About this property
Welcome to Pelican Beach Resort
Pelican Beach Resort is a 4.5-star resort hotel and wedding venue located in a quiet area of Nisswa, Minnesota. Situated on the south end of Pelican Lake, the property offers a peaceful setting ideal for families and visitors looking to enjoy a relaxed lakeside atmosphere. Guest reviews highlight its rustic style and comfortable accommodations, along with friendly and accommodating owners.
This kid-friendly resort provides essential conveniences such as free Wi-Fi and free parking but does not feature a pool, on-site restaurant, or fitness center. Its calm lakeside location and dock appeal to guests seeking a low-key retreat rather than extensive on-site amenities.
The surrounding area is well-suited for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Nearby attractions include Pelican Lake itself, known for boating and sandy beaches, as well as Gull Lake and Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, both popular for fishing, biking, and nature outings. The property’s location makes it a practical base for guests aiming to explore these natural highlights.
Accessible by car within roughly half an hour from Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport, the resort places visitors conveniently close to the region’s popular lakes and recreational sites. Although some guests appreciate the quiet, family-friendly environment, the moderate visitor rating suggests it primarily fits travelers focused on relaxation and outdoor activities rather than luxury amenities.
