About this property

Summer Weeks Available!!

Strand Island is a private 45 acre island located on a excellent fishing lake - 11,000 acre Pelican Lake in Orr, Minnesota... don't worry... we have a pontoon to rent if you do not own your own boat! Located 3 hours and 40 minutes from Minneapolis. The 108 year old fully remodeled main cabin has 8 bedrooms- each bedroom has it's own antique sink. There are 1.50 baths, a totally remodeled kitchen with two refrigerators and two freezers, a stone fireplace, a sunroom and a huge screened porch with card tables and 4 swinging beds suspended from the ceiling… There is also a sauna house with a shower, a washer and dryer and a 75 year old log cabin that sleeps four and has a card table.
There are two other out buildings... one is a game room with a ping pong table and the other is a TV cabin or movie house with a large screen TV... we do not have cable TV, but we have an Apple TV loaded with tons of movies for rainy days!
The island is 45 totally private acres, undeveloped and wild- explore the woods or cast a line off the dock. This is the only home on the island!! The 11,000 acre Pelican Lake is excellent for crappie and bass fishing, boating or water sports.

Need a boat? We can rent you our pontoon for about $700 a week! It is 21 foot pontoon with a 50 horse motor & our caretaker will meet you at the dock with the pontoon to give you tips on the operation.... or you can bring your own boats or jet skis to fish or ski. There are spots for 8 cars to park on the mainland at Deer Lodge and a dock to easily load up the boat when you arrive Strand Island is about a 5 minute boat ride from the dock at Deer Lodge... or about 1 mile from mainland. The island will be all yours to roam, fish, play or pick raspberries in total seclusion.
Kayak around the 9500 feet of shoreline or out to the nearby state park on Big Island- a 210 acre nearby island owned by the State of Mn. You have the entire island to yourself- no other cabins on the island- play, explore, hike or fish one of several private bays.

There are two kayaks there for your use, an old wood row boat and a flat bottom metal row boat.

There is large grass field as well... to play wiffle ball or football for the kids.
Enjoy the stars, the call of the loons and amazing sun sets at Strand Island!

Great week!
We had a great family vacation. Despite the weather not cooperating, there was plenty of room for the 17 of us to hang out indoors waiting for the rain to subside. The lake is quiet and the wildlife so much fun to see. The property could use some updating but for the most part very accomodating for a large group.

Magical
My wife and I booked the Strand Island property for a week to celebrate our anniversary with family and friends. Everything turned out just as we had hoped … lots of opportunities for the adults and kids of various ages in our group to enjoy the lake house. The kids loved the beach, fishing from the dock (they pulled pan fish out of the water constantly), the hanging beds on the porch, and the special game cabin. The adults enjoyed the large kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple places to sit and visit. Everything was clean and well kept. The caretakers were so helpful and instantly responded when we had questions. And the loons were a magical presence through out our stay!

Awesome place to relax and get away!
We went w our whole family. Parents, kids & grandkids. Everyone had a great time. Fishing. Relaxing. Playing games. Kayaking. We got a fishing guide 1 day to show us some spots. Cabin was equipped w everything we needed. Deb was great to help us get acquainted and answer any of our questions. We took badminton along and they had a yard plenty big enough for a daily tourny. The sauna was awesome to warm up as the days grew cooler toward evening. Our big kids loved sleeping in the movie house. The little kids loved the swinging beds in the screen porch. And enough bedrooms for the rest of us. We rented the pontoon for the week too which was nice to fit more kids for fishing. Beach had nice sand. They have a nice big grill and Blackstone which was perfect for breakfast. Thanks for the great time!!!

Can’t wait to come back!
We had our family reunion here for a week and absolutely loved it! There were so many things to do that we didn’t even get a chance to explore it all! We rented the pontoon boat as well and had a blast fishing on huge Pelican Lake. We had all ages, from 1-70 and everyone had a blast. Deb was amazing to work with and checked in on us regularly. The fishing was fantastic, especially from the docks, the sauna was a favorite, we used the fire pits multiple times, and the main house was great for everyone hanging out together at nights. My favorite part was the benches and fire pit a short walk from the main house where you could watch the sun set. We can’t wait to stay there again!

Amazing Property
Three families enjoyed a great Memorial day weekend. Kids ages 9 to 15 had a blast and didn't get bored! Parents had a blast. So much to do, kayak, paddle board, swim and finish the night with a Sauna. The owners were very responsive and the caretaker does an amazing job of making you feel totally at home. Definitely coming back soon!

We have 5 kids and live in Minneapolis...

Why they chose this property

We saw the aerial shot of Strand Island and were amazed enough to go take a look- the idea of a 45 private island I think appeals to anyone- it is wild, private and the home has the unique character of a 100 + year old lodge... we fell in love with it.

What makes this property unique

Great fishing!
Hike the island... you are all alone on a private 45 acre island- boat house, sauna, log cabin.
Complete Privacy on your own private island!
