Malibu in Minnesota

This Malibu in Minnesota Beach House resides on the beautiful shores (230 ft) of Lake Pokegama in Grand Rapids. This crystal clear spring-fed lake offers great fishing, canoeing and sailing. From the dock, boat across to Pokegama Golf Course for eighteen holes and dining. The lake offers other eating establishments (Zorbaz and Pickled Loon) for your enjoyment.

Beachside is close to the house with a sandy gradual depth past the dock. Bonfire pit for those marshmallow delights and a wrap around deck for those Northern Minnesota starlit night skies! A lakeview four season porch with wide screen TV, Wi-Fi Internet, DVD's and games are available for your entertainment.

When booking do not include children under twelve, however please include a total guest count in the booking message so we know how many people are actually coming. Just to be clear all kids are welcome, but we do not charge for kids under 12. Do not add children under 12 to your booking.

*** A brand new hot tub is installed and ready for use***

Your boat can be moored at the dock or as you feel appropriate (rentals available in town, search Grand Rapids boat rentals) and any other watercraft is acceptable to bring. We offer two free Kayaks for use. We have 3 adult and 3 kids lifejackets available for use. We do not provide fishing equipment; there is an area in the mudroom to clean fish.

Dogs (fee per pet) are welcome.

Location was great right in the lake. Beautiful spot for hosting! The garage and apartment right next to the house was less than ideal but never saw the person so was not a problem for us. And the hot tub needs some leveling. Overall good experience and fun time

The outdoor spaces and fantastic sandy beach really make this property special. We loved swimming and floating in the lake by the dock and the raft. The screened porch with a fire table is a lovely space to spend your evenings. The interior of the house could use some TLC. The bathrooms need updating and a lot of the living room furniture is broken down and uncomfortable. The kitchen space is very nice and had everything we needed to cook meals at home - and having a grill was also very nice. It’s a large space so you have plenty of room to spread out for large groups. The communication with the host was excellent.

Had an excellent stay here with some friends for a milestone birthday!! The property delivered as listed and did not disappoint. There is plenty of space to accommodate a group across a variety of weather conditions. Access, location on the lake and proximity to a boat launch made for some enjoyable days out on the lake. Chris is always very responsive should you have any questions or need anything.

Really lovely week

The house is exactly as advertised. It had everything we needed and more to make our week really special. We had a family of five, ages 10 to 89, and everyone loved it. There was always something to do, restaurants and shopping were very close (within 5-15 minutes by car). For people with mobility issues, the house has a ramp for easy access and everything that one would need (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, tv room, and the porch) are on one floor. The views were spectacular and the neighborhood is really quiet and secluded. If I could give more stars I would!

Long weekend on Pokegama

The property is large and nice. The beach is perfect and there is room to tie up a boat to the dock. The house was even bigger than expected and had everything we needed. There was a brief issue with the air conditioning but the owner response time was fantastic, especially given it happened over the weekend. Highly recommend.

Unique Property

We enjoyed our stay here over Labor Day. It is a unique/quirky house. The children loved the water and kayaks. Water was clear and shallow. Fishing off the dock was also popular. Three small queen rooms on first floor - second floor loft was definitely open to the rest of the house. Two separate living spaces and a screened in deck.

Back to Sherrys Arm!

We wanted to find a place to stay on Pokegama as we haven't been back since we sold our cabin on Sherrys Arm. The location of this place is great and for our family it couldn't have worked any better. We rented a boat from Grand Rapids Marine and launched it at the south end of Sherrys Arm. We were able to tie the boat to the dock at the cabin. The cabin had the best beach for the 4 and 1 year old and even the adults. Boated to the Pickled Loon one night and even to Pokegama Golf Course for a round. The house is an interesting design. I have never seen that many operable windows and screen doors. The layout worked well for our group and allowed for naps and downtime for some while others played games or listened to music. The kitchen had every utensil you needed. Great dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer. We would definitely go back.

Amazing Place!

Amazing place, the perfect set up for families. The beach is clean with a gradual increase in depth—great for young swimmers! The house had ample seating for meals for our group of 10, we loved being able to eat inside or out. The screen in porch was perfect for relaxing at night. Highly recommend, will book again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Family Getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at this home. The beach was perfect for the four toddlers we had with us. They had plenty of room to play and the gradual depth of the water was perfect for the kids to swim and feel comfortable. The house itself provided plenty of room and it was really enjoyable to have a table that accommodated all of us to eat together. Really nice experience, we would stay here again.

Great location and beach

We had a wonderful time. There was a nice breeze on deck so could enjoy without mosquitoes. The kids loved the beach, dock and swimming to the raft. It is located on a great location of the lake. The loft was good for adult sleeping, not young children. It was only 10 minute drive to grocery stores and Target. Pokegama lake is beautiful and we also enjoyed going out to islands to swim.
