Boat Launch - There are two public boat launches, First is about 1 mile further east on Mercer Lake rd., watch for signs on your left. Second and slightly easier option is about 1 mile West on Mercer Lake rd to Bayberry rd turn right then an immediate right onto Archer Ln. Launch is at the end of the road, narrow road so best to back down Archer to water.
Mercer is a good sized lake listed at 341acres on the north side of Florence. Great largemouth bass fishing, yellow perch, bullhead catfish, seasonally stocked rainbow trout and some sunfish as well..
With a boat, you can poke around the long Dowell and Dahlin arms and many small coves and points around the lake. There are standing and fallen trees around the shoreline, as well as a fair number of docks, that add to the potential cover for bass and panfish.
What’s nearby:
This home is a quick drive from multiple access points to the Oregon Dunes and ocean beaches including the popular access just out South Jetty Road. The charming Old Town section of the city is filled with lovely shops, cafes, galleries, and restaurants. You will also be minutes from numerous trailheads for hiking or mountain biking. The coastal forests flourishing in Douglas fir and Sitka spruce extend nearly to the Ocean. Some trails wind up, over, and through sand dunes, offering hikers the opportunity to experience the unique natural wonders of this area.

Get your adrenalin flowing on a nearby dune buggy tour or with an ATV rental, or go crabbing from the Siuslaw Bay public fishing pier at the end of South Jetty road where crabbing is excellent from late spring until the fresh water from winter rains force the crabs out to the ocean.

This house is a STUNNER! We were in Florence for a work event, and coming home to this place made it all worthwhile. WOW. Comfortable home, beautiful and peaceful setting, and the owners have thought of everything. Highly recommend and have already booked our return!

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and that you are coming back to see us again.
It was within walking distance to another cabin our family needed and it was excellent in every way. The accommodations were excellent and we would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. Incredible location! It was private and quiet with beautiful views while being accessible to everything we wanted to visit and see. We loved the dock and seeing the wildlife around the home. We appreciated how clean and well appointed your home was. It was a lovely vacation & we hope to come back again.
Everything was very nice. Kitchen and house stocked VERY well. Could have used 1 more comfortable chair in tv area. We loved it and want to come back. THANK YOU!*Side note, the liquid dishwashing soap should be upgraded to Dawn...didn't work well :)
We have stayed at this property before and looove it. Beautiful views and the house comes with all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay. Can’t wait go back!
Location was perfect! Home is beautiful and our favorite from our entire vacation! Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Best rental we've done in 20+ years--already booked it again!
My wife and I--along with her elderly parents--stayed 3 nights in the early spring of 2026 at this amazing lakefront home. It was the last part of a 17-day trip around Oregon and Northern California. It's a good thing we didn't start here because we might have cancelled the trip and just stayed in this home on the lake! Cool design of a house, great views and landscaping surround the property, very clean, very private, all three beds were comfortable, and we just enjoyed sitting there looking out at the beautiful surroundings. I've already booked a surprise return trip in the fall with my wife.
We cooked a lot there because the three picnic tables--each with different views depending on time of the day--were better "restaurants" than paying a fortune to get a shotgun view from a pricey, crowded place eating out. There were plenty of dishes--a rarity in almost all places we rent--that made it so we didn't have to run the dishwasher every day. Our only complaint is that the microwave and oven seem ancient and VERY SLOW to heat things up, but we weren't in a hurry because we just loved being there. (And yes, it's very central to amazing beaches, hikes, and state parks but the home itself is a destination!). LOVED IT!
The home is amazing. The kitchen is very well outfitted and the house is immaculate. Probably the best VRBO we've ever stayed in and we've stayed in many.
This house is absolutely gorgeous! It’s incredibly well stocked kitchen and the bedrooms are roomy. We spent time by the firpit roasting marshmallows and grilled a delicious meal as well. The lake and property are beautiful. I will definitely come back if in the area.
A very nice house, next to the lake with all the amenities you could want. Very quiet and peaceful with easy access to lots of activities nearby. Wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Great vacation home
We planned our trip less than 2 months before going. The easy of reserving the house was fantastic.
Check-In was super easy and we were able to check- in early, which was very accommodating. The house is located on the lake with gorgeous views. We very much enjoyed our stay and plan on returning soon.
We had a wonderful stay! The property was gorgeously appointed on a picturesque lake setting just a short drive from great restaurants. We loved our visit and would recommend this home without reservation!
Beautiful home, with a great view, right on the lake. House was very well supplied with everything you could need. Would definitely recommend this place.

We loved our stay here! The lakeside location is incredible. The views are stunning. There are plenty of fun activities nearby: horseback riding, sandboarding, hikes, etc. I hope we make it back someday!

Lake House stay
Another wonderful stay for the family at Mercer Lake! We got good use out of the paddle board and fire pit and WiFi, of course. It was quite chilly and windy, though!
Only two things to mention — the slider screen by the kitchen is in need of repair and the ice maker isn’t working. Otherwise well equipped for everything we needed.
