Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mercer

I've stayed at Calley's places many times. You can beat the ski-in/ski-out location. She has made some nice upgrades to the units over the years and always does a great job with the communication. Her property manager is a great guy and is very responsive if issues arise. You can't go wrong staying here.

Great place to stay at. Nothing beats being able to just walk out of you back door and be on the ski hill. Has everything anyone would need plus more.

Comfortable, clean second floor condo a short drive from Bayfield with wooded view from kitchen window. Working jacuzzi and adequate cooking supplies. Jon was quick to respond to questions.

The house was exactly as described in a beautiful setting, right on the ski hill. Beautiful property. All amenities included as described except for soap and shampoo for the shower I recommend bringing your own. The host was extremely responsive and great to work with. We will definitely recommend and planning on making this an annual trip. There are a series of hikes and 5 waterfalls just down the road about 15 minutes. We had a great stay

This is a very nice and spacious place in a convenient building whether you are skiing at Black River (which is ski in - ski out) or Jackson Creek Summit which is only 10 minutes away and has easy parking. Calley is super responsive and easy to work with.

It was a perfect place for a get-a-away! Clean and comfortable and the option of kitchenware was sufficient for some basic cooking. I would definitely recommend for a single person or a couple, maybe not for a family with multiple children; everything is so close together it would be hard to not wake up the kids or vs-versa.

Tim’s place was very relaxing for the early weekend getaway! Would def stay with host again!

Calley is a really great host. This place is clean and comfortable with two full bedrooms and bathrooms. It’s super convenient to Black River. True ski in / ski out. Easy drive to Jackson Creek and other local areas. These are some of the best accommodations in the area with a great host. Highly recommend! We will be back.

This was a short trip for my wife and 6 y/o son to experience the Northwoods. They are hooked and cant wait to come back again. The accommodations were excellent. Only thing i would ask for would be satellite tv.. A plus in our book.. Tha k you for everything and for sharing your cabin..

I will definitely be back! This location is great! We were able to experience the fall colors. Right on the water with great experience for sunset/sunrise. The cabin was extremely clean. Mick and Lollie provided excellent recommendations for local attractions, places to eat, activities, and pictures to show the space. It was a great experience!!

Hemlock Haven was an absolute gem to stay at. The place was very nice, with really nice furnishings and very well stocked. The drive in is just gorgeous and very private. We walked our dog off leash daily and never ran into anyone. Felt like we had the world to ourselves. Fishing was pretty good too. We caught walleye, perch, northern and a few small Muskie. Bob was so helpful and gave us lots of tips and places to try out. The out door deck in the back is so cool and where we spent lots of time cooking, eating, and listening to music. We never turned on the tv once! It is tight to go up to the master bedroom which is accessed by a spiral staircase. We stayed in the bunk room because we didn’t want to leave our senior dog downstairs alone in a strange place, so we had to bring our luggage upstairs as there really isn’t anywhere to put anything downstairs. It was impossible to get my luggage up but managed to move some stuff around and make it work. This was the only negative! 5 stars!

We enjoyed our stay to soak up a few more sunny days of summer. Downtown was extremely walkable and the view of the lake was gorgeous. The space was comfortable for relaxing after a day of adventure and had everything we needed. The decor really provided a cabin and “Up North” feel.

We were able to unwind and relax. There was a large picture window facing the lake. It was not unusual to see a doe with her fawn eating clover through the picture window early in the morning. We played pool in the evening and hung out. There were trails we explored and we hunted mushrooms. We mostly just took pictures of the mushrooms. We left the mushrooms for the wildlife to eat. There is always something to do at the Ruffed Grouse Lodge. Or not if you just wish to relax.

Quiet, restful, a country retreat that was just what we needed. Overlooking a beautiful lake, horses checking us out, great place for the dog to go for a walk (leashed of course, didn’t want the horse and dog to mix it up), Kathryn’s place was charming, cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

We had an excellent stay at Charles place. Very peaceful quiet place to stay. House was very clean with everything needed for our stay provided in the house. Host communicated very well, would recommend staying at this cabin!

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible home. It truly stands out as one of a kind, with so much amazing stuff to admire. The property is extremely well set up. We spent a lot of time playing hand golf, and the boys enjoyed whiffle ball in the large front yard and swimming. The lake front area is all sand. The kids loved it!!We couldn’t keep them out of the water. The fire pit is right off the water which made for some great sunset campfires. This place is perfect for two families. Between the cottage, the boathouse, and the main house there’s just so much room. The property is just simply fantastic, and I can’t help but feel jealous. Thanks again!

Beautiful and homey. Great fishing and the hosts were wonderful.

Stayed at this lovely home for a short weekend while we did some maintenance on a property we own nearby. Check in was so easy and the hosts would respond to any question within 10 minutes. The house was spotless and the carpets and living room furniture seemed new. Lots of extra towels, blankets and my 10-year old loved the Xbox! Extremely walkable to everywhere in downtown. Highly recommend!

Was such a beautiful place on a beautiful island. The house was so unique and very comfortable, with a beautiful dining table for nightly meals. Gorgeous beach access and lovely quiet streets for morning walks. I loved the person touches and learning a bit about the Payne family. We will come back in the summer!

Jim was extremely responsive to our messages and resolved problems quickly. The lodge itself is beautiful with a great lakefront. We had a wonderful time!

Thank you for hospitality, it’s very clean, cozy and comfortable house. I’m recommend everyone this place 👍👍

Great location and house. Beautiful sunsets across the bay. Air conditioning was helpful for two days. Kelly is very responsive!

Cottage 5 was perfect for a cozy and quiet getaway. Very spacious and clean, also had pretty much everything you would need. Plus the ice cream gift, was a great treat! Thank you!!

The cabin was very charming! Had everything my husband and I needed for our northwoods weekend. Quiet location but very close to area businesses and highways. Wonderful lake views, ample places to sit outside to take in the view.
