About this property

Cozy Vintage Cabin on Lake Pokegama & MTB Trails

This cozy cabin is a tribute to days gone by when the cabin was just a place to keep your duffle and the real fun was on the dock, around the fire pit, and cooling off in the lake. We've added some modern comforts (even a TV!), but you still get that rustic experience of getting back to the basics that has captured the hearts of travelers for generations.

CABIN
The large windows have exceptional lake views and let in natural light all day long. The kitchen is outfitted with all of the essentials and there is dining inside and on the screen porch. One bedroom has a king bed the other bedroom has a built-in queen bed. Note that the bedrooms and and bathroom are quite small, this is an original Jack-and-Jill layout that was popular in 1950s cabins. There is a large heater the keeps the cabin toasty all winter (the floor stays cool, so slippers are recommended). The boathouse is usable through May-October, it's not heated.

We do our absolute best to keep pests outside, but this is located adjacent to many acres of forested land and is not bug-tight.

PROPERTY
The property is very quiet and tucked away on a dead-end road across from the Tioga Rec Area (home to world class MTB trails, hiking, mine-pit swimming, snowshoeing, and fat-biking). The nearest trail access is just a minute ride from your doorstep. South facing views from the elevated property look out onto Pokegama's largest bay and you can catch sunrises and sunsets from the cabin. Other outdoor amenities include a firepit, free firewood for bonfires and sauna, gas grill, and screen porch. There are seasonal neighbors on both sides, but most guests say that it feels very private.

LAKEFRONT
There are stairs down to the lake. We have a dock with space to park your boat. The lake is clear and great for swimming with a sandy bottom, pebble shoreline, and views that stretch for miles.

SAUNA
The 4 person cedar barrel sauna is wood fired. It's a short walk down the stairs to the lake for post-sauna dips.

INCLUDED IN YOUR STAY:
+ 2 Paddleboards
+ 2 Kayaks
+ Firewood
+ Towels & Linens
+ Coffee (Drip and French Press)
+ Propane for gas grill

*Note that we do not stock non-essential consumables like tinfoil, plastic bags, etc. Please plan accordingly for your vacation.

Cute cabin! Comfortable and cozy living room and bedrooms. Great screened in porch with nice sitting area and dining table. Bathroom and kitchen are nice but small. Great view of lake. Lovely, large outdoor space that is very private. Great gas grill and fire pit. Would have appreciated kitchen supplies like tinfoil, baggies, napkins, oven mitts.

Thanks for your review Jeanne. So future guests know, that's correct- we do not stock non-essential consumables, like tin foil, for your vacation. We do typically have oven mitts and I apologize that those went missing and weren't replaced for you stay. I appreciate the heads up on that detail.

What a beautiful spot! I couldn’t get enough of sitting in the screened-in porch and watching the fall leaves, the lake, and the birds. The stay was incredibly peaceful and quiet. The cabin had everything we needed, including delicious Fika coffee to enhance the porch-sitting. The sauna heated up quickly and was the perfect way to start the day. Sunsets from the beach chairs were magnificent. The cozy living room was the perfect spot to play some evening board games. Our only regret was that we didn’t book it for long enough. Next time we will stay longer!

Our Host was prompt with responses to questions. This was most meaningful. The main cabin was charming and lake view was awesome. As a rustic older cabin, it has been lovingly kept up. We were not able to use the quaint boathouse because temps had dropped and it is not heated. The rainy weather kept us inside. However, the spacious living area gave us ample room to hang out and we were close to Grand Rapids and Cohasset to enjoy other entertainment avenues. No regrets. Hope to book again.

This property is perfect for anyone looking for a clean, cute cabin with a quiet location. My sister and I spent 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. We caught lots of fish off the dock, but unfortunately none of them were keepers. It was fun anyhow doing catch and release. The boathouse by the lake is a nice addition to hang out in. I look forward to returning to this cabin someday.

Perfect bike and lake retreat

This cabins location is unbeatable. Amazing biking trails and lake access all without having to drive from the cabin. The cabin was everything that our family needed. Clean, comfortable eith the added bonus of kayaks and the use of the boat house. It felt like everything a quintessential Minnesota get-away should be. Our family cant wait to go back.

Our family has never stayed more than one time at a Vrbo property, EXCEPT this one. We stayed 5 days longer than we did last vacation and our kids still cried when we had to go home 😆. The perfect space for our family to enjoy the bike trails and the lake. The communication is exceptional. The space is clean and has everything we need. Cant wait to come back.

Peaceful lake cabin

The cabin is a small, quaint peaceful northern Minnesota lake place. We loved using the kayaks, paddle boards and fishing from the dock. There was a pontoon available for renting, but we did not feel confident in our driving skills and so did not try. There is a lovely screen porch to sit in while enjoying your morning coffee and listening to the loons. The fire ring and chairs were great with a view overlooking the lake. Several mornings we walked down the road and felt safe doing so, traffic is slow, and it is a lovely road enveloped by trees. The fall foliage would be amazing! Each day we saw deer, a mother and twins and even saw a buck once. We also saw an eagle from our kayaks and were told they had a nest in a nearby tree. Emily was easy to contact and was a good communicator. My teens sang praises of the Wi-Fi strength with no issues. As I said the cabin is small, but with the screened porch our family loved it. The location is so quiet and the chairs and little room by the lake were a great addition. The steps down to the lake are a bit steep and uneven-but doable for our family. On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a farmers' market in nearby Grand Rapids, and they have an awesome taco truck. Overall, we loved our stay at the cabin and would recommend it!

Great lil' cabin and space!

Very quaint and lovely location and cabin on the water. We didn't use the pontoon or kayaks, but having those available for guests is absolutely amazing. The wood burning sauna is a great treat and added plus to the stay. However, one word of advice to people looking to stay - there is VERY limited space for your luggage and personal items. The main bedroom with the queen bed should be switched with the bedroom with the two twin beds since that room is larger. There is zero space in the master room as the bed takes up 85% of the room. There is small closet, but hardly any room for your luggage or to hang anything. The bed is said to be a queen, but felt like an oversized twin and was a very old mattress that was not comfortable. Neither myself or my lady had a good sleep unfortunately our entire stay. The bedrooms do not have AC, so I also suggest keeping the AC unit in the common area on, with bedroom doors open to get some comfort in the rooms. We didn't need heat, but I am unsure if these cabins are heated at all, it didn't look to be the case, I would double check before purchasing your trip. It would be a 5 out of 5, but they should definitely put some upgrades in the cabin/house. The sink and faucet needs to be replaced and better water pressure in the house. The microwave is very old and needs to be replaced along with all the beds and box strings. If you like SPACE and need to store/access luggage I would suggest looking at other options. Great place though!

Response from VrboOwner on 25 October 2024
Thanks for taking the time to review our place Daniel. There's one helpful note in here for other guests, but there are a few inaccurate comments as well, that I feel I should provide my feedback on. So first, it's true that the bedrooms are not large. I did give a heads up before you booked that your group was pushing the limits of our space. Sorry that I wasn't more adamant that it wasn't a fit, but I'm taking this as an opportunity to make our bedroom sizes more clear in our listing. This is an original 1950's cabin, built during a time when people travelled with a lot less and enjoyed going to the cabin for it's simplicity. For future guests, if this is what you're looking for, this place is for you! To correct some of the inaccuracies: - Our beds are less than 5 years old and there are no boxsprings. - It is indeed a queen bed. - There is an 80,000 BTU heater near the dining area. - Although the microwave is original, it's it works great. - The well and well pump are new in the last 3 years and we have normal water pressure.

Cozy Lake Cabin

Property sits high up on Pokegama Lake providing great views of the lake and passing soaring eagles. Even though neighboring lots are near, it is quite private as neighbors were seldom or never seen. Our dogs loved the area to play and really loved chasings frog on the beach. The cabin is older and does have it's charms such as small bedrooms, bathroom and resident ants, but thankfully one of our teenage sons moved into the boat house and loved it. Porch area was great for morning coffee and evening drinks. Communication with owner was prompt and thorough.

Thoughtfully designed, cozy hideout

This cabin takes full advantage of wide lake views. The furnishings are edited and appropriate for the space. We loved the comfy furniture and beds. Kitchen and bath are very small but right for the space and you have all you need. Due to unseasonably cold/snowy weather we didn't get to take advantage of fire pits or boat house. Owners were very responsive and helpful.
