Deer Lake Resort is located in one of the last wilderness areas in the Midwest, Vilas County Wisconsin.  Thousands of lakes and streams make Vilas amap top vacationland!  Open year round, we are in the heart of the north woods and the Lake Superior snow belt.  Forty minutes north of Minocqua or forty five minutes northwest of Eagle River, Deer Lake Resort is at the Gateway to the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan).

Rob and Terry Hillerich purchased Deer Lake in 1990 as a summer home.  With many requests from friends and relatives to bring up families for vacations, we started renting the resort in 1992.  This tradition of sharing the resort has continued since then.  When you are a guest at the resort, you are sharing our home (with us not there!).  You only need to bring your personal items such as clothes, toiletries, food, drinks, fishing tackle, and consumables like toilet paper, paper towels, and body soap.  We supply all your bedding, towels, pillows, blankets, kitchen ware, and fishing boats with electric trolling motors and batteries.  

In addition to the 8 bedrooms, there is a bunk room with 7  beds.  Depending on the makeup of your group, 15 to 30 people can be very comfortable. The large kitchen is newer and the entire house has seen significant improvements over the last few years.  This is a housekeeping resort- you leave the house for the next group as clean as you would like to find it upon your arrival. All cleaning supplies are included.  See the "indoors" tab for more details.

Deer Lake is a 40 acre catch and release lake that is 30 feet deep and sports excellent walleye, largemouth bass, northern, and pan fishing.  Our sand beach has a gradual drop off and is great for kids.  To keep this a wilderness lake, no gas motors are allowed.  For those with a motor boat, our property has a dock on 528 acre Birch Lake.  The property is 500 acres of densely wooded rolling wilderness which completely surrounds Deer Lake. There is no one else on the lake but us.  We also own another 650 acres of land to the south and west of our main piece which is available.  This adds up to 1250 acres and several miles of hiking/cross country ski trails wind through our woods for your enjoyment.  See the "outdoors" tab for more details.   

The closest town is Manitowish Waters (8 miles south) which has several restaurants and bars, 3 gas stations with fishing bait, and a full service grocery store with liquor.
