Overpriced

Lovely location, nice dock. Clean inside. The property has some water issues. Got to wait over five minutes for hot water. Low water pressure and as a result no dishwasher, no ice maker, poor shower. Outside the furniture is well used and the BBQ hasnt been cleaned in a very long time. Overall we were not impressed and checked out a day early. Not worth the 660 a day price tag.

Amazing property. Inside of house recently renovated, all top end finishes. Views from the deck and dock were unparalleled. location was quiet - great place to relax and unwind. house on a point - can't see any neighbors - huge plus.Tyler was very responsive and accommodating to all our needs.Deck/dock get full sun from about noon till sunset. Could use a few more umbrellas for shade - Tyler did offer to bring them over.great to watch the wildlife and waterfowl.Sunsets were unbelievable.water was crystal clear - great to just jump in and go for a swim.We will be back to Balsam lake in the future.

The key was the service provided by the host, responsive, effective, friendly and generous. The space provided an exceptional cottage get away. The deck, dock and view are awesome. Some equipment, i.e. kayak not great. Worth the visit. Thanks Tyler

Balsam Lake cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lighthouse cottage, on MacDonald point, on Balsam Lake! The cottage is nicely renovated and fully stocked. The deck is right on the water to enjoy beautiful sunsets. The dock is long and easy to access for an aluminum fishing boat.

Great location

It was a grey stay, it was a little confusing since there are two buildings on the property, but it was quickly resolved. The only critique is there weren’t enough life jackets and paddles and life jackets for the kayaks. Tyler did try to get us some but did not provide as mentioned. Other than that it was fantastic!!! Thank you

Million dollar view

My siblings and I really enjoyed our stay. We spent our youth in the 1960’s in Driftwood Village and we enjoyed the walk around the neighbourhood and reminiscing. The cottage was wonderful, clean and inviting. The views on the deck were spectacular. Would love to return one day.
