-- 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!

    Great property with amazing sunsets and lake view. We were a little disappointed that the canoe mentioned in the listing was unable to be located but, other than that, we had a lovely time.

    Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for the holiday weekend. The main reason we picked this place was because of the dock. Which was very nice. Will definitely be back again. FYI. If you are bringing a boat make sure to launch it first as it is a very narrow road and turning boat around in driveway would be difficult.

    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!

    The lake cottage is the perfect combination of vintage and modern ! The beds and linens were wonderful and soft . The updated bathrooms were great. The vintage kitchen was my favorite and had everything we needed. There large windows facing the lake allowed for amazing views!

    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.
