Beautiful home with an amazing lake view, outdoor gathering spaces, great kitchen with everything you need. The host Erin was great to work with and responded timely. Wonderful time, would book again.
The property was great! Beautiful setting on Balsam lake with lots of room to spread out. The kitchen/dining area was a highlight of the house and a lot of time was spent gathered there. It was great to be able to walk to Balsam lodge for a boat rental. The hosts were very responsive and kind to work with during the stay! Would definitely recommend !
I have all great things to say! Communication was great, check-in was easy, the listing was 100% accurate, the view was amazing, the location was perfect, the home was comfortable and welcoming. We walked to Balsam Lake Bar & Grill for great food and music the first night. We drove just a short distance to hiking trails and wineries. We spent time on the lake. We loved this girls trip! Thank you for this great vacation location!

I am so glad you had a wonderful time. We would be delighted to have you all back anytime. You were terrific guests!
You cannot beat this property! We stayed for a week with our 18 and 20 year old sons! Everyone was fully entertained and relaxed all week! Well appointed kitchen! Property amenities and layout supported family time and separate time! Beautiful landscaped yard with easy water access for fishing or floating! We will be back!
We had 2 families with adult children stay here. We had plenty of room. We had a great time and only wish it hadn’t rained as much. We did get one day to enjoy playing pickleball outside on the driveway and then going on the lake for a boat ride. Id say our only complaint would be that 2 pull out couch beds were not comfortable. And the “library desk area” could be better utilized as another room or a twin daybed (trundle bed). Thanks so much! We hope to visit again!
