Great cabin in a great area

Check in was simple with a simple door code. Check out procedures were also simple and doable. We enjoyed the cabin and lake. Plenty of things to do in the area, including golf, fishing, and town is a 15 minute walk away. Would definitely consider staying here again.

big family gathering

really nice, not super luxe, but lots of nice spaces for the children to play. Everyone of us agreed the beds were comfy and the bedding fresh. We loved the extra porch fridge and all the nice firewood for the fire pit. All in all -pretty great :)

Family Gathering

Ample bath towels, dish soap/pods, laundry pods, firewood, kitchenware, family room seating, blankets/pillows.Our initial reaction was that it wasn't worth what we paid. One of the bedrooms did not have a separate entrance, except for going through another bedroom. Lacked kitchen towels/dishcloths and lighting over the dining room table. Be aware of very low ceiling clearance on steps.

Great place to stay on the lake

This property was perfect for our needs. We had plenty of space for everyone and everything in the kitchen that we needed. Having the extra refrigerator on the porch was a plus. The younger kids enjoyed the swings and slide. The older ones enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboat. The pontoon boat was enjoyed by all. Tina and Tammy were very responsive and answered all our questions quickly. We stayed here 2 years ago and enjoyed it even more this time. Great place for large families. Only downside would be sharing outside space and things (kayaks and paddleboat) with renters across the street. They can drop by whenever they want so just be aware. We got along with first group really well; the second group were not quite as considerate (leaving things out and not picking up after themselves). But it was just a minor annoyance. Overall, a really great space to vacation. We would return again.

Wonderful Property

This was a great place for our family of 8 adults, a three year old and two infants. There was plenty of room to spread out and also areas to all be together! There was a lot of choices for things to do both in the house ( on a rainy day) and outdoors. We loved the paddle boat, kayak, pontoon, yard games and the play area. As a family we were able to cook (and we found everything we needed to do so) and there was room outside or in to all eat together.

Everything we needed!

We had a WONDERFUL time at Balsam Lake. It is a very fun little town and the house had everything we needed. We enjoyed renting the pontoon (a last minute request that was a life saver for us!!!!), the kayaks, paddleboat, yard games, playground equipment for my grandson, and the amazing fire pit. We had 9 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The kitchen was well stocked with all appliances. We used the Blackstone grill everyday. Thanks to Tanya, Tina and Tammy for all their hospitality! It is a 5-star!

Great place

We loved our stay! Great location and plenty to do. We rented the pontoon boat 1 day when all the family was here and had a great time. Took the paddle boat numerous times, everyone had a ride, and we all enjoyed it. Took a lot of long walks and ate out several times. We highly recommend Thirsty Otter, Balsam Lake Cafe and Doc's Pub. The hosts were easy to contact and very helpful and responsive. The house had everything we could possible need. Lots of room and we enjoyed the fireplace and games. Campfire was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place, beautiful lake, fantastic amenities!

We had such an amazing time here at the lake with family and friends. Plenty of beds for a larger crowd, and space throughout the house and property to spread out enough to stay entertained. You can play board games, read a book, take a nap on a hammock, do some fishing, take out the kayaks or boat, roast s’mores, put on a show if the kids need a physical break. We highly recommend this place to any families or groups looking for a fun getaway. Very satisfied guests here, and we will happily come again.

This cabin is well worth the stay. It's got everything you need. It's very quiet in the bay. Not great for swimming, but a little trip out to the lake works nicely. Plus, public beach is nearby.. Two refrigerators are great for food, beverages and ice. Really nice fire pit. Highly recommend.

Home away from home

We had our first family get away here to celebrate the graduation of my twin boys and there future endeavors! The cabin location and morning sunrise view of Lake Balsam is calming and breathtaking. Plenty of parking and storage, brand new washer and dryer with cozy beds and linens, truely made to feel welcomed. Throughout our stay we had extended friends and family visit being able to pack less with a lot of the nice amenities included made packing light a breeze. We loved the rooms having multiple sleeping options that met the needs of all of us from the kids wanting to share rooms to adults that wanted their own. The owners of this cozy family cabin are exceptional and take the extra length to ensure your stay is comfortable and accommodated to your needs. Hence, feeling personable and caring- like a home away from home. We had an awesome time-thank you!

What makes this property unique

Because of the bay location, it is nice to have wind coverage and calm water making it nicer to send kids out on the paddleboat without the extra worries of boat traffic and waves.
