NOTE: If you plan to have your family members including the furry kind (Dog) travel to Balsam Lake and accompany you for your stay at our property please click on the "TRAVELERS" drop down section on the reservation page and please be sure to accurately adjust the total number of guests up to a non-negotiable MAXIMUM of 6 that will be staying in the home between the hours of 11pm and 7am, NO EXCEPTIONS! Violations of this rule are easily verified through recorded security cameras and will result in a forfeiture of deposit. We allow and encourage renters to enjoy their time in Balsam Lake with their dog(s) but please check the box for traveling with pets. Accuracy when making your reservation in regards to both of the above makes for a much smoother transaction than us having to modify your charges after the fact once we see you arrive on the security cameras with more persons than stated on your reservation or your pet.

Last things- The outdoor fire pit / lake photo in this posting's photo gallery is not taken at this property but rather from the patio at Balsam Lake Lodge Bar & Restaurant located 1 mile East of the home, we added it because we think it is a beautiful photo that was taken close by. Rental of this home does NOT include access to, or use of the garage for parking, storage, event space or for any other purpose.

We have stayed at a variety of cabins in balsam lake over the last 10 years and this was absolutely our favorite! It was spacious, comfortable, clean and well stocked for everything we needed. The host was so responsive to any of our questions. We plan to stay again in the future!

Peaceful stay
The weather was sunny, warm, or wet, cool during our 5 day stay but the rental was enjoyable the whole time. We often walked into town. The rental was welcoming and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook simple meals or reheat our leftovers. Good quiet sleeping at night. Highly recommended. Host was great!
