The cabin was amazing with enough room(s) for all of us, we had 9 adults and 5 children ages 3 mos.-11 years. The amenities, including a fully stocked kitchen, tv's in every room, wifi access throughout, and very comfortable living spaces (including bunkhouse) throughout, were above expectations. The only reason we did not give a 5 star is due to the water. I inquired about the ability for small children to dip their toes in the water from the man made beach on the property and did not get a clear answer about the actual state of the water - mucky, weedy, extremely unsafe for small children. We put our own boat in and it was so shallow, it churned up mud and debris from bottom of the lake. I would highly recommend this cabin but definitely not the bay it sits on.

Lovely Retreat

We had our annual mini-reunion of 4 siblings and their spouses at R&R to coincide with the wedding of a great granddaughter/ grand niece. While the wedding celebration was fantastic, our stay at R&R was the star of the show. The property is very spacious, well built, designed and furnished, conveniently located on Cree Bay, and reasonably well-maintained. Although there are close-by neighbors on both sides, R&R is well-shielded by trees and shrubbery, giving it a feel of remoteness/privacy. All in all, we were very pleased with R&R and would recommend it to virtually anyone.

Lovely Cabin

Very nice home. Unique layout with outside entry to Bunk House. Those midnight runs to the bathroom in the house weren't too bad! Lots of amenities and attention to detail. We really would have loved to use the wood fireplace in the living room, but it was off limits. The kitchen was very well stocked. A big plus for me. The basement was large enough for our group to gather. We opened our Christmas presents there.

Enjoyed by Extended Family of Six

Good location on quiet bay on Pelican Lake. Large lawn for games. Lily pads were interesting & not an issue while boating to the main lake. No swimming on property but it worked well to use our rented pontoon as a swimming platform at nearby Bird Island. Inside of house was clean, however the screen porch was nasty and was not used. Bunk house nice but we did not use due to small size of our group. Adequate supply of kitchen utensils, hand & dish soaps, toilet paper. Three kitchen outlets were dead. Property manager responded quickly when brought to his attention. Deck chair cushions have seen their better day. Fire pit was completely filled with ashes and junk so we did not use. Tree branches hanging 4 feet over driveway so only 30% could be used. Overall, our family enjoyed the property. This was our second year staying here.
