What a cozy cabin, well-equipped, and a gorgeous view over the lake. Deer passing through the yard, and a pair of eagles perching right outside the sunroom. Beds were very comfortable.

Our stay at this northern cabin was outstanding from start to finish. The cabin itself was spotless — truly one of the cleanest vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced. Every detail felt intentional, cozy, and welcoming, with unique touches that made the space feel both rustic and special.Communication with the host was exceptional. They were fast, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. When a blizzard rolled in and created a weather emergency, they were understanding, flexible, and genuinely caring about our safety and comfort. That level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated.The accommodations were fantastic, offering the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and northern character. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind.Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean, and well‑hosted escape. We would absolutely stay again!

Beautiful location on quiet road, and peaceful lake. Interior very clean! Caught lots of fish from the dock and saw some beautiful sunrise and sunsets! Had a family of otters keep me company each morning right by the dock! My kids loved the built in beds downstairs! Checking and communication were wonderful! My only critiques: master bed is quite broken in and had a big "hump" in the middle, the outdoor grill was kinda falling apart and certainly needs replacing, and the bench and posts on the dock were very loose and coming apart which made them a bit hazardous. Normal wear/tear issues though that could easily be remedied. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful getaway!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin on Balsam Lake! The downstairs area was perfect for the kids and we had plenty to do between fishing and the kayaks. We braved the seaweed in the middle of the lake for a short swim but were happiest on top of the water.

Preview to 4th of July Celebration

This was a great stay for parents with married children as well as a teen and 10 year old boy.Cabin is well comfortable for six, but not spacious, also a little fun and quirky. There is plenty of room outside for spreading out.The lake is not large, but fairly quiet and peaceful, great for included kayaks.

The lower level a godsend for those traveling with kids: feels like a real cabin, built-in beds, and a lovely sitting area looking directly onto the lake. Upstairs two spacious bedrooms, another living area again looking out onto the lake, and a full kitchen with mordern amenities kitchen
