Mercer Lake:

Lake access - The resort across the road is for resort guests however if you rent a pontoon boat for 150.00 you get all day access to the resort amenities including a swimming area, beach front, water trampoline.. They also have other water toy rental options. If you bring your own boat ther is a public boat lauch just before the the resort, Take Mercer lake road just a couple hundred feet to Bayberry Ln., turn left then imediatly right onto Archer Ln., ramp is streight ahead.

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. Take a scenic drive up Hwy 101 to Heceta Head Lighthouse where free tours are offered daily. 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.

Enchanting stay but needed more communication from host!
The house is GORGEOUS!! It has the WOW factor the second you pull into the driveway. The lake access is amazing, the view from the living room is stunning. The entire place was crystal clean, the rooms spacious and cozy, the primary bathroom was a dream with a large soak tub, heated floors, and rain shower. Where things fell short: -Host didn't respond back to questions about the below issues for 1.5 days, and barely responded in general (which was odd because they were very communicative when booking) -The fireplace didn't work -Couldn't adjust the heat for the house and needed to use space heaters -Only one TV worked, and it had one channel option

Beautiful house, beautiful view
Went for a long weekend with my book club friends. The house is gorgeous, spacious & comfortable. We used the kayaks & enjoyed leisurely paddles around the lake. The house is lovely & the view was mesmerizing. We all want to come back. What a gem!

Excellent house
I have no complaints, other than I am shocked that for a VRBO house and do you have an emergency issue or need to get a hold of someone after hours, he will probably never received any response. During the three states that my family and I have had at this house, I called the emergency line more than a dozen times for a few items, and only received a call back one time about 12 hours later, then the rest of the calls I never received a response. My experiences at VRBO houses has been exceptional regarding communication, I always have someone that responds to me usually within five minutes or less but don’t expect a response at this house. Otherwise I have no complaints and it is probably the best house I’ve ever stayed in.

Perfect house
I can’t say enough good things about this property. I have stayed in many rental homes in travel for business regularly and this is the cream of the crop. The only improvements that would be possible far better communication from Property Mgt., and getting the heating and cooling situation figured out. My family and I stayed at this house in early November and it was so hot in the house even with all of the individual room heaters turned off that we had to have the windows in the front door open during our entire stay. Moving forward a couple of weeks, we stayed here for the week of Thanksgiving, and the house was much cooler as the temperatures outside dropped, and even with the assistance of space heaters, it was generally chili the entire time. The temperature in the house seems to be one extreme or the other. The fireplace ran out of propane just before Thanksgiving day, so the last four days of our trip we had no functioning fireplace and actually the fireplace was what was keeping us comfortable and without it we were very chilly. Having stayed at a number of Verbo properties, I have to say I’m always impressed with access to a host. I have really gotten spoiled with great hosts at VRBO properties, but I must say, during my first day, I reached out to the VRBO host several times, and never received a response. During the second trip, I did not get a response from the VRBO host either. Better communication needed. I could see more but not enough character space.

Incredible Views
Otter Banks at Mercer Lake was all that we had hoped for our family getaway. This home is amazing, views are incredible, plenty of space for all of us to spread out and the kitchen is well stocked. We even ventured out in the kayaks one not so cold morning even though it was November. Emily was great to work with and when we requested extra towels they were there in a jiffy and plenty of them. My only suggestion would be to add a few cozy throw blankets in the living room to cuddle up with and a few extra blankets in the closest for the beds for those of us who like to sleep in a cooler room.
