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,

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

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!!

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.

Awesome

Our family enjoyed two nights at the John’s cabin. It’s well equipped for kids and has a great outdoor set up. The water is clear, the sand is soft, and chairs are perfect for lounging by the lake. Beautiful sunset one night too. Minor things that may be helpful to others, pack bug spray, there were some biting flies one evening. Bring body wash/soap, and drinking water. We assume it’s well water with high iron, it does have a smell & off putting taste though. We had to run to the nearby store for water. The kid kayaks were super fun, an adult sized 1 or 2 person kayak would be a great future addition. Mahalo for a memorable trip!

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.

Amazing beach, but poorly stocked house

First and foremost, this beach is the best we've ever been to. The sugar sand shore that stretches for 100 yards out waist high with crystal clear water is spectacular. It was perfect for young kids on kayaks and paddlebaords. The outside shower was a huge bonus as well. The house on the other hand was just okay and not well stocked. I woke up the first night in the basement to water dripping on me from the ceiling during a rain storm. Water was also leaking from the doorway to the basement bedroom. The basement rooms were subsequently musty and damp for the week. When I contacted the owners to let them know the next day, they completely brushed it off which made me think this has happened before. The house was mostly clean, but my sister did find a prescription painkiller under the side of her kid's bed. Luckily the preschoolers didn't find it! Lastly, the owners skimped on little things that were very frustrating. We went to grill one night and had to run to town to fill the empty propane tank, only to use a fraction of it and leave it for the next guest. We also had to make multiple trips to town for supplies like toilet paper, paper towels and laundry detergent. The supplies they skimped on only made it half way through the week for our 9 guests. I saw the owners response to a similar review and the owner claimed that rentals always do this. This has never been my experience with any other rentals and was very off putting.
