Lots of bees had built nests around all entrances and they had someone out within an hour to take care of it. There is a fire pit and they had a basket full of s'mores stuff which was a cute touch. I wish there had been a Bluetooth speaker so we had some music, but that was the only thing lacking! I would definitely recommend this rental! ##### Megan T.

Feb 16, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrible The host never sent us the access code to get into the house, so we never were able to stay. Tried contacting him numerous times through messages and phone calls on our 6 hour drive there with no response. There was 1 room available at the lodge that night that we were able to get. There was nothing available the next night due to the event we were there for, but luckily we knew someone in the area and were able to sleep on couches with our kids at the house they rented. If i could give them 0 stars i would, it was a nightmare. ##### Brittany H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### May Seng C.

Family of 5 all enjoyed ourselves. Note: This is an older home that’s been remodeled (except upstairs bathroom), but if you’re expecting brand new, higher-end you probably would be more comfortable somewhere else. If not, I highly recommend and would consider staying here again for sure. ##### Kayann B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim S.

Although it is not located right on the lake, the walk to the dock is minimal and an easy walk. Jeremy was very accommodating and allowed us 2 spots on his dock for both of our boats! The lake was great for both fishing and water sports! The cabin itself is clean and has been stocked with many essentials (linen/towels/ tp/ pots/ even complimentary shampoo/conditioner etc.) The only thing I would caution renters with would be the friendly neighborhood pets 🙂 There are a few friendly dogs who like to roam the neighborhood. We can’t thank Jeremy and family enough for allowing us to stay on his property and being so accommodating! ##### Stephanie R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth G.

The cabin has been remodeled with modern updates, is comfortable, dog and kid friendly (though our kids are all adults now) and a short walk to the dock. The water is great for boating and swimming. We rented the pontoon for a day, and it was waiting for us at the dock in the morning. The cabin has everything you need. Owner was quick to respond and checked in with us via text.

Very friendly owners who allowed us to use their own property that was on the lake. The house was updated with nice touches. We knew the house was not right on the lake and would not rent it again because that proved to be important. Also there were no windows that could open in the bedrooms and no shade on the west picture window. This meant we couldn’t get air flow. They need an umbrella on the deck. However, overall, we liked the place and the people. ##### Michael C. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric Y.

The inside has a nice open plan to hang out and entertain. We were able to rent a pontoon for the day which allowed us to explore the lake and enjoy all of Lake Balsam. We only had 4 people and 2 dogs staying at the property, but it can easily accommodate 8 people and the perfect spot for a mini-getaway with friends. Jason (property manager) and Jeremy (owner) were available if we needed anything and very friendly guys. ##### Eric Y. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sally N. Dec 27, 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointing The cabin is mid renovation. Our stay started with icy entrance stairs and went down from there. Countertop not attached to cabinets, exposed wires in kitchen, broken handle on microwave, construction adhesive on several areas of the floor, non functioning regulator on well so if you are in the shower don’t let anyone turn on a faucet, not enough kitchen towels, kitchen window installed sideways so opens without control and takes 2 people to close. Luckily it did not break when it snapped open. Indicates it sleeps 9 but no one was brave enough to sleep on the top bunk, way too unsteady, so slept on floor. One small garbage can so trash bags everywhere. No space for recycling. Don’t be fooled by the note you will be provided a WiFi password, bring your own WiFi. Not good communication about a couple specific items, was told not there so we packed and brought and then was there as well. Although the renovation that has been done is nice, in my opinion it is not ready for vacationers or groups of 9. ##### Sally N. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy K.

It fit all 8 of us very comfortably. The property manager was quick to respond with any questions prior to our arrival and we met the owners upon arrival and they were extremely nice and helpful. It was super nice that they allow you to use their Golf Cart for bringing stuff down to the dock. And a big bonus that you could also rent their pontoon for an additional fee. Balsam Lake is a great lake and we enjoyed being able to cruise around on the pontoon. The cabin was very clean and recently renovated, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook. The firepit was nice for bonfires and the big yard was perfect for playing outside games. It was the perfect way to end our summer before the kids head back to school ##### Lisa J.

The house is great, just a minute walk to the pier where we had access to a boat we rented and were able to leave it overnight, Lake Balsam was a nice find, many things to do in the area but also quiet enough to enjoy. The house has been remodeled and everything was clean and works well, my only comment to the host was with the water, there seems to be a lot of iron or something on the water and it smells like it and also leaves residue in the bathrooms, hopefully something that can be address with a house filter of some sort, we didn’t enjoy the smell of it while showering or washing hands, but otherwise the house is great, the yard was amazing for games with the kids and some good s’mores! The teens complained that there was no wifi but I loved it! We were able to watch the Olympics with the antenna on the tv and no one was on a cell phone or ipad, cell reception is good just no wifi, so felt like a real vacation with family time. We also made a change to our reservation and Jason was very prompt to fix that plus any texts messages through our stay. Thank you! ##### Cecilia M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021
