They were more than accommodating, helpful, friendly and full of knowledge about Pelican Lake and the surrounding areas. I came with my boyfriends family who have been fishing for 30+ years. These past four years I fish regularly and really like it...but now I get it-and I love it. The Lake will make you a fisherman. The sun is up at 5a and doesn't set until almost 10p on some nights. When it's too hot try out the putting (it's pretty challenging and well maintained) They have Frisbee Golf, a bike boat, canoes and some great places to sit, relax and enjoy the view and sounds of Orr, MN. I was very comfortable and felt very safe. If you need anything town is just 15 minutes away. Each cabin has a BBQ and some come with a dock (we were lucky ours had one) I wish I had more time than a week. I just went into the lodge for the first time right before we left and it was amazing. So much history. I can't wait to come back! Thanks Guys! PS-Check out the Bear Sanctuary (5-8p)

Bruce is an awesome host and provided a very personal touch, checking in with us on a daily basis and making sure we were well taken care of. He also helped us figure out a last-minute boat rental crisis by finding us a replacement pontoon boat when we had to turn ours in a day earlier than expected. We enjoyed this vacation so much we already made reservations for next year.

The beds were comfortable and the view was terrific. Bruce and his staff were so gracious. He even treated us to his deluxe Bloody Marys on the shore on Saturday morning. We had a minor problem with an electrical breaker being tripped and Bruce was there in 5 minutes to take care of the problem. Bruce was even kind enough to take some of us for a boat tour of Crane Lake which was fantastic. They welcomed our dogs too. Great experience. I highly recommend booking with Cabins on Crane!

Fantastic expansive views of the lake as a perfect back drop to early sunrises & slow sinking sunsets. The autumn leaves were bright & colorful. One evening was cloudless & I got to see the northern lights dance across the night skies! Memories to last a lifetime. We enjoyed boating in Voyageur's National Park and exploring the islands on Lake Kabetogama (200 to choose from) and the artistic Ellsworth rock sculpture garden & picnic area. We had never seen anything like it before. Amazing! Tip: they have public bathrooms if you need a pit stop. We hope to make it an annual tradition & join the fisherman next round. They were raking in the fish (& the resort staff cleans them for you too)! And for last minute get aways you can make them a discounted offer on a cabin stay & get great value for the price.

There was a common kitchen with refrigerator, sitting room with fireplace. Coffee and tea available 24/7. I really appreciated them making me and my little dog feel so welcome and taken care of. My room was spotlessly clean with plenty of towels and a handmade soap. No need to bring much all the toiletries were there including a hairdryer. Outside seating was available on the deck. The other guests were friendly and pretty respectful of quiet hours so I slept well. Should I return to ELY, MN again I will stay at THE STAY INN and will recommend to anyone headed to the area.
