Remodeled home in highly desirable location!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this remodeled cabin on "Little Balsam". The house was beautiful and clean, the location was perfect - close to the boat launch and not too much boat traffic, the amenities and toys were enjoyed by all ages, and everyone slept very comfortably!

Quiet and beautiful

Just as nice as the listing appears. Beautiful lakefront home with all amenities you could want, great fishing and swimming, access to a kayak and paddle boards. The property is kept very well. We stayed Sunday to Friday and found the lake to be mostly quiet during that time.

Fantastic stay at this modern lake house at Balsam Lake!

We had a fantastic stay at this modern lake house at Balsam Lake! The home is exactly as pictured, clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with high-end finishes throughout. The open-concept living space and expansive windows made it easy to enjoy the lake views from almost every room. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals together, and we especially loved the screened deck area for morning coffee and evening drinks.The lake access was a highlight, perfect for kayaking, fishing and just soaking in the peaceful setting. We’d absolutely recommend this property and would love to return. It’s a great place to relax, recharge, and enjoy everything Balsam Lake has to offer!

Beautiful, comfortable home in a fantastic setting overlooking the lake. Extremely clean and kitchen was very well stocked with everything you may need. Beds were super comfy. The screened in porch was our morning place for coffee and looking out on the lake...perfect way to start the day. The dock was nice & also had 2 chairs to sit and ponder the day. Although we did not use the outside fireplace, it was a nice addition. Unfortunately, it was quite chilly and rainy for a good part of our stay, but was cozy inside with the wood fireplace. Very nice home!! Jacob was always quick to respond to any questions we had. I would love stay here again someday. Thank you, Jacob!

Great but could be cleaner

Great location for us. Beautiful property with lots of room. However, there were big dust bunnies under all the furniture and dead bugs in the drawer of the table in the living room. I washed the pillowcases of the double bed in the basement bedroom because they smelled. I’m certain they were not washed from the prior guest. You could use another hairdryer in the downstairs bathroom. We shared with those using the upstairs bathroom. We loved the location on the lake and the house itself. Just needs a more thorough cleaning between guests.

We are so sorry to hear that the cabin did not meet your (and our) expectations for cleanliness. As frequent travelers, we have high expectations for where we stay when on vacation and strive to create the best possible experience for our guests, as evidenced by our other 5-star reviews. We will work with our cleaning company to re-emphasize what our cleaning expectations are for our guests. Thank you for your feedback.

Amazing

Everything about this place was amazing - immaculate through out, well stocked kitchen, gorgeous views of the lake, screen room was where I spent 90% of my time(when I wasn’t outside!). Everyone loved the toys and the swim raft on pontoons. Jacob was easy to communicate with and always responded promptly. To be honest, this was not the cabin we originally booked - the one we had a reservation for was sold so in spring we had to scramble to find a new place - we lucked out that this cabin was available for our exact dates. Such a blessing in disguise - so glad it worked out how it did!

Great spot on Little Balsam

This is a beautiful, fully updated cabin. Great size for our family of 5. Fully enjoyed the wonderful spot on the lake. The cabin was clean and very well appointed. Kids loved the dock and detachable piece for their fishing adventures. What a fun discovery! Loved it and would definitely stay again!

One of the best on Balsam Lake

Our family has been renting on Balsam Lake for over 40 years. We’ve stayed at resorts and rented private homes. This gem on Little Balsam was one of our favorites and perfect for our group. Delightfully appointed, this updated modern lake home was very comfortable with wide open living spaces and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen has every gadget and appliance you need for meal prep and cooking with plenty of storage available. None of the property amenities fell short of their description on VRBO and all of them were very appreciated. Lastly, I would note the host was easy to work with and was exceptionally responsive to any question we had throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this spot on the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Jacob W

Our family of four lives, works, and goes to school in Minneapolis but loves spending time at Balsam Lake — we hope you will love spending time there too!

Why they chose this property

This is a newly built modern lake house less than 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities. It's comfortable, clean, and quiet — perfect for a relaxing getaway with friends and family, children and adults. During the day, take to the water on a paddleboard or kayak, fish from the dock, relax on the deck, or grill on the patio. At night, play a board game on the huge kitchen island, read a book on the plush couches, watch a movie on the flatscreen, or take in the night sounds on the screened-in porch.

What makes this property unique

The property manager stays in a detached garage off to the side of the lake house. He takes care of the yard and shoreline and is available to answer any questions you may have.
