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.
