We love this property! Our second stay here and the home is laid out well and super comfortable for up to 4 couples. Living space upstairs and down, walls of windows face the lake on both levels. Large kitchen for hosting meals. Super peaceful and serene. We'll be back!

Otter Banks is SUPURB!
This home is a 10!,! We were ALL impressed with this home, from the views to the beds! The family loved the Kayaks, and even watching the rain from several viewpoints! The only suggestion is for those unfamiliar with the area, (we had one of those) planned on the 19 minute walk to Old Town that took almost 3 hours, and there was no need for bathing suits since there was no stated hot tub. Great trip and home! We loved it!

Has it all
We have rented this house multiple times over the years, gathering together our family friends from up and down the West Coast. Our group has also gone to Hawaii and Sunriver, but our favorite is this house on Mercer Lake. Having kayaks, paddle boards, air hockey, a dock, a deck, and a beautiful kitchen/living room seating area makes this a perfect place for our 3 families to reconnect each year! Thank you for keeping it awesome through the years!

Lakeside luxury
Beautiful lakeside home for a large family or small group getaway. The lake and dock was wonderful even on a cool rainy weekend. The vibe is perfect for small craft and the garage is loaded with lots of opinions. Very nicely outfitted and large kitchen and dining room.
A few things to consider, despite any website that suggests there is a hot tub, there is no hot tub. And the house is cold as heck when you arrive and take a very long time to warm up even with every heat source maxed.
Don't forget a hike up Enchanted Valley!

Amazing Stay
What an amazing time we had as a family! The home and the property are just beautiful! They’ve thought of everything with this property… Everything you need is there! Our two granddaughters, ages seven and 10 were in the lake nonstop. They enjoyed the kayaks very much! We got so lucky with the weather. It was 80° and beautiful. An added bonus was for the deer that stopped by to see us one morning and especially the northern lights that we were so fortunate to see. This was a vacation our family needed, and we want to say thank you so much!

Great views!
We had a great getaway and really enjoyed this home. I had asked a couple questions before we came and they were answered in a timely matter but unfortunately was wrong information. The pull out sofa is not in the master bedroom, it is in the upstairs living room and there were way more than 2 kayaks included in the rental! We had brought our own and wish we could’ve had that stress relieved.
Overall it was a great stay!

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.

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

Peaceful and Perfect
Both with your welcoming and beautiful home and serene lake and view, Otter Banks provided the peaceful respite as well as perfect separation of space our three generations needed. We brought our canoe and also found the provided kayaks to be a great hit with the 8 yr old twins and adults alike. The boys spent quiet hours fishing off the dock and caught three different species of fish! We all enjoyed the retro video games, board games and book choices in the evening. And as soccer fans, being able to get the Timbers game one evening was a real hit as we all fit on the large curved couch on the upper level. Otter Banks is a home to cherish!

Extended Family vacation
We were looking for a family friendly home where our adult children, grandchildren Aunt and Uncle could all have fun. We found it! Otter Banks is awesome. The house is beautiful the property and lake are so enjoyable to just watch the day go by. The accommodations were very nice. Plenty of room for family or alone time. The kitchen is well stocked as well as tons of games and books. Not to mention the kayaks. The property owners really thought of everything. I think I can safely say that our family loved it there and would love to go back again. We saw deer every day and we did see an otter cruising around one evening.
The beach and the town of Florence were a few min drive from the house and was close to beautiful scenery. We loved it!

Thanksgiving week at Otter Banks
A REAL STUNNER!! We had an amazing Thanksgiving week at Otter Banks. There was eight of us aged 9 to 87, and a great time was had by all. We played a lot of the games provided and really enjoyed just hangin out watching football. We have traveled extensively around the nation and this was the nicest propertywe have rented. The photos do not do it justice, which is something we have frequently found to be the opposite.
The house was completely stocked with everything needed. Thankfully they even had a turkey roaster pan. More towels than we could ever use along with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. We hope to come back in the summer to use the kayaks and enjoy more of the outdoors. This trip was to relax in the cozy house and gaze out to the gorgeous scenery. A family of four deer wandered thru each morning which was a treat for us .

Pure Joy
Though we encountered a rocky start, having not received the door code upon arrival; then not being able to contact anyone to help, the owner was kind enough to reach out through the Ring doorbell and allow us access into the home.
That being said, once inside, the home was everything as listed on the website. Clean, beautiful lake view and comfortably appointed.
It was nice to discover there were lake towels on hand and an oblong outdoor dining table, for eating outside, under the garage deck. Also, extra deck chairs for lakeside seating. The kayaks, paddle board and peddle boat were all put to use.
This was our first time at Otter Banks. And I'm certain, not our last. It was pure joy.
