Great location in the northwoods! Mercer is a great little town, Echo Lake is beautiful, clean and relatively quiet. The Shack was very clean and well appointed with dishes, linens and other supplies. The beds are ok, one’s very plush the other is very firm. It’s an old house, so all the smells and creaky floors that go with old homes are present… which we loved. No AC… can get hot but they have lots of fans in the property. There is WiFi and a smart TV. But you will probably just sit in front of one of the big picture windows looking down at the lake! Loved the screened in porch for outdoor meals as well! The beach/lake frontage is ample! We found sand rakes in the shed and were able to clean the beach area for our kiddo (was a fair amount of washed up vegetation) and we really enjoyed that area all weekend. The Dock is sturdy and was a great tie-off for the 16’ fishing boat we brought. There’s also an extension cord running from the shed to the dock for charging boat batteries overnight. Appreciate the rocker at the end of the dock, was a great place to watch sunsets. I think the path down to the beach from the house could use some TLC. The pavers move under your feet and create a hazard for older and younger folks making their way down. Overall great stay!!!
