Stepaway Vacation Rentals-Sweet Verna
This amazing, family-friendly home on private lake Verna is amazing and makes a great retreat to escape to!
Enjoy terrific views of Verna Lake from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and spacious, open deck. The deck is a great space to gather and enjoy the outdoors with plenty of patio chairs, a gas grill, and a convenient outdoor dining area to enjoy all of your meals .
Sweet Verna has all the comforts of home . 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths offer enough space for everyone!
Another great spot is the firepit - don't hesitate to snuggle up with your favorite blanket while the storyteller of the group amuses everyone in the group with amazing stories and tales.

The lake is beautiful, the house included kayaks, a canoe, and pedal boats that you can use to fish, sometimes hooking a bass on the first cast! Fish from the dock every day !

Our family definitely enjoyed their stay at Sweet Verna. The home was spotless, welcoming, and beautifully decorated in the Up North Vibe. My grandchildren are excited about fishing, and they were very not disappointed! When I had a question I was answered promptly! All in all many family memories were made!

Reviewer Comments:
The place was great to stay in for six adults. The lake was ok to fish from the dock but unusable by boat because you couldn’t put the boat in because the launch was in bad shape. So we had to go to another lake to fish if we wanted to use the boat, but the house was in good shape. It was clean. The staff was excellent to work with. We enjoyed our stay very much.
