Make unforgettable vacation memories at this stunning lakefront gem, where seclusion and tranquility reign! Nestled on 13 acres along the shores of Slaughter Bay, this retreat offers an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and all the comforts of home, this haven promises to spoil every guest. Spend your days enjoying unlimited possibilities with a private dock—perfect for boating or swimming in the cool waters of Slaughter Bay. Watch for bald eagles and other wildlife, or stroll among the picturesque maple trees, all while basking in the serene surroundings.

A second dock, conveniently located by the kayaks, provides swimming access, making it a great spot for little ones to splash and play in the water. When hunger strikes, the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, while the full bar is ideal for mixing up special cocktails as the sun sets over the horizon. Gather around the firepit to reminisce with loved ones until the stars come out, then retreat inside to cozy up on the couch and watch a movie on the flatscreen TV, drifting off to sweet dreams of more adventures ahead.

With lake access, there's no shortage of activities—bring your boat or take out one of the three kayaks provided. If you're in the mood for a land adventure, explore the nearby hiking trails, or take a scenic 25-mile drive to Bond Falls Waterfalls. In the winter, the fun continues with cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling on groomed trails. Experience the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure in this peaceful lakeside retreat.

Family vacation
Beautiful home, although not baby proofed for 2 toddlers. A lot of breakable home decor that we had to move to keep the kids from getting hurt. Loved the remote location. Dock that guests can use is in very shallow water, had a difficult time with our boat. No power at the dock either so had to pull the boat each day to power up the trolling motor. Luckily the public boat ramp is very close by.

Northwoods fishing vacation
The location of this property on Lac Vieux Desert offers amazing views and good fishing. The owners have generously made this house a home by decorating and providing comforts of home plus fully stocked kitchenware. Our only issue with Vacasa, which was big, is that the home was not cleaned when we arrived. The cleaning crew did not arrive until after the 4:00 pm check in. The home is in need of maintenance and a deep cleaning that seems to have been overlooked. Broken screen doors, cobwebs, carpet cleaning, and garage door opener not working. The basement bed needs a new Queen mattress as it sinks in. It is a great home, and would give it 5 stars if these issues were addressed.

We had a very nice time in this beautiful rental. Everything needed was there except a beach was mentioned and did not find this for the kids. Enjoyed kayaking and wave runners which we rented from Eagle River which was also an easy ride for shopping and things to do. Recommend this rental and hoping to return.

Good and bad
Location very nice, private and quiet. Our dishwasher worked on and off, tried to call Vasca cell service pretty bad. Fridge and dishwasher dated. Cushions for outside chairs etc all put away we had to haul out set up then put away. Manager scheduled phone installation while we were there.bit of an inconvenience. Couple mattresses uncomfortable. Not much to choose from for TV. Let Vasca know all this and never heard a word back!!! That being said the family wants to give them another shot, there is space and lovely views .

Best family spot ever!!
Our family has not been together for a few years due to covid and we visited together this week. It was a magical reunion week with lots of fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking. The property is gorgeous with lovely seating areas all over. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. The second dock was great for swimming and kayaking. Rented a pontoon boat from hillside, which was easy and great for tubing. Thank you for sharing your property with us. Such a special place.

Our experience was of getting 5 guys together who are scattered around the country. We had the opportunity to utilise a professional fishing guide (Mat Ebert)to go ice fishing for 2 days and we caught so many fish that the gentleman's hands were tired. What a great place to gather for friends and create memories. Thank you so much and we look forward to doing this again
