About this property

Welcome to the Blue Heron! This sunlit, architectural award-winning house is a 4-bed 3-bath that sleeps up to 12 (in 11 beds). On Lake Pokegama (1500 acres) one hour and ten minutes north of Minneapolis, it includes 4 tranquil acres with 2 ponds, woods, wildlife, bonfire pit, woodpile, and 2 kayaks. Feel free to bring your boat, there is public boat launch down the street, or you can rent a boat on the north side of the lake. In winter, ice fish on 5-mile-long Pokegama Lake. Explore on snowmobiles, skis or snowshoes!

The house faces west for dazzling sunsets, and features a big family room with two-story stone fireplace (gas) and custom windows throughout. Large kitchen island with sink and eating area. Big deck with roof cover. Live-edge custom pine table seats twelve for memorable family meals. Two main floor bedrooms with walk-in bathroom include a king in one and two queens in the other. Upstairs bedrooms each have 2 sets of bunk beds with twin over full beds. Pokegama Lake connects to Cross Lake via the Snake River for fun boating and snowmobiling.

Close to hiking at Banning State Park, ATV trails at Chengwatana State Forest, the Snake River Fur Post, and Three-Twenty Brewing Company. Restaurants and shopping in and around Pine City. Let nature restore you. Be inspired by local wildlife and starry skies. Come enjoy the northern Minnesota experience just north of the cities. Some fun day trips I recommend is going up to Banning State park, Boondogle Winery, Saint Croix State Park and there is a Casino in Hinckley. We do not allow any wedding, bachelor/bachelorette parties or other loud parties that make noise into the night.

Family

We had a good weekend but the house needs a serious cleaning. From the ovens to the dusty floors and blinds. The manager was great with responding to us about an issue we had. Very roomy and relaxing for our large family.

Fun Family Weekend

Our family spent the weekend here fishing and just hanging out. The kids had a great time in the bunk rooms and the beach was perfect for playing in the water. Our dogs were thrilled with the lake too! Plenty of places to sleep, but not a lot of privacy for adult couples. My husband and I shared a room with his brother, awkward! I wonder if the previous guests or the cleaners had trouble before we arrived as the door was left unlocked. We were a little disappointed with the floors, they were not cleaned up from the previous guests (sand & dirt on hard surface floors) and the organization in the kitchen took some time to get used to. We would suggest a cabinet/pantry area for food storage when we are there as everything we brought had to be kept in the counter or small table in the hall. If you need a great outdoor space for family/friend gatherings, this place is perfect! Kids and dogs loved the yard. We had a fire in the pit, played lots of catch and football in the yard, fished, swam, etc. Great opportunity to have fun!

family time

It was a wonderful place for my siblings and family for our annual gathering. The place allowed us to spread out, have our own rooms and the grounds are spacious as well for outdoor games and fires. Overall the interior is nice but if. you look closer (kitchen cupboards, closets) they are in disarray. The pontoon was nice to have to get on the lake, but it is very slow and pretty beaten up.

Our Stay

We grew up going Up North to our family cabin with a beach front. The cabin was sold a number of years ago because of parental age/health issues. We rented this cabin for our family (kids/grandkids) as well as my parents. We chose this cabin for the size, the beach front, the pontoon, and the fire pit. The pictures of the house were not current as it was not as crisp and clean as shown (many splinters) and we spent time cleaning the pontoon and beach area; however, the kitchen and living room were wonderful for our family. I would suggest organizing the closets and cupboards but that is just my opinion as I find that to be an important part of all of our VRBO stay.
