Pelican Lake Cabin w/ Breathtaking Sunset Views!

A peaceful retreat awaits at this Merrifield 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental house, with room for the whole family. Nestled on the shores of Pelican Lake near Nisswa, this quaint abode provides a private dock, beach, firepit, and grill. The house also features in-unit laundry and free WiFi. Relish days of swimming, boating, and fishing on the 8,000 acres of water along with dining at delicious local restaurants. Discover the beauty of the Pequot Lakes during your visit to central Minnesota!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1 (Marcia's Room): Full Bed | Bedroom 2 (Sassy's Room): Full Bed | Bedroom 3 (The Mae & Jane Room): Queen Bed | Living Room: Sleeper Sofa

Arrive at your peaceful lake getaway in this historic cabin! The love for this 5-generation cabin is evident through its well-maintained structure and property. Numerous large windows allow natural light to illuminate the rustic decor found throughout the 1,250-square-foot interior while also providing guests with incredible views of Pelican Lake.

You'll feel right at home in the light and airy living room. Enjoy cooking on the novel fold-out stove in the fully equipped kitchen, the same stove in Elvis Presley's own Graceland kitchen. Essential cooking appliances and plenty of counter space allow you to effortlessly create family feasts while on vacation. Savor breakfast and dinner at the 4-person dining table as you absorb the light from the lake outside.

Entertain yourselves in the family room watching shows on the flat-screen TV. Afterwards, step outside to watch the sunset over the lake as you sip a glass of wine al fresco and friends play croquet in the yard. Cook up mouth-watering barbecue on the charcoal grill and keep an eye out for nesting bald eagles!

Once the day has ended, saunter off to sleep in one of the 3 cozy bedrooms where you'll sleep soundly on queen and full-sized beds. The interior room divider in the Marcia and Sassy room allows guests to create a spacious large bedroom or 2 separate, private rooms. For additional sleeping, guests can retreat to the living room sleeper sofa.

-- THE LOCATION --

Deep in the woods, follow sandy trails to hunt for wild raspberries and the state flower, the Minnesota lady slipper. Along the private beach, search for the one in a hundred pebbles that is a semi-precious agate deposited each year by the winter ice. You can catch minnows with a net off the private dock, build sand castles, and bird watch for eagles and woodpeckers. The historic Grand View Lodge is down the road, offering 19th-century elegance in family resort vacations.

Spend long summer days recreating on your private beach area. Sunbathe, swim, and paddleboard on calm days. Walk only a mile down the road to access the lovely public sand beach. Your watercraft lets you cruise the calm water with your fellow travelers. Leave the shore beach and speed over the open waters by boat or Waverunner. Easily rent from Breezy Point Resort in Breeze Point located 7.5 miles away.

Breezy Point Resort also offers golfing at Whitebirch Golf Course, a picturesque 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. Only 12.5 miles away, the Preserve Golf Course at Grand View Lodge is another scenic spot to perfect your golf swing.

For a night out, dine at numerous restaurants within a 4-to-10-mile drive from the property. Savor dinner lakeside at Breezy Point Resort or try restaurants found on other lakes such as Bar Harbor Supper Club. The Dairy Queen Blizzard offerings are calling from the town center of Nisswa, 6.9 miles away. The resort town is home to family-friendly seasonal events including the Annual Nisswa Turtle Race and the Nisswa Fall Festival & Smokin' Hot BBQ!

We had a lot of fun here. We would definitely make a trip back. This is a great place and location for families to stay. The communication with the owner was great too. The kitchen is a little small but we made it work!

Nice lake view
Just 2 of us so we used the big bedroom and bath - part of the new addition and found that very nice. The kitchen was small - difficult to stash all our groceries and cook meals. I recommend planning very simple, easy meals. The sunroom was on the opposite side of the house and smelled musty. We closed the door and didn't use that. The TV was in the sunroom and we couldn't get any channels to come in but it wasn't important to us to have TV. We were not outside much - it was very windy and cool - down to 49 degrees F one night (mid August)! There is no paved sidewalk from the parking spot to the cabin so suitcases with wheels were worthless. All in all the cabin was quaint and the view was great. We liked the town of Nisswa.

Lake vacation
The cabin was exactly as I was expecting based on listing. Nothing fancy, but clean which is all my wife and I needed. It was all about location on this particular trip. Having access to the boat lift was a unexpected but welcome surprise. Great views of the lake, and would be a great location for kids with waterfront and sand. Thanks for letting us stay!!

Great location, but little things matter
Great location and beautiful clean lake. Disappointed with the cleanliness of the cabin. Trash receptacle was overflowing, cob webs over the dining room table, bathrooms and windows. Cabin also has a weird odor that smelled like pet urine or maybe a mustiness. I called the management services and they did pick up the overflowing trash. Management company is very responsive to any issues. I would suggest to make sure to pay close attention to checkin/out times before booking this property. Something I missed. The check in was the latest (4pm) and check out the earliest 10AM.

Beautiful View and Spacious Cabin but waterfront not easily accessible
Loved the cabin and the view right on the lake. The cabin was plenty spacious, however it would have been nice to have stairs and a dock to the make the lake more accessible.

We absolutely LOVED our time at your cabin. The cabin is beautiful and unique. Loved the family history shared, we had a few chuckles. We made some of own family memories with the spacious cabin, large outdoor area and so close the beautiful, Pelican Lake. The weather was perfect so just added that much more joy to our weekend. Thank you for sharing your space.

This was our first visit using VRBO and as I understand it, the first summer for the owners of this property renting it out. Pros: VERY close to the lake Beautifully redone master suite, laundry room, bathroom and 3 season porch Great location. Close to Cross Lake and Nisswa for shopping and lots of golf and restaurants. Loons Bald Eagle flew by a couple of times each day My husband caught a nice sized Walleye from the end of the dock!! Cons: No firepit No railing for the steps down from the cabin No real outdoor seating area. In our humble opinion, this property has a ton of potential for future improvements.
