Overview
Quaint and stylish, this dog-friendly Florence vacation rental is tucked away in the woods and sits directly on Mercer Lake. Marcia's Mercer Lake Chateau is the perfect getaway for you and your family looking to relax in pure serenity! Mercer Lake is one of the best places for swimming, fishing, or canoeing, and when you're sitting on the beach watching the kids paddle around in the water, you'll be taken back to those simpler times in life. The beautiful beaches, windswept dunes, and rugged cliffs along the Oregon Coast are just a short drive away. This home is bright and airy, with an open layout and lofted bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the beautiful lake. Step into the living room from the deck, and you'll find a two comfy futons, a fireplace that's great to gather around after a long day outside, and a television that's perfect for the kids who can't miss their Saturday cartoons! There's also free WiFi, so you can easily stay in touch with loved ones back home. In the morning, use the spacious kitchen to whip up some chocolate chip pancakes with a side of fresh-cut strawberries. With all the necessities you need to feed your guests, or perhaps just heat up some leftovers from the night before, you will love having this space to work in. And with a convenient dishwasher, clean up is easy - and maybe you'll even have some help clearing the dishes! The dining room has a beautiful country table with room for six, but you might be tempted to dine al fresco. On the deck overlooking the lake, feel free to relax with a good book while catching some rays, or perhaps enjoy a romantic evening under the stars while treating yourself to a crisp glass of Riesling and a sampling of local Oregon cheeses. When it's time to turn in, head up to the upper-level loft, where you'll find a comfortable queen-sized bed, another television, and a small sitting area where you can fill out your postcards or finish that crossword puzzle while sipping on coffee. Downstairs, the kids will love being able to spread out on the futons while waking up the sunshine trickling in through the trees. There is also one full bathroom with a soaking tub, perfect for relaxing those sore muscles after a day of adventure. And though you may enjoy the feeling of being away from it all, you'll still have conveniences like a washer and dryer for your use! For a relaxing vacation away from it all, yet with all the modern accommodations to make your stay easy and comfortable, this Central Oregon Coast vacation rental is the perfect place to put your feet up! What's nearby: Mercer Lake is the perfect place for fishing. It is open all year and offers some of the best rainbow trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch and bluegill. If you forgot some supplies, no worries, because the Mercer Lake Resort right next door sells bait, tackle, and fishing licenses at their corner store. While you're busy catching dinner, the kids can enjoy the sandy beaches of the lake and a swimming area protected by docks (please be aware the resort does charge some fees for use). This lake is over 340 acres, so you'll never run out of water to explore! On the days you feel like heading into town, downtown Florence is just a short ten-minute drive from this Oregon Coast vacation rental. Stop into one of the little eateries like the Beachcomber Tavern for fish and chips, or the the Waterfront Depot for their famous crab-crusted halibut, and you won't regret it!

This place was terrible. The odor, it was dirty, everything overgrown, flat stinky pillows, gross bedding. Rotting blankets on the dock. Rust in the bathroom. We stayed a few minutes. We were lucky to find another booking nearby. Vacasa said I need to reach out to Avari for a refund. Avari is totally non-responsive and their phone number is disconnected. I waited on hold 40 mins with Vacasa, and was told they had removed this listing from their webpage. That was a lie, it is still there. No decent business should be willing to be connected to this place. For us, we were fortunate to find somewhere else late in the day, 3.5 hours from home. I would hate to think what would happen to someone on a budget or with kids or seniors who end up stuck here. I used to use Vacasa all the time because I figured at least I would know something was clean and safe and in good repair. Not the case anymore. I have been emailing Avari, and I mentioned their phone was disconnected. They replied "there is no need to call". This place needs inspection. It's really bad.
The views of the lake were beautiful.
This spot was perfect for two!
Clean, centralized, and next to a beautiful lake! Great location.
This place DESPERATELY needs improvements. We stayed at this property 4yrs ago and at that time we had already noticed maybe a little paint job would help. But, wow, this place has unfortunately just went down hill. The outside is just a hazard and the inside needs help as well. (Dirty walls, blinds falling apart not sure if the bed was clean) It seems as the owner doesn’t really care about ever fixing the property given that multiple complaints have been made. Would not recommend.
The lake view was beautiful! House is run down and looks nothing like the pictures. The deck to the lake is very sketchy!.
