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.
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.

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.
