PELICAN PINES LAKEHOUSE
A friend summed up Pelican Pines Lakehouse perfectly: “Vail meets the Northwoods.” Whatever time of year you visit, whether there’s a fresh fall of deep snow for cozy winter weekends or the perfect summer breeze by the water’s edge, The Lakehouse is designed with one thing in mind: being together with friends and family in total comfort.
Inside you’ll find a modern take on cabin comfort with furnishings from Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and Wisteria as well as floor to ceiling windows, a towering river stone fireplace and enough room for your party to spread out in total relaxation. Play a game of shuffleboard, light a fire or put the professional chef’s kitchen to work.
EAT
The kitchen at Pelican Pines Lakehouse is a chef’s dream: professional grade appliances, butcher block prep counters and every tool, dish or appliance you could possibly need to create the perfect family meal or dinner party.
Whether you’re getting extended family together or escaping the city with friends, gather around an over-sized rustic farmhouse table with wicker seating and accompanying island that together comfortably seat up to 15 guests. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts as the lake light pours in or intimate candlelit dinners. And if you prefer dining al fresco, tables on the giant outside deck provide ample seating for the whole group.
SLEEP
Pelican Pines, with its 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, accommodates 14 guests comfortably and is designed for total relaxation. Rooms are situated so that every guest has their own space but they’re never so far away as to feel isolated. A master bedroom and guest bedroom are on the main floor, two additional guest rooms on the lower walk out level and a separate staircase off the laundry room/mud area leads to a fun bunk room over the garage which is fully heated and air conditioned. Every bedroom features hotel quality linens and bedding perfect for afternoon naps or long restful nights.
PLAY
There’s always something to do at Pelican Pines Lakehouse. A tree-lined walk leads to one hundred feet of private lakeshore, sugar sand beach and crystal clear water ideal for boating, kayaking or swimming. Play volleyball, organize a game of soccer or take any of the kayaks and paddle boards out onto the water. There’s even a pontoon boat for rental ready at the dock.
Pelican Pines is also fully stocked for indoor fun. Choose from shuffleboard, ping-pong, air hockey and darts. Grab a board game or a book. Or just relax and watch a movie on one of the property’s large screen TV’s.
