About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakefront, wildlife Cabin retreat + Sauna optional

Welcome to the Pelican Bay Cabin. Located only 45 mins. from the Twin Cities in the Chisago Lakes Area & situated on a quiet bay on South Center Lake in Lindstrom, Minnesota. This private cabin combines walk-out lakefront access the most sought-after lake in the area with the tranquility of being located in a bay + access to our wood-fired sauna.

Our cabin is minutes from downtown Lindstrom, Taylor's & St. Croix Falls, Trollhaugen & Wild Mountain Resorts, wineries, & more.

PLEASE READ BELOW.

GOOD TO KNOWS:
1) Ask us about our reduced fee option!

2) SAUNA (NEW!! as of Jan. 12 2024) - our WOOD-FIRED sauna is available for an OPTIONAL, ADDITIONAL fee of $150 PER DAY. We built this sauna ourselves are so proud to share it with you! To use this, YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE.

3) *We have a small team helping us. We do not offer on-demand services like a hotel. We ask you be kind to our small team, our neighbors, and the small businesses on Main Street Lindstrom :)

THE SPACE:
Walk-out lakefront access, four 2-person paddleboards (that can also be used similarly to kayaks), a 100" projector screen, knotty-pine walls, modern and fresh renovations, and comfortable furnishings, all complete the Pelican Bay Cabin.

Enjoy this entire cabin with modern amenities and charm, all while maintaining the comfort, flexibility, and privacy of a vacation home.

The cabin is just minutes from local wineries and vineyards, apple and pumpkin orchards, breweries, restaurants, outdoor adventures in St. Croix and Taylors Falls, the quaint downtown Lindstrom, skiing at Wild Mountain and Taylor's Falls, and so much more.

Given that the cabin is in a bay, we are fortunate to enjoy a plethora of wildlife year-round. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat that includes walk-out lakefront access to one of the most sought-after lakes in the region and abundant wildlife, this IS the place for you.

The reason wildlife seek out this bay is due to its LACK of sandy beaches. If you are looking for a sand-covered beach, this is NOT the place to stay.

RING DOORBELLS:
We utilize Ring video doorbells for our guests' safety. This also allows us to ensure the booking details are accurate -- if more people than are listed attempt to check in, or someone other than the person who made the reservation checks in, we'll be alerted.

PETS:
We can accommodate 1 dog per reservation upon approval only. Your dog must be on the reservation with the DAILY pet fee ($50 PER night) paid prior to arrival or you will be subject to an additional charge plus the nightly pet rate.

Please review our House Rules for additional instructions that allow us to continue to be fido friendly!

*No rabbits. No cats. No other animals allowed, even though we love them all.

GATHERINGS:
The Lindstrom Cabin is a place to escape the noise and bustle of life. Keeping the noise down allows for you to hear all of the amazing wildlife and keeps the neighborhood the lovely, peaceful place it is. If you are here to throw a party or stay up until all hours of the night outside, I am afraid you have found the wrong place.

Lovely Little Cabin
Stayed here a week and had a great time. Super clean and cozy, great view, nice neighbors (they gave our dog a toy that was too big for theirs), not much more you could ask for.

MEA Break Stay Fall 2023
This was a perfect place to stay for 3 of us older ladies over MEA. The cabin is small but very well appointed and clean, and the location and access to local vine yards, shops, antique stores was perfect. It's not far to Taylors Falls and the St Croix river, beautiful leaf viewing and scenery. We weren't able to open the blinds on the front window but we enjoyed sitting on the front deck and watching the egrets. Very quiet and enjoyable.

Great little spot
We had a great time at Austin and Elizabeth’s little cabin. It was perfect for our family with two small children. The home had almost everything we needed. We had to bring a pack n play and some added black out curtains but otherwise it was great. The location is awesome to get to Taylor’s Falls or the state park. I recommend it for a little weekend getaway!

So Perfect
Pelican Bay is a great property. It is newly updated and has a great view of the bay from either siting on the sofa and drinking coffee or relaxing on the deck under a beautiful shade tree. It was clean and well equipped with what we needed for a long weekend. The hosts were great and I can’t wait to go back.
