Explore this popular fishing lake that has hosted the 2021 Champions Tour pro bass tournament, the 2020 MN State High School bass fishing championship and 2024 Student Angler Tournament. Set back into the mature pine forest, you will enjoy privacy with amazing views. At the edge of Voyagers National Park, Pelican is minimally developed with gorgeous islands to add drama and beauty to the nearly 12,000 acre fishing lake destination.

The cabin was originally part of a summer camp and is one of the few original buildings that remain. Decorated in the style of "midcentury-modern camp," it is cute and fun, with a well-stocked, large kitchen that opens up to the living and dining area. The spacious master bedroom and ensuite bathroom offers amazing views of the lake with abundant space for storage. The bunk room has two sets of twin bunk beds with closet space and shelving for all. We provide clean bed linens, a few towels, and firewood.

As cute as the cabin is, most guests spend their time at the lakeside multilevel recreation area. Choose your spot to relax - around the fire with great lake views, on the dock to watch nature or fish, on the upper level with even better views, or on the perfectly positioned hammock. Walk the 400 ft of wooded shoreline in the water or on the nature path through the woods and you will likely see the resident eagles' giant nest on the point less than 200 ft away from our property line. There is a picnic table with benches and chairs, lounge chairs to kick back in, folding aluminum chairs to take anywhere you want, stand up paddle boards and a canoe to access the water. A Crestliner fish and ski boat is available to rent.

Frequently guests comment on how refreshed they feel after being here. You may unknowingly experience "forest bathing" that you'd notice upon leaving - it is like feeling clean from the inside out and is pretty awesome. We hope you choose the Red Pine Retreat for your "up north," experience and look forward to hosting you.
