The Lake House on Pelican Lake

"The Lake House" has a beautiful view of Pelican Lake. Many large oak trees surround the house, which gives you a very cozy feeling and has a homie atmosphere. The property is just 5 minutes away from Glenwood, where you can have everything that you need, Also, it is 20 minutes south of Alexandria, Minnesota. Lake Minnewaska, is between Glenwood and Starbuck, which is only 5 minutes away. There are great eating establishments, which have dining by the lake.

There is a deck where you can relax and also, a bench on the dock, if you would like to be on the water. The lake has a public boat landing, if in case you want to bring your own boat where you can tie it to our dock which is just in our backyard. You never know if you will catch a bass, northern or walleye. The lake has pretty good fishing spots. The wildlife is plentiful in the area. It's common to see deer, geese or pheasants in the front yard.

This property is also available for Fall hunting or Winter rental, if you would care to go ice fishing.

July 4th Vacation
Our family had an awesome time. The house and location were perfect. It was quiet and peaceful. Marilyn was so accommodating. She was so helpful. We did a lot of fishing, caught most of the fish off of the dock. We will be back. Marlene

Amazing house and Hostess!
We had a wonderful time on our stay. Although it was hot and the fish weren’t biting, we had a great time. The house was very nice and clean and at a great location. We will definitely go back.

Wedding weekend
The house and property were wonderful and everything we wanted. Only down fall is the lake is not one to swim in as it is muddy and full if weeds. Other than that, I would recommend it to all.

Peaceful Getaway
We had a great time here and Marilyn was awesome with great communication. Our boat lost battery on lake and she called a neighbor to come pull us back to shore! Everything was seamless and just what we needed! We will be back! 🎉❤️🚤

Good visit
We had a nice visit and the cabin worked very well for us when we visited family for the holidays. The apartment was warm, even though it was sub-zero weather. The neighbor also did a nice job keeping the driveway clear of snow.

Nice lake home on Pelican Lake.
We were at this lake home at a very unusual time as there was a real lack of water due to drought conditions and heat so that we could not dock our boat or rented pontoon. Other than that, we had a very nice time. Lake Minnewaska is real close and has two great beaches and launch areas. Kitchen was well equipped with dishwasher, etc. We enjoyed the large deck, central air and ceiling fans. Thank you for excellent communication too.

Nice location. Unfortunately due to lack of rain, lake was extremely low and weedy, not owners fault. Enjoyed our stay!!

New to VRBO and not to VRBO Standards or Expectations
This review is not written lightly, this property truly has great potential to be a destination VRBO. The owners are new so we stayed at the destination (there was literally no where else in a 60 mile radius that could have accommodated us at short notice) and tried to let them know several items that were not up to the level of expectations we have become accustomed to with other VRBOs we have rented. Things like the multiple calls/texts to talk over check in process and what you can and cannot use or what the property does or does not offer. We suggested more details on the listing and lists of guest expectations etc, to this they responded "well I called and told you", again telling one guest all the details is not convenient for the that guest or the rest. We let them know the property's cleanliness was not good, multiple cobwebs in and outside the home, remnants of rodents, after the "cleaning person" had been there, a problem that should probably be taken care of prior to renting out again. This was not received well, which was disappointing. The price for the cleanliness, ease of check in/communication was too high in our opinion. As stated, this was not written lightly as it could be a great place with a little effort from the owners.

Family gathering
The basement part of the house has a big open area that has a queen bed, and a pull out futon. At the time of our booking, that wasn't clearly depicted in photos, but it was explained verbally on the phone. The owners were there to greet us and make sure to explain very thoroughly everything we needed to know. We were called almost daily during our visit. The kitchen is very well-equipped, as well as towels, linens, etc. It was a perfect set up for our group! The lake was weedy, and not suited for swimming from the dock. We did catch some fish from our boat! There is a great public swimming beach about 10 minutes away in Starbuck!
