Fall Break Getaway
We had a wonderful stay! Kelsey did a fantastic job communicating everything. The cabin was just as described, plus many west facing windows overlooking the lake for gorgeous sunsets over the fall colors. Easy drive from Minneapolis. We hope to return in the summer to enjoy the water.

Sunset Cabin time
The Sunset cabin worked perfect for our group. The kitchen is very well stocked. The view of the lake is very restful both from inside and from outside. The dock and water provided lots of fun for the kids, and the fishing was very good. The response to any question was immediate and we felt well cared for.

Cozy cabin on a nice lake. The patio above boathouse is a great way to spend a quiet evening with a fire table and beautiful lake view. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious.

Great place to stay!
We went as a family and everyone had a great time! Fishing on the boat and off the dock gave us lots of great stories! The campfire was nice to roast hot dogs and smores! The boat deck is wonderful for watching sunsets and drinking coffee in the morning! The neighbor was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Sauna looks inviting but never made time to use it. The street is a dead end in both directions which made it safe for walks with the kids. I wish we would of brought scooters or bikes, roads are nicely paved. The location of the cabin on the lake was nice for our family kayakers, not too much boat traffic. Definately going back next year!

Balsam Lake Perfect location!
This location is amazing! Balsam Lake is perfect for boating, tubing, jet skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing. We caught lots of fish right off of the dock. Brought a boat and a watercraft and they both easily fit on the dock. In the evening, the fire pit was great for a sunset bonfire and s’mores and in the am the deck above the boathouse was perfect for watching the loons. Wow! We are hoping to get back there next year!! The cabin was very clean and cozy!

Great Cabin for Making Memories
We wanted a cabin to make more family memories with our kids and grandkids and the cabin had all we needed to do just that! The views from the new boat deck and house deck are beautiful. The steps off of the dock for the grand kids to swim worked just great. Lots of room to gather together or the kids to have their own space and TV! This cabin sure meet our needs! Comfy with beautiful views!

Family fun at the lake
This lake home exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of areas for separation both inside and out. We started our mornings on the boathouse deck and ended the afternoons playing games on the house deck. Several evenings we had a fire in the fire pit with wood that was cut and split for our use.

Great Stay
We stayed here twice this summer for a long weekend with our kids ages 12-20. Property was nice and clean. No issues so no need to contact property manager/owner. Great spot on Balsam Lake and Boat house porch was perfect to watch sunset and drink coffee in the morning overlooking the lake!
