About this property

Beautiful Balsam Lake Retreat-2Hammocks on Balsam

Year round lakehouse/cottage on Balsam Lake in the Kawarthas. Enjoy the lake via the spectacular dock or by kayak, paddle board, canoe or on the ice in winter. The lakehouse has all the comforts of home but the real attraction is the sandbar location on Balsam Lake and it’s peaceful tranquility and crystal clear water. Fall asleep listening to the loons while the fire crackles. See the reflection of Venus shimmering on the lake and be inspired by the Milky Way. Enjoy the sunset from a hammock!
