Beautiful cabin with attention to detail, host was amazing! We loved the firewood hot tub and seeing the lake otters. We really appreciated that it was a dog friendly place, and fell in love with the host dog, Olive. The beds were super comfy and the beach was well stocked with water toys. A experience!

The perfect MN cabin/lake getaway! Debbie is an amazing host, she had everything stocked from firewood, ice in freezer, towels, kitchen supplies, laundry, coffee, comfortable beds/blankets, extra fans, etc! I could go on and on. The views are absolutely stunning. It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved having a fire at the beach every night. Everything truly was beautiful. Would 100% come back!! Thank you Debbie!

Wonderful owner- she's at the bigger house on site but she very much gives you privacy. The beach is loaded with anything you'd need, tubes, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, chairs, fire pit, etc. And has a wonderful sandy beach. The location is super private and quiet but close to town. Pokegama lake is great for fishing, tubing skiing. Water is clear. Cabin is good, has everything you need, bedrooms don't have doors but two have curtains and that works just fine. Side room with bed has gorgeous view of the lake. Will definately be back!

60th Birthday

We booked the cabin to celebrate my mother in law's 60th birthday. We all had a blast swimming, fishing, and boating around Pokegama Lake. The cabin had a real up north feel to it.

Great Location on Pokegama

We had a great time at this cozy, open floorplan (bedrooms are open too) cabin. The cabin was well-appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The cabin is situated in a lovely bay and fishing off the dock was so fun. We rented a pontoon from R&R and were able to tie up to their dock for the week. Communication with Debra was great and she was genuinely concerned about our needs throughout our stay. Would book again.

Beautiful lake view! Sandy beach,clear water,nice variety of water toys,great host!

We had a very nice time. A few rainy days kept us inside so was nice to have such a variety of DVD's to choose from. Was not a huge fan of the steep hill to the lake,but still worth it. Would have been nice to have a regular drip coffee maker,as we hadn't a clue how to use what was available. I would suggest changing out the current futon,as it was extremely uncomfortable to sit on and also add an additional chair to the living room. The water line to the refrigerator leaked into the drawers and shelves, but we made due. An additional fry pan would of been nice. Other than that, I would definitely stay again! Thanks Debbie

Annual Vacation Getaway

We love our time up at Debbie's each year! The property is well taken care of and Debbie is very attentive to the needs of her guests. This past year they made amazing changes to the beach and added fresh sand and a couple additional water toys. Our entire family and all our friends had an incredible time paddle boarding, jumping off the platform, kayaking, and sitting lakeside listening to the loons.

A perfect lake vacation

You’ve got to see this lake! It’s SO clear and clean and quiet. Swimming was really great, no weeds, no mucky bottom, and it stayed shallow a good ways out and then got deep fast. The property is beautiful, and we really did have everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the house was clean and just the right amount of space. The kayaks were really nice and the paddle boards were super fun. My husband really enjoyed the hot tub that was heated by a wood burner (thanks Debbie for getting it going for him!). We caught a ton of fish right off the dock, Sunfish mostly but they were big and my kids had fun (we released them all). There was a couple of Loons that hung around nearby. It really was the perfect end to our summer. Thanks Debbie for sharing your space with us, we hope to come back sometime!

Loving Lake Living!

Every year we head back up north to enjoy some lake time. This place did not disappoint! The beach and swim/dive platform provided ample swimming/fishing fun for our 5 teenage boys and 2 big dogs. When the weather cooperated we loved our beach fire, morning porch coffees and dock fishing (caught 24" walleye off the dock!). Debbie is a fantastic host whose priority is to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Lake Shore Haven

Debbie was a wonderfully kind host, her cabin home was full of thoughtful items. The lake shore is a little piece of heaven. We saw several eagles while swimming in the shade of the tall trees. Kids (22 months, 5, 9, 9) loved the kayaks. 5 year old loved hopping on and off the kayak and the water was only up to his waste for a good distance. Mom loved the new LG washer and dryer. All loved the new AC. Would definitely stay here again. Beautiful!

A Little Piece of Paradise in the North Woods

The property is as advertised... clean, functional, well-equipped. The beach, dock, water-toys, and swimming platform are simply awesome. The view and location on Pokegama are nothing short of perfect with great views and privacy for quiet fires in the evening and watching the sun set in the west. On top of that, an attentive and wonderful host in Debbie. Great spot and facility!

With that being stated, I have loved the families that chosen to spend their vacations here. If you choose this vacation property, please write your experiences in the cabin and journal and leave feedback. I strive to make everything perfect for you.
We love pets, unfortunately, I have severe allergy to cats. Your dogs are so welcome. Please advise how many dogs you are bringing.


Why they chose this property

We do have neighbors and they are family also. Please keep noise down after 10 p as they do have two small children.
