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!
