The design and coziness of this location was exactly what we were looking for when planning a quick extended weekend away from home. Pocket lake is beautiful and we loved the lake view. Only 15-20 minutes away from most major hikes and restaurants in Alex made it really easy to have this be our "home base" for many fun excursions.

It was a fantastic property, exactly as described. The uniqueness of the shape made it really cool. It was lovely cátedra on a beautiful lake and kayaks were provided. The owner was always available if for some reason we needed to communicate. Everybody would enjoy their stay and would definitely miss out on an amazing experience if they didn’t check it out. I can say with absolute certainty that we will be booking the cabin again in the fall and winter.

Cute place

The cabin was very clean and just the right size for me, my wife and our dog. The owner was great with communication. The only downside was the entire lake had weeds growing to nearly the top of the water, so it is not swimmable.

Timber Arch June 2024

We were in the area as my son was participating in the MN State Trap Shooting Tournament. Cute and cozy cabin. Owner was thoughtful with remodel. Very well done. Great amenities and updates. We let the kids have the loft, which they thought was cool and also gave them their own ‘space’. Outside had a nice patio and gentle slope to the lakeshore. This particular lakeshore is not swimmable but we did manage to catch a few northerns off the dock. We brought our boat and put in at public launch and had a great fishing day on the water. This cabin was great for our 4 night get-away. Close to Alex and many other surrounding lakes. Carlos Creek Winery was a fun experience. Thx Timber Arch!
