Visiting Family
We had the pleasure of staying at The Gem while visiting family in Bovey. It was such a beautiful location (that is saying something considering we are from Alaska) with everything you could need. We had a wonderful time fishing on the lake and were quite successful. The sunroom was a fantastic surprise on arrival. We look forward to staying again while visiting family in the near future.

Quiet solitude!
Enjoyed our stay at this lake home. Very convenient to Grand Rapids and Hibbing with easy access to golf and trails. Bed was comfy. Host was responsive when needed. Loved having the bald eagle pair hanging around along with a juvenile. Were surprised one day by an actual flock of downy woodpeckers flitting through the trees around the cabin!

Great Little Cabin on a Nice Lake
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We stayed with our young adult children and brought the boat. Positive/Pros: Located on a quiet dead-end road 3 season porch was fantastic Lake is nice/clean water/large in size Public boat landing is close and easy to find Size of cabin/layout was perfect for the 4 of us Dock for boats Plenty of wood for bon fire and wood stove--which we needed one night as it was quite cool Plenty of parking-we were able to park our boat and truck near the cabin Not far from Grand Rapids if you need anything Internet was a nice surprise so my daughter could work on her class while we were there It's quite an elevation change from the cabin to the dock with quite a few stairs so anyone not in good shape may have issues navigating the incline, though there is a bench about half way to rest on.

You must rent this cabin!!
The Northern Gem was everything we needed and more for our vacation! The cabin and property were spacious and clean. They have chairs and a picnic table for sitting on the patio and have a new porch that was a great place to eat and play games, etc. The owner was very informative and easy to work with! The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed! The only thing that could be improved are the mattresses in the loft! Going down to the dock has a lot of stairs but was great exercise! There is a nice dock by the water. We rented a pontoon from R&R in Grand Rapids. They deliver and pick up!! The cabin is in a great location, very close to Grand Rapids. Our favorite places to eat were Sammies Pizza, Mad Dogs and Rapids Brewery! It is very close to Eagle Ridge golf course, which also has a nice restaurant/ bar/ golf course! Thanks for helping us to have a great vacation!

We loved it
Our stay at Northern Jem was excellent! The cabin was more than sufficient and we had plenty of room. All of our five children had thier own bed. We very much enjoyed the three seasons room where we ate most of our meals. The property is beautiful and full of birds and squirrels. We saw deer multiple times on the road to and from the cabin. We enjoyed fishing from the private dock (lots of perch there that you can hardly keep off your hook) and fishing from a boat where we caught lots of bass and a few bluegill. Our youngest caught a 17" small mouth bass which he will remember forever. Some reviews mention the steps from the cabin to to dock, so we knew what to expect there. It was a bit of a work out each time, but it's good leg strengthening activity! Communication with the owner was excellent. I had one question during our stay and he responded promptly.

Just okay
Cabin was clean but had some functional issues. The kitchen sink had a leak that caused water damage creating a strong moldy/musty smell. The overall water pressure in the cabin was not good. The toilet tank stopped filling and we were not able to flush the toilet without pouring water in it. All of these things we were able to manage with but for the overall cost of this rental I was disappointed. The kids had a great time enjoying the loft feature, all appliances worked great and were nice and clean.

Big Fun at the Lake
Rica, Margot, and I went here for a few days in May. Margot enjoyed running around on the grass and at the water's edge. After an hour of playing at the lake, we would go back to the cabin and take naps by the fire. We did this many times. It was big time fun and very relaxing. More highlights are detailed below. Margot and I went out on the canoe once. It was fun, but challenging to control with one person. (Margot is a dog.) Later I dropped my water bottle in the lake so I went out on a kayak to retrieve it. This was easier to control, so I tried to fish from the kayak. I got seasick from the light choppiness on the lake, so I went back to the shore. (Rica told me to mention that I get seasick VERY EASILY, and this is not a problem with the lake.) We got food at Ogle's after I failed to catch a fish. It was good. We watched TV in the evenings. Highlights included "Ask This Old House" and "Rick Steves' Europe" on PBS. On the last morning, I got out to the dock before 6AM in order to fish. A beaver swam past the dock and gave me a look that said "What? I'm a beaver. Get out of my face." I still caught nothing. (I should also mention that I have never caught a fish without my dad present.) I left my magnetic Star Wars light-sabre-shaped bottle opener on the refrigerator door. We may need another trip to the Northern Jem to retrieve it.

Adorable cabin on the lake!
The cabin with all its lovely colors and rustic charm was the perfect getaway. We loved the loft with multiple beds. The new enclosed porch was a great addition where we played games, had meals and hung out. Cabin had all the items we needed for meals, plenty of towels, and games. A cozy spot for family to reconnect, make memories and enjoy each other in a beautiful space. It rained while we were there, so there was some lake time but not as much as we would have liked. We used the canoe which was nice to have available. The grounds surrounding the cabin with the tree canopy was lovely and wonderful. We would definitely book in the future for family vacations. Thank you.

Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! We had a lovely relaxing weekend. The space has all the basic things you will need. It's cozy and the star of the show is the view of the lake. The space is getting some finishing touches with the addition of the new sun room, but is still totally wonderful. Classic Minnesota cabin :)

We had a great girls weekend. We loved the loft with all the beds. It was great to all sleep in the same spot! The wood stove was great for those chilly fall nights. The cabin had everything we needed! We will definitely be back!! Probably a girls summer weekend so we can enjoy the beautiful lake!!

A True Northern Gem
We had a great time at Northern Jem. It was exactly what we were hoping for: a log cabin nestled in beautiful fall colored trees, catching fish kayaking on a clear blue lake, cool fall weather and warming ourselves by the wood burning stove. We even got a glimpse of the bald eagle fishing from the lake. A perfect get away. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

We had an awesome time. The place is just as listed. It is in a beautiful setting and has an awesome loft with beds. Our family loved the new screen porch for card games in the evening after a day on the pristine, beautiful, full of fish lake. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, etc. The only downside is one bathroom but we made it work. We hope to return someday.

nice getaway
We were looking for a small getaway for our little family. This definitely lived up to expectations and beyond. It was the perfect getaway for us. It was peaceful, and we were able to fully relax. Even woke one morning to find deer right off the front deck. The dog and us were tuckered every night . There are a lot of stairs to the lake, but totally worth it. Hubby was able to fish off the dock with gear found in the shed, it was even warm enough for us to get in the water one day. I would recommend this place, and had the discussion of going there again.
