"Room and lobby was clean, rustic northwoods decor was a bit dated but charming. Staff was very nice and helpful. Pool, hot tub, restaurant look permanently closed. Hopefully there are plans to reopen at some point in the future, especially as local options for dining are limited. Good value for what we paid for lake view balcony room, only a few other guests at the time we stayed. "

"SUPER nice couple!!! Gave my son & husband a tour on how to get to Pelican lake by snowmobile. My snowpants were ripped and when I asked for a needle & thread, Meredith offered to sew them up for me on her sewing machine!! Completely equipped kitchen including croc pot, tea kettle, air fryer and many more items we didn't know they had. Fridge has an ice maker and was full of ice when we arrived. Entire laundry room for use, lots of extra pillows, blankets and even an inflatable mattress. In the closet downstairs there's booster chairs, baby gate and the 3 baths were great!! Many variations of Coffee, tea and spices available for use. Love the farmhouse!! Very clean, cozy and plenty of room for my family of 5. We had a super great time and HIGHLY recommend this house!! We will be back Ps- you should add strip sheets and put in clothes basket in the laundry room in the checkout procedures in the 3 ring binder. "

"Great location, clean space and great hosts"

"Enjoyable resort. Awesome amenities in a beautiful area! "

"Our August family summer vacation on Strand Island was perfect. Large cabin with many rooms for the large group we had. Plenty of space inside, the wrap around porch was absolutely perfect for games and the kids loved the swinging beds. We made use of the large outside field area and had many competitive games of wiffle ball. The swimming area was great, and the kayaks were used daily. The views and sunsets were amazing. We definitely recommend Strand Island for a large group get 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!"

"What an experience!!! Such a lovely place with great views of the lake! Highly recommend this hidden gem! "
