Perfect for family getaway
The Balsam Fir cabin was exactly what our family was looking for. We were able to stay a few relaxing days in the middle of our driving vacation while we hit the states surrounding Lake Michigan. We have done several VRBO's through the years across the country, but we have never had better communication anywhere. From the prearrival emails, to the info packets in the cabin, to the big board of everything when you walk in, all possible questions and scenarios were answered. We are a family of 5, kids ages 13 - 21, so the cabin was the perfect size for us. Everyone had their own space, but more importantly, there were great spaces for us all to be together. The weather threw us a bit of a curveball so we didn't get to spend as much time out on the lake as we would have liked, but when we did get out it was awesome. Be sure and rent the pontoon, it is worth it. Only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend there. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely stay at Balsam Fir.

Great Get-A-Way
Megan is an awesome host. She is very responsive to any questions You might have. We left some items at the house and Megan had them on the way to our house before we even made it home. We spent the week fishing, boating, and exploring the are. The game room is an awesome addition and kept us busy when the weather didn’t cooperate. We had a great time and would recommend this property.

Mom's annual getaway weekend
Nice Property comfortable beds. We book a Mom's annual getaway every year most the time on Balsam lake. We have a Giant inflatable raft we like to sit and relax on and this is a great place to do that. It fit our group Great. A few things to know would be . there is Wifi but No cell reception, and the property manager stops by or someone does to clean up the property and gas the boat. ( not sure why this isn't done before guests arrive) She did text to make us aware she was coming but unfortunately I did not receive that text due to not having cell reception. so we were caught off when people just arrive. there were not blinds on the back door and one of us girls was just getting out of the shower and was in a towel - we all Kinda felt uncomfortable. The house does provide towels to shower with , but bring your own outside Beach towels those are not provided so bring your own. We enjoyed our stay , clean , organized had everything to get through our weekend.

Beautiful cabin, great setting
First, Megan is really on top of it!! She did a wonderful job communicating the details of the checkin/out process and has made up brochures with many great items including things to do, rules, contact info and descriptions of the lake and surrounding area. I’ve stayed at quite a few Vrbos and this was by far the best experience. We plan on coming back. Thank you Megan for helping create wonderful memories with my family.

Wonderful hospitality and charming home
Very clean, many amenities, and the convenience of a pontoon on site is awesome. Our kids loved the little pond on site. They were excited by the frogs and tadpoles. The owner was responsive and checked in after a storm to ensure we had power.

Loved our family vacation here!
Every year we take a family vacation in August and this was the perfect place to stay! The cabin was beautiful! We have a family of 7 and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was a bonus to us to be able to bring our 2 dogs and they had a blast jumping into the lake! The weather was beautiful when we were there and we had several of our meals out on the deck. Megan, the owner was great! We always received quick responses back to any questions we had prior to our arrival as well as when we were there. She offered suggestions for close grocery stores and restaurants. We also rented the pontoon for a day and enjoyed going around the lake seeing all the different homes. Very relaxing vacation. We had a wonderful time! Thank you, Megan, for opening your home to us!
