Cabin was perfect for three family members ! Plenty of beds to choose from. Great space RIGHT on Long Lake! Our winter-turning-to-spring weekend let us see tundra swans doing their springtime dance out on the just-opened lake AND get a last weekend of snowmobiling in. We didnt cook at the cabin but everything was ready to do so. Our questions were responded to promptly and kindly for us first-timers to the Mercer area. Thank you and we will return!

Nice Cabin, Lake, and Area

Cabin was very nice. Kitchen well stocked. Nice view of the Lake. Lots of wildlife and the lake was very good for paddleboarding. We had no need to communicate with the manager. Happy with everything.

Fun up north

Beautiful property but could use some updating. Couldn't lock sliding glass door and the mattresses need replacing (really uncomfortable). And we couldn't figure out wifi or the tv(but we are older women). Had a good time attending Loon day in Mercer

Plenty of space to sleep on a very serene lake

We enjoyed our stay and time on this lake very much. The cabin’s three bedrooms were perfect for my wife and I and our two grown sons. The lake was great to paddle on, and it was nice having kayaks there onsite. The communication with the owner was excellent. The only downside to the cabin is that it does not have enough room in the common area to accommodate the number of persons sleeping there. So no table to eat at for more than two people. We had to bring our lawn chairs inside to have enough places to sit. Otherwise it’s a great little cabin.

Resort review

This property had a nice lake. It was great for fishing, but not great for swimming. We rented the cabin for the week, but when we arrived we found out that they had a communal fire pit and we thought we would have our own. The owners came up Thursday night and so did their family members. We had the owners family walking through our yard looking into our cabin since we had the doors open cause there was no A/C. They also took the fireplace and used our dock. There was no privacy whatsoever, and what was supposed to be a nice family vacation was ruined. We left a day early and would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice family getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Sconnie Seasons

Host profile image

We are just a few Midwesterners who fell in love with the Northwoods and this spot in Mercer on Long Lake in particular. We love being active outdoors all year long and wanted to share our experience with others! A bad day on the lake is still better than a good day in the office.

Why they chose this property

The lake almost feels like a private lake with very little boat traffic. Chances are, you'll see more loons and eagles in a day than boats! We love the view and proximity to the water, and love all of the activities on site and nearby. It's easy to get to ATV and snowmobile trails, local biking and hiking, and the quiet lake is ideal for kayaks and paddleboards.

This three bedroom cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. And you can't beat the proximity and view of the lake! Your cabin includes a small deck outside of the sliding glass patio door and a charcoal grill for your use. Fire pits, docks, firewood and kayaks are all available for all guests on site during your stay.

What makes this property unique

There are a lot of beautiful areas and wonderful lake views in Wisconsin. But there is something truly special about the quiet area where this cabin sits where the loons are your best friends at night.

Your hosts also have family cabins on the resort and may or may not be staying on the property during your stay. Our resort caretakers, Lisa and Tom, do live there year-round and are happy to greet guests and help with anything they can during your stay.

If you have a larger party, we do have two units available for rent on the same resort - perfect for large group getaways!
