Oveson Pelican Lake Resort and Inn

Friendly staff

Love this property but was very disappointed that the pool is closed. Should have mentioned that on the web site because the kids were so disappointed.

We really liked the property and the atmosphere. The owners are/were renovating the property which meant the pool, hot tub, exercise room, etc were closed. The kids were disappointed but if you have a boat there are plenty of swimming opportunities! Would highly recommend especially once everything is completed!

Beautiful view of the lake from our balcony. Nice fishing dock. Very friendly staff.

No pool or hot tub, room stunk and the carpets felt damp and sticky, TV remote was not set up to control volume or power and nothing done about it except to hand me directions on how to program the remote (which did not work either), wi-fi was weak.

The view of the lake, sunset and wildlife was heaven sent, I hadn’t expected such a beauty!

Depressing experience. -The staff were friendly however I don’t believe they knew how to do anything. -No hot water. -Pool and hot tub are permanently shut down which was a dissapointment. -The bar is shut down. -The restaurant is shut down. -outside of the building there is significant rot and degradation to the exterior of the building -we went to go for a swim but they are too lazy to even take the weeds from the dock so it all seaweed. If you plan to park your boat there maybe reconsider as you’ll probably get weeds in your prop. -they had tons of empty lake facing rooms and they didn’t upgrade us which is fine but unprofessional. We asked how much it would be to upgrade to a lake view and they didn’t know how to do that and told us we’d have to pay full price. So don’t expect to make any changes to your reservation. -the breakfast was labeled a “continental breakfast” it was milk cartons, eggo waffles, hard boiled eggs, and cinnamon rolls. Make sure to wake up early because they only make about 10 cinnamon rolls and so there is not enough. The coffee is good. -dock was also falling apart basic things like the bumper trim which would take all but 5 minutes for an employee to repair with a hammer and a handful of nails shows exactly how little they care about the place. -everything is very outdated and very odd and liminal feeling colors. -beds were fine but very very cheap and hard. -stains on walls and carpet in our room The good: Bed was clean Free WiFi

Easy access.

There was no hot water to take a shower in the morning. We left some breakfast was below average. I’ve stayed a lot of places around the state in the world breakfast very much need help. It was a little musty smelling the staff were very friendly.

The pool and hot tub were not open. We don’t know how long it had been that way.

This hotel is gorgeous, as are the grounds. It was oddly empty though, both guests and staff. It feels like we were there at the wrong time of year or the wrong era. A bit dated in some ways, but it also feels like it was a top of the line resort at some point. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful patio overlooking the lake. Cinnamon rolls were really good for breakfast.

Really disappointed that the pool and hot tub were closed and will be closed until 2027 per the owner/ manager. He told us they are having trouble finding help.

Traveling to Ontario for fishing trip. Worked out great

Oveson’s is the best place to stay in Orr. The pool and hot tub are closed permanently. But I didn’t go to Orr for that, there’s Pelican lake! Continental breakfast is good..cereal, yogurt, juice, milk and baked cinnamon rolls. The lodge is decorated nicely and there’s a sitting area with a TV, also tables and chairs if you wanted to play a game with your family. The mattresses are so-so and the linen is dated but clean. The service was excellent and one older gentleman was always so helpful and polite!

They need to add a food establishment as dining options are very limited in the area.

it was okay- felt safe. No pool. Pool closed for some reason - never explained. Cigarette burn on blanket... and on tub... seriously? why not get rid of blanket? Big hole in middle of blanket. The whole bedding situation- from the 60's? 70"s? a little updating is good. No daily maids... I had to ask for more toilet paper and towels... One guy at front desk was great... nice - attentive- but two women were the worst- barely even acknowledged your presence- lots of stains on carpet in room- come on! clean things up a bit- Pool was out service the whole time I was there- five days!! Boo!

Room was clean… facility is in decay. Pool was closed…outside building is showing wear… Breakfast was poor… Not a good value….

The property itself is gorgeous. It’s right on the lake. However….. there is no bar/restaurant inside or connected to the hotel. The breakfast wasn’t a lot, just toast or muffins. Our first morning/full day there there was NO hot water and we couldn’t shower. Checked with front desk, they didn’t care or seemed concerned and said owner didn’t care. We were there 5 days and we finally received fresh towels our last night there. We still loved the place! The staff was very nice, lobby was nice and comfortable. It was perfect as it was close to the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary which we were there for. There’s a family owned cafe right down the road that had great food, The Pattens. And a grocery store so you could grab snacks if needed.

Advertising pool and hot tub. 2nd year in a row neither were open. Last time for me at this place
