Panther Lake Escape

We enjoyed a week of family time on Panther Lake. We were able to bring our fishing boat and tie it to the dock right in front of the camp. Everyone caught multiple fish. Everything at the camp worked as it should. It was very quiet during the week. The grocery store was near enough that restocking essentials was painless. We had one issue that was resolved in a timely manner. We would recommend Miles’ rental to family and friends.

Excellent lake house

Great spot to spend some time with family and friends. House has every toy (boat, kayak, paddle board, paddle wheeler, ping pong table, darts, hot tub, fire pit) for all age ranges to keep the fun meter at high throughout the stay. Love the large dining room table where everyone can comfortably gather and enjoy food and games. Miles was always responsive and a great host. Hope to return in winter when the lake freezes over.

Perfect location on Panther lake

This was a family vacation with all adult children. Very comfortable property with everything you need to enjoy this beautiful lake. The view from the top deck is gorgeous. The water is clear and refreshing. I would, however, not recommend for anyone who has trouble with stairs. The stairs from the top deck down to the water are very steep. My husband did not venture down them. All in all, a beautiful spot.

About the host

Hosted by Miles Lewis

We are Miles and Katherine Lewis. In 1988 Katherine's parents bought a camp on Panther Lake where they enjoyed their summers every year while growing up. Our families were friends since 1997 and we both ended up spending a lot of time at the camp on Panther Lake, our favorite place to be during the summer. In 2010 we got married, started a growing business breeding and training Labradoodles for family pets and service dogs, and soon had four children. When the time was right we knew we wanted a lake house of our own on Panther Lake. We live just minutes away and get over to the lake every chance we get. We are so happy to have you enjoy a little slice of our paradise.

Why they chose this property

One of the larger year round homes on Panther Lake, uniquely situated to see nearly the entire lake as well as amazing sunrises and sunsets. Panther Lake is a quiet relaxing getaway, especially during the weekdays. During the summer the only boats on the lake are those who own property on the lake or their guests. There is no public boat launch on the lake which keeps the traffic limited to those who respect and love this lake the most. The water just off the shoreline is great for swimming and not mucky or rocky. Nice sandy bottom that starts our shallow for young swimmers but is deep enough at the end of the dock to jump right in. The lake warms up quickly as it averages 12-15 feet in most areas. Oftentimes the water is 65 degrees by middle of May. During the warmest parts of the summer water can get into the lower 80s. During the winter the ice gets very thick is fantastic for ice fishing. One of the best ice fishing spots on the lake is right in front of the house.
