Balsalm Lake, serene and welcoming was just steps away. The cottage was clean and cozy for us but would be perfectly outfitted for a large family with the extra family room. The cottage owner was helpful with immediate communication when needed. We loved swimming in the clean lake water or relaxing on the large deck.

Plenty of room inside the cottage for 6 of us. Would stay here again! Unrelated to the cottage itself, but a tip for future renters: the garbage dump near Fenelon Falls already had a 30min wait at 9:15 am on the Saturday we were leaving (opens at 9:00am). So be prepared to possibly wait or just bring your garbage home for disposal. ##### Jessica H.

We could have brought less stuff but we will know for next time. The owner was very good at fast responses to any questions. Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. ##### Catherine C.

The back deck is also an added asset. The neighbours were welcoming and friendly. ##### Vy W.

Cottage had plenty of room and was stocked with everything we need. My son has a boat and it was great to have the dock right out front and the fishing was excellent! Situated in the bay the water was so calm, nice quiet peaceful location. ##### Cathie M.

Wonderful lake front and roomy cottage. Would definitely return. Unfortunately the A/C failed halfway through the week and we spent two afternoons dealing with repairmen that could not fix the issue. ##### Patti-Ann A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ---
