Great space
The Pelican was perfect for our group. Lots of space for a large group to spread out in. Quick response from host for any concerns. We hope to be back soon.
Another great stay at the Pelican Lake Hotel
This was our second stay at the PLH and it was wonderful once again. There were numerous updates since last year. It was -20F all three nights when we stayed there this time, but it didn't get unreasonably cold anywhere inside. The place is by no means "fancy", but it checks all of the boxes for a large gathering. The bar area is super comfortable for adults and there is also a lot of different rooms for the kiddos to stay entertained. We have already booked for next year and looking forward to it!
Thank you so much for this wonderful revjew Christian! It was a pleasure to have your group at the hotel. Thank you also for leaving the place clean, we love guests like you. Till next year!
My family of 28 enjoyed everything this property had to offer as we celebrated Thanksgiving!
The property was amazing because it allowed my family to stay under one roof for three days without having to worry about traveling, putting kids to bed, providing enough spaces to gather and rest! We loved the kitchen for cooking and the bar for toasts and karaoke! We used the dining hall for meals and games. The care taker Jeff was great! We traveled from 5 states and it was well worth it! We hope to come back again!
Hi Mary,

Very relaxing atmospere. Plenty of room even with 35 adults to find a quiet room or lawn chair.
Very well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the karaoke,fire pit, lake and sun sets.
Thanks Paul! It was an honor to have you and your people as our valued guests!
Great Family Christmas
We had a great family Christmas as the Pelican Lake Hotel!!!! From the beginning, Julie was a pleasure to work with and always answered our questions right away! Jane was great once we arrived at the property and showed us everything we'd need for a great stay! There was plenty of room for our large family to spread out and we even had bedrooms to spare! The kitchen was perfect for preparing and serving the large meals. Plenty of refrigerator and freezer space too!
The dining room was perfect for eating but also doing fun crafts and putting together a few puzzles. The bar area was great for people to watch the Badger game. The kids play room was perfect, with lots for the little ones to do.
The bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. There were enough bathrooms for the size of our group. The building is solid and sound did not carry through walls or ceilings.
The views of the lake were priceless and we couldn't have asked for a better setting to celebrate our family Christmas! We would highly recommend this place for any large group gathering and we hope to return next year!
Hi Amanda!
Thank you so much for your review. All our handwork in rehabilitating and maintaining this old building is all worth it because of families like yours. We are so humbled that your family chose the hotel to hold your family Christmas gathering. Here's to a more closer family bond for your family!

About Julie Artus
I and my husband Steve got married in 2010. We are now raising two beautiful babies Kal and Kate. Steve had been Airline Captain for American Airlines for 27 years. He was also an Air Force instructor pilot for 6 years before started flying commercial airlines. I have never seen anyone so happy flying and that he would say something like 'I enjoy my job so much, I should be paying them instead of them paying me!'. He always came home with an ear-to-ear smile (well, most of it because he was just happy to see his wife :-)). He retired in 2011. I am of a Filipino origin born and raised in the Philippines. I was collage professor teacher in the Philippines before I came to America in 2007. I worked at Target as sales associate and became Department Trainer in three months. I left Target to work at the Hilton Chicago so I would be closer to Robert Morris University where I took my Masters degree in Master in Information System. I graduated in 2010. I and Steve got married shortly after my graduation. We then bought the hotel after our wedding .
Julie Artus purchased this Lodge in 2010
Why Julie Artus chose Pelican Lake
There is something something very special about this hotel. It's structure is the only high end commercial looking building in town. The hotel is rich with history, almost all local people have stories to tell about it. Lots of them grew up getting in and out of the hotel, buying their groceries, even first cigarettes, first booze, etc etc. Some have fond memories how much they love their ice cream from the grocery which is now 'kids' room'. Pelican Lake changed over the years and the hotel had witnessed it all. The hotel was built on the original foundation of the Beach Inn hotel that was built in 1898. Beach Inn, which then later became Pelican Lake Hotel, was then the first resort in the area and was the center of community affairs for decades until 1970. It went to different owners and served different purpose until Gene and Shirley Kaczkowski owned it for over 20 years. They then transformed the building to be home for family reunions which we keep. This building has been a significant landmark in town. It is our privilege to restore the hotel back to its former glory. And we are very proud to say that she's now standing proud and beautifully always embracing anyone that will make experience that last a lifetime.
What makes this Lodge unique
This is not a typical hotel. This is more of a big cabin, like your own home away from home. You will get the key and get the whole place to yourself. The sunset is exquisite. The view is breathtaking, peaceful and quiet. This hideaway is perfect to escape the noisy buzz of big cities. Plus you get to stay in a certified historical place listed in both the National and Wisconsin Register of Historical Places.
