About this house rental

Vance Bay Getaway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sitting on the edge of Vance Lake, this home is located in the heart of Manitowish Waters. Inside, you'll be greeted by a large living space with a wood-burning fireplace, where you can relax with your whole group of vacationers. Prepare meals together in the kitchen and indulge in a variety of home entertainment options, including a PS4 and a dartboard. Outside, you can play with your dogs in the yard or utilize this ideal location to kayak (two are provided), swim, or boat in the lake!

From your front door, you're just a short walk to plenty of shopping and dining in Manitowish Waters. The local bike and snowmobile trails are accessible at the end of the driveway (with four adult-size bikes provided), so adventures begin the second you step outside. Cast a line in Vance Lake and try your hand at landing some of the resident musky, panfish, bass, pike, walleye, and sturgeon. Additional fun on the water awaits in the Manitowish Chain of Lakes, accessible down the road.

Great location for biking! Yard and Lake weren’t very appealing.

Over all the stay was wonderful and the house was perfect for what we were needing. The only negative thing was the stairs to the basement. They were very steep
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
This is a corporate property and it shows. It's obvious that there is no one that cares about this place. I've stayed at many VRBOs all around the country and this place was the saddest by far. It's like someone furnished it by spending one day shopping at rummage sales. Beds are fine for kids but not too many adults will find them comfortable. Couch needs to be thrown out just be sure to not look under it because it's gross. There were dishes and silverware in the cabinets that maybe had been rinsed under the faucet before being put away. Silverware was dirty and several plates still had egg and bacon residue on them. It is on the water but getting out on the water is not easy and you're not going to be swimming in it. More of a pond than a lake. If you're looking for a place to crash and not planning on spending much time here it'll be fine. If you're looking for a place to while away the days at a lake house look elsewhere. I could could go on and on but it's great location and that's about it. Make sure you Google reviews for Vacasa porperty management before you book. We definitley should have
