Malibu in Minnesota

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.

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.

Beautiful Cabin
We had a wonderful time! The cabin is very well stocked (we travel often & this is probably the best stocked we have ever stayed in). The yard is wonderful. We really enjoyed the lake, beach, kayaks, hot tub, swim platform, screened porch, and deck. It's very private & the lake is very clear. The kids & dog had a great time swimming & we rented a pontoon and pulled it right up to the dock. There is also a lot to do in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend!

Great stay!
The house is located in a bay on the lake that is somewhat sheltered when the winds kick up. Our family made excellent use of the canoe and kayaks (and PFDs) as well as the dock for a rented pontoon which we used to go explore the lake, visit friends and go get pizza! (highly recommend you consider renting if you are there for any length of time). Our children and grandchildren will remember fondly our time together here

Great Family Vacation
This property had the perfect outdoor areas for all ages. We enjoyed the nice sandy beach and spent hours at the end of the dock watching sunsets. The hot tub was nice to have on some of our cooler days. The lake access was great for everyone - we appreciated being able to swim with no weeds out to the raft. We also enjoyed having kayaks and a canoe - there were bikes available - but we didn't want to leave the lake. The house was quite large and had plenty of spots for everyone to spread out. The property manager was VERY helpful and responsive to all of our needs. Finally, there was a large enough driveway for multiple cars and a boat trailer. The fishing on Lake Pokegama was EXCELLENT!

Great Family Trip!
Our family of 5 adults and 6 kids all siblings and their kiddos had our annual cabin/lake trip here and had an amazing weekend. The view of the lake is amazing, the beach is great for little kids and the floating platform off the dock was great for the big kids. There’s a hot tub with views to the lake and the deck wraps around which is great for access and views. Was great for my brother’s dog too. Had a memorable weekend!

Bachelor party
Myself and the guys had our bachelor party at this location….it was a nice get away and a great place to crush some brews and catch some fish. The owners were very cool and even let us light off some fireworks as long as it was before 8…we had privacy even though it was attached to the owners home which was nice. Kitty was accommodating when needed and was very kind!!! The hottub was sooo relaxing and fun and great to set up a tv and watch some Sunday night football. Would recommend!!!

Great place to relax and enjoy lakefront living
We stayed at the Malibu in Minnesota house for 4 days in between tent camping in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and a weeklong visit to Voyageurs National Park - it was a great place to stay during our trip and kept with the theme of staying unplugged and enjoying nature. Pokegama Lake is wonderful - clean, refreshing, and very quiet (very limited boat traffic) - with loons and other wildlife. Our teenagers loved the swim platform and hot tub, and our dog loved swimming in the lake. The beach area is a really nice touch and provides a great way to access the lake. We also used the two kayaks, which were a great way to explore the lake. Stargazing was excellent and we were able to see several meteors during the Perseid meteor shower because of the low surrounding light pollution and clear skies. We were also able to take daily morning walks on the surrounding dirt/gravel roads, which have almost no traffic and are surrounded by forest and secluded cottages. As a family of five - two parents, and kids ages 20,18, and 16 - the house was perfect. It had more than enough space to spread out and the bedrooms provided everyone their own space. The kitchen is well-appointed, the spacious and flexible outdoor deck provides some great options during the various times of day, and the place is exactly as described. We highly recommend this place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. While it has neighbors, the house is very well isolated with trees, and we did not see a single person while we were enjoying the beach, decks, and hot tub.
