ladybugs outside, however, we were surprised no one checked the inside of the house to vacuum the many bugs before we checked in. This home comfortably fit our family of 6, but I would not recommend it for more people than that even though the listing says it can accommodate more.

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
