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.

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.

Wonderful stay

What a fantastic place! Would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Amazing location and beautiful, cozy cabin. You could not ask for a better host - Debbie is so kind and has thought of everything to make her guests feel comfortable. We spent every possible minute in the water, and loved the water toys. The diving board was a huge hit with our group! This lake is beautiful and we especially loved visiting the sandbar Debbie recommended. Would love to stay here again. Thank you for a great stay!

A-A-Amazing

We traveled to Grand Rapids for the weekend with our dogs. This cabin is everything we wanted and more. Not only is the cabin perfect, there is plenty of privacy which worked great for our dogs. The lake is gorgeous and there is so much to do in Grand Rapids if you need to head into town. I also need to give kudos to the host, Debbie. Of all the places we’ve stayed, Debbie had the best communication. Debbie goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and your stay is enjoyable. This is one place I would visit again and again.

Awesome location!!! Great Amenities, and Debra is wonderful.

We absolutely LOVED staying here! Debra was awesome from the moment we checked in. The cabin was furnished with everything you would need, even down to the soft robes! The beach is so sandy, with a lot of chairs and fire pit. There were paddle boards and kayaks that we used. We cooked steaks on the grill one night with our other family members and then just enjoyed a nice evening on the deck. The bedrooms have the curtain doors, which was fine for us. They are still totally private. The one bed is overlooking the lake with windows all around. Debra has a great coffee bar set up, with several flavors of fresh beans to grind for coffee. Any questions we had were immediately answered. And the fact this is dog friendly was perfect for us! We will for sure rent this again next year!

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

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!
