Balsam lake

The cabin is right on the lake with bald eagles flying by several times a day. The only issue we had was with the bed in room 4, it was very uncomfortable.

Very Nice Place

This place is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. We spent most of our time on the small tennis court on the property that is the perfect size for pickle ball. We brought removable lines and a net for our stay. There are large cracks in the court which might deter serious players, but added an element of humor and fun for us. There were seven of us, and that there wasn't enough couch/chair seating for all of us to gather in the family room area which was unfortunate. The cabin is older but has been updated and is comfortable. I also didn't realize that the King bed in one of the rooms was actually a day bed and trundle put together which was not ideal for my husband and I who had already set up in that room (better for kids, maybe). The views are beautiful, however, and there is plenty of seating outdoors. We also enjoyed using the two paddle boards. One of us had to work one of the days and was able to connect to a hotspot and use a computer due to no wifi. It was nice to disconnect from tech for a few days as well. Overall, the cabin worked very well for us and we had a great time!

Perfect spot on the lake

We were in a great spot on Balsam Lake - much less traffic and quiet. The house was everything we need to 2 family's of 4. The house is obviously used by family and friends because it is STOCKED with EVERYTHING you need. We were shocked how much was there for us to use. The wifi was no bit deal - our kids were having to much fun to be plugged in and it forced us adults to talk and read and relax. We would come back in a heartbeat and plan to next summer!

Nice Cabin for Family

Cabin worked out great for 5 adults and 2 children. We brought a fishing boat which was easy to to get docked at the cabin. Fishing was also good right off the dock. The screen room was great for relaxing in the evening. We had a very nice time.

Pleasant week at Balsam lake

Awesome lakefront and well kept and stocked home. Great and ample water toys. We especially loved the large screened in porch. We were disappointed that the listing was misleading in one aspect. It neither confirmed or denied that there was WiFi, which would have been useful to know as the house has spotty cell tower connectivity. After we booked it said to contact the host for WiFi information, which made it seem like they would present us with login info, or something similar. However the property does not have wifi at all. We would choose this place again but the owners should clarify WiFi status.

About the host

Hosted by Rebekah L Stangl

This cabin has been in our family for over 50 years. It has been a source of many laughs and days of relaxation, as well as fun times and family bonding. There is nothing more amazing than the feeling of the sun on your back while the fresh breeze of the lake is on your face. We are at a point in our lives where we would like to share our little piece of heaven, especially in these times of difficulty. I am the mother of two beautiful young women and the step-mother of 3 delightful little boys. We love fishing, four-wheeling, boating and just being on the lake or outdoors. In the boathouse you will find paddleboards and a paddleboat if you want to slow down your lake living experience or feel free to visit Sunnyside Marina and rent a boat or jet-skis and live it up. There are also two restaurants on the lake to enjoy for all your dining experiences.

Why they chose this property

This property allows for all your vacationing needs in one spot. Once you arrive you won't need to leave. A whole host of services are located right on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Balsam Lake is unique as it is located only about an hour to an hour and a half outside of the Twin Cities. It is also unique with its access to two on the lake restaurants and a marina. It is great for fishing, as well as swimming and all your recreational needs, but doesn't harbor the craziness and congestion of the lakes near the cities. Our property is located on 1 1/2 acres so you have plenty of space to spread out and have some on land fun as well as water fun.
