Perfect little spot for a family of 4!We’ve stayed on the larger part of Big Pelican previously but preferred this location as it was tucked around on Fish Lake. The place had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation and host was responsive with questions.

Interior unfinished

Bedroom was actually the mechanical room with dresser and the bed was jammed in a corner! Only 1 outside garbage can that was completely full when we arrived and still full 4 days later. Had to pile ours on top. I asked how many steps down to dock, 'No steps, just a path to the dock' was the response. Turned out to be quite steep - my spouse unable to get to the dock. The dock was little more than a few floating pallets. After towing our boat 180 miles we had no place to tie-up! Very sad. Have pictures.
