She made the check in and check out process seamless. Balsam lake is fabulous and we loved the screen porch and deck to fully enjoy the lake.

This property worked perfectly for our family! The screened in porch and deck was ideal! The kids caught so many fish right off the dock and the view is amazing! We brought our boat and the lake was so much fun! We went to the Thirsty Otter for dinner on the boat and the kids thought that was great! ##### Diane S.

We absolutely loved the view from the cabin's screened in porch. Beds were comfortable. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina located on Balsam Lake for both days and had great time. Enjoyed the on-site stand up paddle boards. Host was delightful to work with. ##### erin h.

Adorable house. It’s smaller and shows it’s been loved. But as like other reviews, we spent most of our time on the spectacular, spacious deck and screened in porch.We brought our boat and explored beautiful 2,000 acre Balsam Lake. The grandkids tubed and fished. It was too weedy to swim off the dock, but the paddle boards and paddle boat got them out far enough to swim. They loved the place.Excellent communication from owner. We appreciated the small things they provided; paper plates, seasonings, etc. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam N. 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Cabin for Family Cabin worked out great for 5 adults and 2 children. We brought a fishing boat which was easy to to get docked at the cabin. Fishing was also good right off the dock. The screen room was great for relaxing in the evening. We had a very nice time. ##### Adam N.

We greatly enjoyed the swinging hammock chair, fire pit, and screened porch areas with ample seating for all the family to enjoy. Having just a DVD player was nice as it encouraged everyone to play games at night. ##### Heather S.

Beautiful lake. Well equipped home, comfy and great accommodations! Host was great to work with. Only critique is no WiFi and very limited channels on tv. But that’s minor and did not detract from the lovely time. Thank you! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa M. 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This visit was our second, and was just as wonderful as the first. It's our new home-away-from-home--the most comfortable of all the lake houses we've rented. It's styled and furnished well, including lighting, throw blankets, rugs & pillows, details which are often missed. It's stocked with everything you might need, including sound machines & room darkening curtains because good sleep is important! Our favorite room is the screened in porch, but there's also a rockin rooftop patio on top of the boathouse --all connected and visible from the kitchen. Dock is great for fishing, stargazing, and docking your boat. The view is incredible; the lot and driveway/parking is great. I love this end of Balsam Lake; it's quieter and the neighbors are quiet as well so there's privacy. Rebekah is super responsive and a wonderful host. We're looking forward to next year, already. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4e87927d-4c6e-4f27-945e-0c2d5095f0db-1755993562996.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce9eba0b-021b-4ee6-b7b4-2155f697ff0b-1755993569584.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9c669123-82cd-4065-9ece-9b80ebd2fc74-1755993565309.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f256ebc-a014-473e-8104-6e6b8567443f-1755993569508.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melissa M.

You need to bring very little except your personal items and food--and even that--there's a long list of local food options in Rebekah's detailed guest booklet. We haven't been more comfortable anywhere else. It's spacious and cozy at the same time. Beds and bedrooms are comfortable: room darkening window covering options and fans in each--and sound machines! AC works well too.The views from the kitchen, family room,screened porch, deck atop the boathouse are phenomenal. We love the slightly quieter location on the lake, even amidst neighbors. The dock is in great shape and is a favorite for fishing if you can't take a boat out (see pic). Rebekah is an excellent host-- very responsive. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9205e977-379d-4245-bfb8-8cd935e9a05f-1752449276735.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melissa M.

The house was everything we need to 2 family's of 4\. The house is obviously used by family and friends because it is STOCKED with EVERYTHING you need. We were shocked how much was there for us to use. The wifi was no bit deal - our kids were having to much fun to be plugged in and it forced us adults to talk and read and relax. We would come back in a heartbeat and plan to next summer! ##### Nicole M.

The screened back porch kept us mosquito free with plenty of seating and room to move around in. The view cannot be beat and the beds were comfortable and large. I would stay again! If you are planning to stay here, know that there is no wifi and no laundry on premises (the listing does not indicate otherwise, these are just two items we accidentally of overlooked when making our selection). Other than that, we had everything we needed! ##### Christine H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah J., Minneapolis 10 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Pleasant week at Balsam lake Awesome lakefront and well kept and stocked home. Great and ample water toys. We especially loved the large screened in porch. We were disappointed that the listing was misleading in one aspect. It neither confirmed or denied that there was WiFi, which would have been useful to know as the house has spotty cell tower connectivity. After we booked it said to contact the host for WiFi information, which made it seem like they would present us with login info, or something similar. However the property does not have wifi at all. We would choose this place again but the owners should clarify WiFi status. ##### Sarah J. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Danielle L., Independence 22 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Nice Place This place is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. We spent most of our time on the small tennis court on the property that is the perfect size for pickle ball. We brought removable lines and a net for our stay. There are large cracks in the court which might deter serious players, but added an element of humor and fun for us. There were seven of us, and that there wasn't enough couch/chair seating for all of us to gather in the family room area which was unfortunate. The cabin is older but has been updated and is comfortable. I also didn't realize that the King bed in one of the rooms was actually a day bed and trundle put together which was not ideal for my husband and I who had already set up in that room (better for kids, maybe). The views are beautiful, however, and there is plenty of seating outdoors. We also enjoyed using the two paddle boards. One of us had to work one of the days and was able to connect to a hotspot and use a computer due to no wifi. It was nice to disconnect from tech for a few days as well. Overall, the cabin worked very well for us and we had a great time! ##### Danielle L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cindy a. 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to make great memories. Our class of '81 friends got together for an annual reunion. We loved the space! The screen porch that overlooked the lake was used for coffee mornings and catching up evenings. We enjoyed the fire pit and watched the moon come up, hoping to glimpse some of the possible northern light show. This cottage is very well stocked for cooking, might need to bring some more foil and food storage containers, but there are plenty of kitchen towels, wash clothes and bath towels. There is a nice big, square dining table for meals and game playing. The beds were comfortable and three of the rooms had king beds, which was great for our crew. There was so many water toys! The dock was used a lot too. We recommend renting a pontoon from Sunnyside Marina that was about a 10-15 minute cruise to the cottage. The lake is huge and fun to explore. Be sure to get a map of the lake with an explanation of the underwater hazard areas, but also the restaurants and bars. We ate out one night at the Thirsty Otter, pretty good. If you want a supper club, make ressys at least three weeks in advance. Went to Balsam Lake Lodge just for drinks (have food too), it was a very nice bar. Rebekah the host is so very nice to work with to get details, recommendations and responded to any questions we had right away. She did a great job of making her multi-generation owned cottage charming and welcoming. She knows so much of the area and has lots of recommendations in her welcome book. Will definitely book again! ##### cindy a.

We were there during the week so there was little activity on the lake. We enjoyed fishing both from the dock and with our boat. It was also great to have our pup Jaxx with us. Thank you for allowing us to use your property. ##### River Valley B.

This was our second year renting this property and it was once again a lovely combination of comfort and convenience. We loved the new landscaping and other updates, including A/C! Such a special experience. ##### Christian v.

Bedrooms were well equipped with comfortable beds. The two bathrooms were nice and the showers had great water pressure. The kitchen/outdoor grill has everything you need for meals, including a wonderful dining table for mealtime. We also enjoyed the rentals paddle boards and propane firepit. We were able to rent a pontoon from Sunnyside Marina on Balsam Lake, which allowed us to fully enjoy all of the lake while docking at the rental. You can even get to a few restaurants by water. When we were not on the water, we spent all of our time in the screened-in-porch. It was amazing for playing games, reading, and relaxing. It was a great stay. I would recommend to anyone considering. ##### William M.

It was very clean and had a lot of amenities to use. The lake view was amazing and the screened in area was great for when it was raining. Rebekah was extremely responsive and helpful. We loved it so much we are already looking at available dates for next summer! ##### Brooke S.

The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you'll need to make your stay enjoyable. We appreciated how thoughtful and elegant all of the little helpful things were- like a s'mores kit, plenty of supplies for cooking and eating, and the guide to local favorites. This was our first trip to Balsam Lake- we visited the village and loved it, but also loved coming home to our little slice of lakeside bliss. We can't wait to come back! ##### Mary T.
