Panther Lake Waterfront. Dock and deck, on water with hot tub. Rent our boat!

Summer vacation rental on Panther Lake! Also available to rent the rest of the year for snowmobiling, hunting, ice fishing, salmon fishing (just 20 minutes away) or just a relaxing getaway on the lake. Right on the water with your own dock with stairs leading into the water. New for 2021 is a 5 person hot tub in our remodeled three season room! Bring your boat OR... ASK ABOUT RENTING OUR BOAT FOR YOUR STAY! Great fishing, swimming, and water skiing or tubing. Relax on the large two-level deck and watch the sunset by the fire pit. Professionally landscaped. Central air conditioned. Four bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Can sleep 11+.
Huge master bedroom with a king sized bed and master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub. Enough room to setup a blowup mattress and/or crib as well.

This is a wonderful house! This was my second stay here. The inside is really nice and the kitchen is large and stocked with everything you need. You have a beautiful view of Panther Lake (which is super pretty and great for swimming) from the living space. The dining room table can seat 10 people and is perfect for both meals and games. The deck is amazing, with plenty of seating. It's also so nice to be able to sit down by the water and use the boats provided. The host was extremely communicative and helpful. I highly recommend staying here!

Loved the coffee/tea bar. This house is spacious and beautiful; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fun games for the family, along with puzzles. We rented the pontoon boat, which was a ton of fun as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
