About this property

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 fully stocked. There is indoor and outdoor dining space. The larger bedroom has a king bed, the smaller bedroom has a queen bed, and there is a sleeper sofa in the boathouse. 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.

PROPERTY
The property is very quiet and tucked away on a dead-end road with forest along the entire north side (home to the Tioga MTB trails). 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 shoreline. Other outdoor amenities include firepits near the patio and at the lake, Adirondacks, a gas grill, driveway to the lake for unloading boats, and secure storage for gear. There are seasonal neighbors on both sides, but most guests say that they have plenty of privacy.

LAKEFRONT
There is a short flight of stairs down to the lake as. We have a dock with space to park your boat. The lake is clear and clean with a sandy shoreline and views that stretch for miles. Enjoy both the sunrises and sunsets over beautiful Sugar Bay.

SAUNA
The 4 person cedar barrel sauna is wood fired. Firewood is included.

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

Always Amazing

I love this quaint, cozy cabin—such a wonderful space for a retreat. The amenities were perfect. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook meals. The bed was comfy and I looked forward to the hot showers after being outside hiking on the trails in the woods. Awesome Getaway!

Tioga paradise

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.

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.

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!

Weekend getaway

My husband and I were looking for a quiet weekend away to relax and unplug. This cabin was very quaint and exactly what we needed. While it rained all weekend, we were not able to fully enjoy all the amenities like kayaking or access the hiking trails. But we did have bonfires by the lake. Overall, would recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet retreat!

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.

The Hideout

The property was very private considering it's on Pokegama. Our dog loved it. It's an older cabin with small bedrooms, but the property, beach and boat house were great for us.

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.

Fall Family Getaway

Great base camp for our small group of bird hunters which included 3 adults and 2 kids. The main cabin fit us all just fine and we didn't utilize the boathouse, however it looked like a nice addition for a summer time stay. Outdoor temps got below 30 degrees at night and we got about 4 inches of snow one day - the big heater kept the cabin warm and comfortable the entire time. We cooked meals with our harvest each night and the kitchen was not overstocked with tools and utensils, but it had all the right ones, including decent knives and a knife sharpener - an important oversight at most rental places in my opinion as someone who likes to cook when at the cabin. Communication from the owner was always timely and great. We highly recommend.

About the host

Our family enjoys time together outdoors and places that embrace simplicity. We share our little cabin with the hope that it can be a place for others seeking these experiences as well.

Why they chose this property

Sugar Bay is the most peaceful spot on the lake, you truly feel tucked away when you are here. The skies are dark, you can hear the loons and the breezes through the trees, and the views are lovely from sun up to sun down.

What makes this property unique

Lake Pokegama is one of the premier lakes in Northern Minnesota. It's known for it's clear water, sandy shores, and wooded islands. As avid mountain bikers, this is a special spot for us with the world-class Tioga Recreation Area MTB trails right in the backyard.
