About this property
Great Fishing, Gorgeous Views, Private Cabin on Pelican Lake
Explore this popular fishing lake that has hosted the 2021 Champions Tour pro bass tournament, the 2020 MN State High School bass fishing championship and 2024 Student Angler Tournament. Set back into the mature pine forest, you will enjoy privacy with amazing views. At the edge of Voyagers National Park, Pelican is minimally developed with gorgeous islands to add drama and beauty to the nearly 12,000 acre fishing lake destination.
The cabin was originally part of a summer camp and is one of the few original buildings that remain. Decorated in the style of "midcentury-modern camp," it is cute and fun, with a well-stocked, large kitchen that opens up to the living and dining area. The spacious master bedroom and ensuite bathroom offers amazing views of the lake with abundant space for storage. The bunk room has two sets of twin bunk beds with closet space and shelving for all. We provide clean bed linens, a few towels, and firewood.
As cute as the cabin is, most guests spend their time at the lakeside multilevel recreation area. Choose your spot to relax - around the fire with great lake views, on the dock to watch nature or fish, on the upper level with even better views, or on the perfectly positioned hammock. Walk the 400 ft of wooded shoreline in the water or on the nature path through the woods and you will likely see the resident eagles' giant nest on the point less than 200 ft away from our property line. There is a picnic table with benches and chairs, lounge chairs to kick back in, folding aluminum chairs to take anywhere you want, stand up paddle boards and a canoe to access the water. A Crestliner fish and ski boat is available to rent.
Frequently guests comment on how refreshed they feel after being here. You may unknowingly experience "forest bathing" that you'd notice upon leaving - it is like feeling clean from the inside out and is pretty awesome. We hope you choose the Red Pine Retreat for your "up north," experience and look forward to hosting you.

Enjoyed our 2-week stay at this cabin on Pelican Lake. The cabin and property offer a great view of the lake and beautiful sunsets!
Hoping to be back again in 2025.
Second time stay at this property. Great location and well equipped and maintained cabin. Beautiful views of the lake and property grounds are fantastic. Heidi is a
wonderful person and host. Cannot wait to come back next year!
This was our second stay at the cabin and it proved to be just as amazing as the first. We were able to unwind, relax and just enjoy the nature all around us.
The cabin was clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed for our stay.
We plan to be back next year!

Thank you Tammy. I really appreciate what good shape and condition you leave the cabin. I’m so glad you both enjoy and value the experience up here too. We look forward to having you back.
Paul and Heidi have provided a great place to unwind and relax! The cabin was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the lakefront setting complete with smokeless fire pit and chairs! We hope to return for another visit!!!

It was great to meet both of you. You were wonderful guests, and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate the amazing shape that you left the cabin in too. Hope you had a safe journey back and would love to have you back next year.
My husband and I along with another couple spent the week at the cabin to relax, fish, and play cards. The cabin was perfect for the 4 of us. Heidi was very easy to get along with. I will say if you have mobility issues getting down to the dock or back up to the cabin may be a problem, but for us we were ok. I suggest this for anybody who wants a quite week away.
My family of 4 had a great time here. The lake views and sunsets were amazing, the fishing was great (two largemouth bass over 3 lbs!), we saw bald eagles, loons, mink, Canadian geese, ducks and deer, and the location was perfect: close to town but very private. We never even saw a neighbor. The cabin itself was comfortable and there were so many little extras that made the stay even more enjoyable and showed how much the owners care. A soda stream machine, fire blankets just in case (may seem silly, but it made me feel like the owners have really taken the time to make sure everything is as safe as possible), wire baskets with battery operated lanterns next to each bed in the bunk room, games, a great booklet with all the information you might need about the house, the area, the best local places to eat and more. They even had a book about the local history and another dedicated to tying fishing knots. It was our favorite lake house rental!
We recently had a great trip “up north.” This property was great for our family. Lots of outdoor and indoor games. The kids loved paddle boarding and laying in the hammock. We loved the lake side fires and watching sunsets on the water. The host were gracious enough to move the dock to accommodate our pontoon rental for the week. They were also great at responding to our inquiries. We had all the amenities we needed for the week. Bait shop and local grocery were also near by. We hope to return.
Our family (2 adults, 4 kids ages 9-15) had a wonderful time during our week at the cabin. Our kids really enjoyed the bunk room and appreciated the lamps and storage baskets next to each bed. The master suite is roomy and has a perfect view of the lake. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed as far as utensils and appliances. While we loved the cabin, the outside areas were really the best part for us. Heidi and Paul have done an outstanding job making the lakefront area cozy and inviting. Plenty of seating options, a hammock, yard games and a firepit were all used almost constantly throughout the week. The dock is sturdy and was fairly private. We only saw one neighbor pass by a few times on their boat all week. Everyone agreed that we would gladly stay here again!
My family and my sons two friends had such an amazing time. The rooms are super spacious that even the bunk bed room was big enough for 4 boys (2-12 yr olds and 2- 14 yr olds). The master bedroom was wonderful and had the best view of the lake and property. All the beds were comfortable. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of space in the main area of the cabin for every one to sit and lounge. The chairs in the living room area were super comfortable to sit in, have tea in the morning, look right out to the late view, and read a book. The property was wonderful, all the trees and the lake front area was amazing. Sandy beach, water front picnic table for lunches by the water, very nice dock with a large space at the end for people to gather (we put chairs on it and watched the kids swim and fish), and the fire pit is by the water as well. There is nothing more peaceful than sitting by a fire next to a lake and under the stars. It was like our own quiet oasis. No one around but us. We loved watching the deer that came into the neighbors yard. The owners Heidi and Paul were super nice and available if we needed them. We are so grateful that they shared their place with us so that we were able to make amazing memories with our kids. Oh and I almost forgot to mention we were able to bring our 2 year old pup with us and he had such an amazing time as well.

About the host
Hosted by Heidi Soll
I am Heidi from St Paul MN and when I come up here, I just chill out. My ideal day is laying in bed observing the morning light through the trees, then making coffee, walking down to the dock for some yoga and quiet time while watching the sun rise over the point. The rest of my day is about the same. It is a very relaxing and beautiful place.
Why they chose this property
Woods, water, west-facing, and geographic beauty on par with Voyageur's National Park
Woods: This property has 2 acres of woods with old red and white pine stands sheltering their baby trees that are regenerating everywhere. The nature walk along the shoreline through the trees has a cleansing effect on me, and I hope you can feel that too.
Water: The lake is famous for great fishing and our location is on the map - you can just walk out into the water with waders or fish from the dock. Pro bass fishermen were photographed along our shore, so its good. We also have a great all-around boat for rent if you'd like to get out on the lake for cruising, tubing or fishing. We have a two person canoe for our guests to use freely as well.
West-facing: Pelican Lake is over 11,000 acres and we are situated on the east side of the lake facing west out into its vast beauty. There are three islands in view and it's just gorgeous. The fire pit is down by the water where you can relax and watch the setting sun trade places with all the colors of the famous "pelican skies."
Voyageur's National Park, Minnesota's only, is a 30 minute drive to Crane Lake. Alternatively, drive north about the same distance to access it from Kabetogama. The park is all water, so you will need a boat or to rent one, ours stays on Pelican. But it is truly beautiful untouched northern forest and big water up there.
If you need a few amenities? No problem, Orr is less than 10 minutes away where you can find a grocery store, post office, restaurants, liquor and hardware store. For a few more amenities, Cook is a 25 minute drive.
There are great local hiking trails, waterfalls, outlooks and the Vince Shute Bear reserve should not be missed.
What makes this property unique
Updated master bedroom and ensuite. Fun mid-mod styling, large kitchen for cooking and staying in, private boat rental.
