Cozy property. Nice beach and location. The kids all got swimmers itch from lake so we left early. No fault of owner, just be aware of it and all it brings.We rented a pontoon and dock was easy to tie to it. Big bed downstairs needs a new mattress, too soft and you kind of roll in the middle of it and not great on the back. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice location.

My husband, daughter & my sister with her family very much enjoyed our stay at the John cabin. The beach was great for the kids & we all loved the water. Erin was very responsive & we couldn’t have been happier. Hoping to come back next summer for longer!

This property provided something for us all….lake recreation, swimming on the beach, playing in the sand, bonfire under the stars, reading in a lounger, board games, beautiful location for biking, walking, and jogging, and TV entertainment as needed. We enjoyed the close proximity to restaurants and stores in Nissea and Crosslake as wel.

Great stay at a beautiful location

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation on Pelican Lake. It was our second time to this cabin. The first was with friends and it was perfect for a getaway and the second was with our family and our parents and it was perfect again. The swimmable lake and all beach lawn make the cabin perfect. Spraying for mosquitos this time around was a huge plus too. Can't wait to go back again.

Relaxing beach-front haven

We always have a great time at "our" cabin! The beach is wonderful and private, and the kids (and the adults!) can play and lounge happily for hours. The cabin is clean and quaint, and we just love staying there! Always fresh and welcoming, and it feels like home. We'll do this for as many years as we can. Thank you!!

Friends weekend with young kids

We stayed here with 4 adults and 4 kids (6 and under). The beach was awesome for the kids to play. We appreciated the sand toys, youth canoes and space for the kids to run around. There was plenty of firewood to use for fires to keep warm in the evenings and roast marshmallows. Overall we had a great time and it was a great place for kids to be able to play all day. A few notes

Although the weather was something to work around, it didn't stop us from finding ways to have fun on the beach, fishing, and playing games. We had a fire on the beach and cooked hotdogs. It was a lovely time

Perfect family vacation at the lake!

This was a gathering of family from Minnesota, Texas and Massachusetts. The home is beautiful, clean and well organized. Plenty of room for all 10 of us! The lake is clear and the beach is soft sand. The host was gracious and quick to respond to questions or address problems. We loved this location!

Wonderful vacation!

This cabin was perfect for our family of 6. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better back yard or view. My five year old loved all of the sand and played for hours with his trucks! We used the kids' kayaks, paddleboat, and volleyball net constantly and even my teens didn't want to leave at the end of the trip. Thanks so much for this memorable trip!!

I do not recommend that holiday home, the attitude is terrible, there are rodents running around on the roof and along the walls, and there are a lot of them, we did not sleep well there, we left the building early for 4 nights, we needed to return earlier, they refused us. Let them be on their conscience,

GREAT GIRLS GET AWAY!

A GROUP OF SIX GIRLS STAYED HERE FOR OUR ANNUAL GIRLS WEEKEND. WE USUALLY STAY AT BREEZY POINT, BUT THIS WAS SO MUCH BETTER. WE NEVER HAD TO LEAVE, BUT IF WE WANTED TO THERE WAS SHOPING AT NISWA WITHING 15 MINUTES. WE GOT SUCH GREAT QUALITY TIME WITH EACH OTHER AND THERE WAS PLENTY OF SPACE AND THINGS TO DO. ALREADY LOOKED TO SEE IF WE COULD BOOK SAME WEEKEND NEXT YEAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS BOOKED....NOT SURPRIZED!

Summer lake getaway

Everything was just as described. Loved the sandy beach and clear shallow water! The boat house with the extra fridge was nice to store our extra food, drinks, and beach stuff. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back! Side note: to no fault of the owners or anything that hurts my review but the public beach next door gets very loud and many pontoons/boats anchor in front of this cabin with blaring music and lots of loud people. If you want peace and quiet you may want to choose someplace else. In the five days we were there it was only really bad one day.
