About this property

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Best spot on the lake

Our family loved the sandy beach and swim area. One of the best swim beaches in all of our MN cabin renting. The kids got great use out of the kayak and the hot tub was perfect for our cold week in August!

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

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.

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.

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.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Pollock

Host profile image
I am the oldest son and I'm helping my parents rent their property.

Caretakers occasionally present above the garage.

Why they chose this property

My parents decided to move from the cities and make Grand Rapids their home. My father is an architect and designed and developed the site. The vista from any window depicts the beauty of the Northern Minnesota waters, trees and foliage.

What makes this property unique

Northern Minnesota lake homes and the surrounding areas have so much to to offer: Water sports in the summer, leaves in the fall, many biking trails, snowmobiling/skiing in the winter, and year round fishing. My mother's comment to the question of moving the family here has always been, "We wanted a slice of Heaven early!"
