Reel Therapy Retreat on Pokegama Lake in Chetek WI

Reel Therapy Retreat is your lake-life escape on Pokegama Lake in Chetek, Wisconsin’s Chain of six Lakes. This spacious, family-friendly home welcomes anglers, crafters, hunters, and reunion crews. Wake to loon calls, launch a pontoon from the dock, kayak with the kids, or wander into town for tiki bars, cafes, and fun shops. Evenings bring glowing sunsets, crackling fires, fast Wi-Fi, modern comforts, and cozy fireplaces. Reel in peace, play, and five-star memories—then plan your return. The space Step through the front door and into a bright, welcoming foyer. Immediately to the right, a full-service laundry room awaits, stocked with detergent, dryer sheets, and laundry baskets so you can pack light and stay fresh. Straight inside the front door, the living room invites you to sink into dual reclining sofas, set your drink on the coffee table, and cue up your favorite show on a beautiful curved smart-TV or pop in one of the many DVDs available. A gas fireplace flickers beneath, and the remote on the table lets you master the TV or ceiling fan without ever leaving your seat. Flow into the open kitchen–dining area, where everything you need for culinary magic is at your fingertips: electric stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, air fryer, toaster, hand mixer and kitchen aid mixer, blender, slow cooker, mixing bowls, bakeware, and a full knife set. At the coffee station we have a French Press, drip, Keurig and Nespresso coffee makers (complete with milk frother), plus starter supply of Folgers Coffee, K-pods, Nespresso pods, tea, sugar, and creamer ready to go. Cupboards are loaded with spices, a starter supply of oil and vinegar, electric roaster, serving platters, plates, glasses (wine glasses, too), plastic dishes for children, pots, pans, cutting boards, and storage containers—perfect for a family feast. Six guests can gather at the dining table with seating for four at the island stools. We also supply two rolls of paper towels (one upstairs and one downstairs), fresh kitchen sponges, dish soap, dishwasher soap, kitchen garbage bags, some ziplocks bags, wax paper, aluminum foil, and household cleaning supplies. Slide open the back door to a spacious deck overlooking the yard and lake. Fire up the fully equipped Blackstone grill (complete grilling supplies located in the kitchen drawers and extra propane tank is always on site so you don't run out halfway through your meal), settle around the umbrella-topped table for six, or claim one of four extra chairs for sunset chats. The charcoal grill is located on the grilling deck (with a starter pack of charcoal and lighter fluid located in the garage).

The family room’s oversized reclining sectional, coffee table, end tables, and large TV over a second gas fireplace turn movie night into an event.

An additional deck in the backyard overlooks the lake with a second table with four chairs and joins six Adirondack chairs circling the firepit—your first bundle of wood is on us, and more is easy to find in town for around $5/bundle.
