Probably Won't Stay Again
While this may be more fun with a larger group in the summer, to split the overall cost and take advantage of the outside fire pit, my husband and I were not very happy with the overall experience in late October for the price of over $500 total (with fees and insurance) for only two nights for two adults ... The house is quaint and decorated (paint, furniture, linens) nicely on the inside but it is clearly older (sagging porch gate, dip in kitchen floor, weird musty smell throughout) and too 'tight' in a few places (one and only bathroom, staircase ... couldn't even open one kitchen drawer with some complimentary toiletries as it hits the dishwasher). Furthermore, because it has sheer curtains on the living room windows (off the main road) and no cover curtain or blind on the main entry door with a huge glass windowpane (which is on the back of the house where no one else can easily see), I myself didn't feel comfortable sleeping upstairs (as someone could come to the glass door, see no one in the kitchen / living area there on the bottom floor, simply break the glass to get it). Bottom line: I was hopeful for a reasonably decent experience but it just didn't quite live up to that.

We have put a curtain on the entry door window. We have put a couple more curtains on the living room window. The bathroom area is pretty small but the plus is that it has the full bathtub which I always love. We run a dehumidifier and air purifier in the home now sometimes constantly and other times of year as needed. The kitchen drawer does open but not when the dishwasher is cracked so you have to just figure that out I guess as most guests do.

In town for one night
The only thing I would add is towel rack in the bathroom. When you wash your hands in the bathroom there is no towel available to dry your hands. Ok and maybe a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

Labor DayWeekend Stay in Balsam Lake
Very clean little house. Well stocked kitchen that we just used for breakfast. We used the place to sleep otherwise we were out and about. It’s on a main road and had occasional traffic noise at night The driveway up to the house is short and steep and not good for a low ground clearance car. There is parking in back of the garage through the alley. Didn’t like that the one small bathroom is downstairs by back door and bedrooms are upstairs. Had a pluming issue in the bathroom that I communicated to the Host about and hope they fix for the next guest. Overall it served our needs and was a good place to stay.

Beautiful Balsam Lake
The cost for 4 nights was very reasonable. Tareh responded to any questions I had in a very timely manner. The house was basically comfortable, but I think the living room could use a comfortable chair such as a recliner.

I have updated the living room with a comfy leather chair in addition to couch with footstool that was there. 😀

Great Home
My husband and I treated his youngest sister to a 4-day weekend as many of her activities are still canceled due to COViD-19. We were able to keep her care routine the same while making new memories and experiences for her. The house was clean, comfortable, and we enjoyed the walks to close by restaurants. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity to revisit the area.

This house was perfect for our needs for a short stay. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Nice to have more room than at a motel. Hosts were professional, friendly, and accommodating.

Nice needs more amenities
Place was great overall. Needs kitchen towels, glassware and stemware. The jacuzzi tub was nice it is however not level and the bottom is very slippery. I suggest some non skid/slip stickies. For the person sleeping on the couch, the place really needs some blackout curtains as there is a street light that is on all night, very disturbing on sleep.

Short Stay in Balsam Lake
The house was great for us as we needed a short over night stay. The beds were very comfortable. There could be a few updates. example: Curtains rods on sliding door need to be fixed. The house number wasn't on the mail box or house which would be helpful. These are minor things. I would and very possible will need to stay there again. Price was very reasonable.

Good stay but could have been better
Would have given this rental a higher review but with the TV not having any use at all not even local channels and no hand towels I think it could have been better

*Update...we have wi-if now. *The tv is a 55 inch smart tv with a DVD player hooked up to it and we have a handful of family friendly movies there for guests. We do not have wi-fi, but if you have hotspot on your phone to get internet on the tv. We have a hand towel on the kitchen stove and paper towels on a roll for guests.
