Scandinavian modern lakefront home with dock. Bring the family, boat, and pets! Spacious home boasts lake views from nearly every window, and faces West for amazing sunsets! Walk on the beach, then play in the warm waters of Devils Lake. Ask about current occupancy limits and additional infants.
Brannholm is a 1973 Scandinavian modern lodge featuring cedar walls, knotty pine ceilings, and windows along the south and west sides of the home, providing lake views from nearly every room. The home has new comfortable furnishings, but preserves the fun of the original design's nautical, retro rustic, and Scandinavian details. At 3200 square feet, it is one of the most spacious homes available on the lake.
The great room is around 1000 square feet, with an open floorplan centered on a modern rock gas fireplace. One side has ample seating and 75 inch flat screen TV, perfect for watching sports or a web meeting for a corporate retreat. the other side has lakeview dining for the whole family.

Use the dock for your boat, or to launch your canoe. We provide 2 kayaks, and life vests. There is a fenced dog run and upper lot where you can play croquet, volleyball, or toss a football. Secure storage is available for your bikes or other gear. A public boat launch is less than a mile away.
The house is all yours! We have prepared extensive instructions and a kitchen map, but are happy to answer any questions during your stay by text, phone, or email.
This home is close to the beaches of Lincoln city, and is on the less populated East Side of Devils Lake for sunset views. Devils lake is much warmer than the Pacific, and is popular for swimming, canoeing/kayaking/SUP, boating, fishing, waterskiing, wakeboarding and wave running. The lake effect gives us sun even when the beach or the valley is fogged in! Most coastal attractions are an easy day trip from this location.
Birds abound here in all seasons. In summer, you'll see hummingbirds, osprey, swallows, egrets, herons, kingfishers, and other water birds. In winter, there are eagles, owls, blackbirds, mergansers, grebes and ducks. Rare visitors may make an appearance, such as pileated woodpecker, or the northern spotted owl.
The Siuslaw National Forest is just uphill from our home, with old logging roads now trails that can be explored on foot or mountain bike. The forest is home to all kinds of creatures, deer, elk, owls, black bear, cougar, and coyotes. Bring a map if you explore this remote woods and keep in mind that the wildlife may venture down the mountain, so keep an eye on the little ones and pets.
There is private parking here for 4 cars in our turnaround. Public transit for Lincoln county is about 2 miles away. Taxicabs in Lincoln City typically go anywhere local for $10. Airport shuttle from PDX once a day, around $40/person. "Like" our (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) page to see posts about activities in the area, or to post pictures of your trip.
