Balsam Lake get away - 4 day weekend
My husband and I and my two pups booked a 4 day weekend for one last summer hurrah 9/29 through 10/2. Property was as described, location was perfect, sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. It was very peaceful as no other cabins were occupied except our host Debbie! Thank you for a wonderful get away Debbie - your property was well-maintained and lovely for our needs.

Lake vacation
Cottage was well kept and clean. Perfect location. Only 1 mile from town (Balsam Lake). Plenty of parking. Host was very accessible. Hearing the loons on the lake was a bonus!

Weekend getaway
The cabin and property exceeded expectations. Great location right on balsam lake. We had 4 young kids and there was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable and enjoy a cabin experience. Debbie was great and handled everything we needed.

Perfect for two with a view
Cute and cozy cabin close to the lake with a front living room full of windows. We went in early October and it was cooler than normal so the cabin was a little chilly. The host already had a space heater running before we arrived. She checked on us a couple times to make sure we we’re staying warm. Our host was very friendly and takes great care of her properties.
