Relaxing lake time
The cabin is small and simple but all you need for a relaxing long weekend away. It was nice to rent the pontoon and get out on the lake. Balsam Lake is lovely. Deborah is a great communicator and host!

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.

What a great trip!
My husband and I stayed with our 3 kids (21, 14, and 10)...the cabin was so cute and had everything we needed. We rented the pontoon boat and had such a great day on the lake, swimming and fishing. The fun room was great also, honestly everything was perfect! Debbie is a fantastic person quick to reply to messages and very accommodating. We will for sure come back again.

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.
