About this house rental

Serving families since 2010! This historic 9,500 square feet lake home is conveniently located on 745 Highway 45, Pelican Lake WI. We accommodate family reunions, small weddings, organizational retreats, group vacations, and other special occasions. The beautiful 3,585-acre Pelican Lake is perfect for fishing, boating, swimming, water-skiing, and other fun water activities. We provide 2 piers, one for your boat and the other is for the 85 ft swimming area with sandy bottom. This old (1928) hotel has been renovated touching on nearly everything on and in the building. Inside is a spacious kitchen with 3 refrigerators, 1 chest freezer, a walk-in pantry, 2 big prep built-in tables, stocked with pots and pans for your cooking pleasure. You will also enjoy the spacious bar, living room area, 50-seat dining room, and kids room. The kitchen and bar are yours to stock with your favorite foods and liquor/beer. The hotel is listed in both National and Wisconsin Historical Register. Over a hundred years of history. The hotel was originally built in 1898. It was first remodeled in 1912 with the addition of bricks. It was destroyed by fire in 1926 and was later rebuilt with the same frames of the building in 1928 which is now the current look of the hotel. For decades the hotel was run as a hotel and restaurant and was the center of activities in the old days. Why Stay With Us? A Home Away From Home. Pelican Lake Hotel is home for many families for many years. There's an instant feeling of home once you enter into the hotel (We rented the Hotel for our own wedding in 2010. We liked it so much we bought it.). The kitchen was once a commercial kitchen which is big and fully equipped with appliances, kitchen utensils, and dinnerware. Every room is spacious enough for big groups. The dining area seats 50 people, and the bar seats about 20 people at the bar and tables. The building is about 9500 square feet. So there's plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor ground is huge enough to park cars, recreational vehicles, and tents. There will be nobody there except the renters, so you would feel the privacy of your own home. Some of our Families have been making memories in the hotel for over 25+ years for their annual family reunions. We offer EXPERIENCE. The hotel is situated on the 3600 acre Pelican Lake. It has 330 ft of lakefront, 80 feet of which is with shallow sandy bottom for swimming area. It is facing west, so you'll enjoy the exquisite sunset, like no other. There are 2 piers in the facility to park boats, and swim. Activities include swimming, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, tubing, water skiing, and more. We have 4th of July parade and we are a walking distance to Shabby Shack to get souvenirs or just to enjoy ice cream with family. There's that little kid in every one of us and that experience with your little ones enjoying a cone of ice cream is priceless. Boat landing is literally a house away! The town is also ideal for bike riding if you like riding under the canopy of trees. The town is quiet, a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Terrific venue for five different families. Perfect historic old hotel that met all of our needs. Probably the best gathering place the families have ever had. Can’t think of a better place for 20 people. Great host who was responsive to our every request. Can’t say enough. Our second time visiting and plan on many more. Jeff Archibald

We had our 3rd annual Fall Friends Weekend at the Pelican Lake Hotel! Despite rainy weather and a lightning strike, we had a wonderful time playing games, making food, and telling stories- there was even a murder mystery afoot! The hotel is an amazing space for 10+ households to get together with their own rooms, and enough separate common areas for multiple simultaneous activities. The kitchen is spacious with more dishes, utensils, and cookware than you could ever need. If someone needed something, you can bet we found it at the Pelican Lake Hotel! We are already excited for next year! Thank you so much!

This was our first extended family vacation together. We had lots of room for shared meals, games, crafts and stories. The bar was fun for the adults with the kids in the toy room next to it. Plenty of bathrooms for all. We spent a lot of time preparing meals in the large, well-stocked kitchen.

We held a family reunion here for a week. 27 people age 3 months to 86 years old. Pros: The kitchen was large and well-stocked, the lake and the piers were nice, number of individual bedrooms was good for our group, dining room was big, property manager was responsive and helpful, location was within walking distance of the boat launch, BP station, and The Shabby Shack. Cons: Water was undrinkable so we had to buy our own each day (bad taste, smelled of iron, sediments in glasses). Overall cleanliness of property was poor (spider webs, dead bugs, overgrown plants on exterior stairs, we saw bats and mice inside the house) Furniture was very old and shabby Leaking pipes dripping from the foyer ceiling Water heater needed repair while we were there While the property manager was responsive, the Property Owner was difficult to reach between booking and our stay (often took days with multiple contacts to get a reply to a simple question) When we arrived, the internet modem was unplugged. Once it was up and running it only worked in the bar and the bedrooms directly above the bar.

This review is several months after our stay, but the warm feelings towards this place remain! It is a perfectly delightful old building with a ton of character and charm and I hope we can go back sometime! It holds everything needed for a weekend of fun for a youth (or other)group. It was still winter so we didn’t get to enjoy the lake. The only negative, in my view, is outdated bedding, and I recommend bringing some of your own. Really great stay, over all though, and Julie is a fantastic host!!! :)

We have been going to the Pelican Lake Hotel for many years now. It does not disappoint if you are looking for a large space for a group. It is not fancy, but that is kind of the point.

Beautiful location for an extended family weekend. The space was perfect for our group to cook, eat, play board games, watch football or a movie. It is unique because it fits our large group and has great space for the group to gather. We love the dining room because we can all eat together! Check in and out were easy, communication was quick and very helpful. Thanks for everything.
