As soon as you arrive, you will be greeted by a backdrop of lush greenery and blue waters that will let all of life's worries slip away. Step inside and you will find lake-themed decor, a spacious layout, and plush furnishings to kick back on during any downtime spent indoors.

Great Location, Family Friendly, Quiet Peaceful Setting
Just completed a wonderful two week stay, with our children and grandchildren visiting us part of that time. Our familiarity with Manitowish Waters goes back decades “above the dam” on the chain of lakes. Vance Lake Retreat is a “gem” below the dam. The location is outstanding - walking distance to downtown stores, restaurants, bars and entertainment, close to the paved bike paths, and the town park with a public access boat ramp on Rest Lake. Vance Lake is peaceful and quiet. We kayaked, biked, and walked every day. Discovering the Manitowish river down stream from the dam was great. Lots of wildlife. During our two week stay we saw eagles, river otter, fox, deer, and river sturgeon. The grandkids had a blast swimming on the floating water mat (provided along with four kayaks, a canoe, and all paddles, and PFDs.) Vance Lake Retreat was clean, well-stocked, with a great view of the Lake. It is very private with a large lot/green space for yard games. We had a minor issue on the morning after check-in when we discovered the coffee pot was not working. I called VACASA’s 1-800 # and the support person promptly relayed the issue to Brian, their local maintenance person. He called promptly and said he would be at our place in 30 to 45 minutes. He showed up with a new coffee pot. Brian was very personable, and informative. I found VACASA’s website, booking process, and support staff great to work with. Not only would we consider renting Vance Lake Retreat again, we have already booked two weeks for next summer.

Nice comfortable place in a good location
House was immaculate (except for a moldy shower curtain liner, so we used the other shower). Comfortable king bed and 2 full baths, as well as 2 other bedrooms. Kitchen was well-stocked. There were even toys in the closet. Very easy access (2 min drive) to Pea Patch, Manny's, Angler's and Aurora Borealis, grocery store, and hardware store. I tried contacting the person Vacasa named as my contact about the curtain, but never got a response. We also had wifi issues (which turned out to be a region-wide issue) and called the 1-800 number, but no one got back to us about that either. Overall, I would stay at this house again.

Great Winter Getaway
Vance Lake Retreat was a great place for our winter getaway. The house has plenty of room for sleeping. The kitchen is large a open. So entertaining was easy and perfect. The master bed was really comfortable. Plan on sleeping in. The view from the living room of Vance Lake is awesome. It is very quit and peaceful around there. It is a short distance off the main road but you would think you were miles from anywhere. The snowmobile trails are a very short distance away. So you can easily ride there and back with out having to trailer the snowmobiles. There are also plenty of ski hills a short drive away. The restaurants are a minute away and all really good. I can only imagine what you could do here during the summer. I highly recommend Vance Lake Retreat. Very very nice place.
