Perfect for our family of 12! Each family had their own floor for sleeping and quiet time if they wanted it. Beautiful sand beach and shallow enough for little kids to play without worrying! Absolutely perfect!

The house is cozy and welcome. Would like the owner to provide more salt in the winter, especially for the stair walking toward the front door. Thank you for the great host.

Context matters, so here's ours: we paid luxury holiday pricing for Pelican Beach Lodge for the July 4th week, 2026. The year before, we paid half for a comparable home on nearby North Long Lake — a true 10/10.The house itself is excellent. Photos are accurate, beds are comfortable, the setting is quiet, and the front-yard beach is stunning, with sand running more than a hundred feet into the lake. Pelican Lake has great clarity, good fishing, and sandbars. On the property alone, this is a beautiful place.The problem is management and value. We asked about renting a pontoon (offered in the listing) back in January — no reply. We followed up in May and got a 5% discount code to a vendor already sold out for our week. We scrambled to rent one for five of seven days, then arrived to find the owner's pontoon locked to the dock, not for rent. On top of that: a moldy shower curtain, burnt-out lightbulbs, ratty, mismatched towels, garage-sale-grade kitchen gear, no firewood, kayaks without paddles, and a grill that lit only one of three burners.At half the price a week, this is a 9 or 10. But at Four Seasons prices, I expect a first-class experience — and the frustrating part is that nearly every issue is cheap to fix, if the management company cared.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your stay at Pelican Beach Lodge. We truly appreciate you highlighting what you enjoyed about the property — the beautiful setting, sandy beach, comfortable beds, and the beauty of Pelican Lake. We agree that the lake and location make this a very special place. We also appreciate your feedback on the areas where we missed the mark. We understand that the details matter, especially during a holiday stay, and we are reviewing the items you mentioned, including supplies, amenities, and property touches, to identify opportunities for improvement. We are especially sorry for the frustration surrounding the pontoon rental communication and availability. We understand how important lake activities are to a summer stay and regret that this part of your experience was not as smooth as it should have been. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Feedback like this helps our team continue improving the guest experience.
