House is a little dated but everything was working and it served our purposes very well. Not much luck fishing off of the dock as it was hot and there were a lot of weeds, but the back deck is very nice and we would have loved to spend more time out there if we had been able to stay longer.

Amazing house and Hostess!

We had a wonderful time on our stay. Although it was hot and the fish weren’t biting, we had a great time. The house was very nice and clean and at a great location. We will definitely go back.

July 4th Vacation

Our family had an awesome time. The house and location were perfect. It was quiet and peaceful. Marilyn was so accommodating. She was so helpful. We did a lot of fishing, caught most of the fish off of the dock. We will be back. Marlene

Wedding weekend

The house and property were wonderful and everything we wanted. Only down fall is the lake is not one to swim in as it is muddy and full if weeds. Other than that, I would recommend it to all.

Our stay at "The Lake House" was wonderful. Marilyn was wonderful to work with to ensure our vacation was all that we expected. Although we experienced an unusual amount of cool days for July, we enjoyed our time and outside of the house. The deck was a wonderful location for our family to gather for meals and games. We did enjoy the dock regardless of the challenging weather. The location of the property was so convenient to areas where we could rent kayaks as well as places to tour and hike. We were also close to stores so we could pick up any items that we had forgotten. ENJOYABLE STAY!

Thank you for your wonderful review. I would rent to you again anytime!!! I’m really happy you loved the area and the place. I do too, and it feels like you are in the north woods, and you’re not really that far up north, so it is less driving.

Nice lake home on Pelican Lake.

We were at this lake home at a very unusual time as there was a real lack of water due to drought conditions and heat so that we could not dock our boat or rented pontoon. Other than that, we had a very nice time. Lake Minnewaska is real close and has two great beaches and launch areas. Kitchen was well equipped with dishwasher, etc. We enjoyed the large deck, central air and ceiling fans. Thank you for excellent communication too.

We had a great time here and Marilyn was awesome with great communication. Our boat lost battery on lake and she called a neighbor to come pull us back to shore! Everything was seamless and just what we needed! We will be back! 🎉❤️🚤

Good visit

We had a nice visit and the cabin worked very well for us when we visited family for the holidays. The apartment was warm, even though it was sub-zero weather. The neighbor also did a nice job keeping the driveway clear of snow.
