Woodsy Waterfront Retreat on Gorgeous Balsam Lake

Enjoy this gorgeous lakefront property with views of all 3 islands. Plenty of sleeping space with lake views from every room: room 1 king, room 2 bunk bed queen bottom/twin top, room 3 has 2 queen beds, & downstairs living room pullout couch (sleeps 2 adults or 3 children).

Spread out with an upstairs and downstairs living room both with fireplaces, a game room with a pool table, an office with wifi, plus a large kitchen with an expansive island (seats 6), and dining space (seats 8).

Apart from the main house is a 3-season porch with floor to ceiling windows that includes 2 pull out beds (sleeps 3), full bath, fireplace, and a spacious gaming area with darts & board games.

Outdoors you'll enjoy private lakefront access, a dock, a boathouse deck with amazing views - great for large groups, a gas grill, bonfire pit, and a pickleball court. There is an outdoor shower if you'd like to rinse off after your lake time fun.

This retreat has a long driveway with plenty of parking, including access to the garage (2 stalls). Plus, it's 2 doors down (5 min. walk) from Balsam Lake Lodge where you can enjoy live music and a full bar/restaurant right on the water. The marina with gas is next door. City centre Balsam Lake with bars, restaurants, and coffee/ice cream shops is 1.5 miles away.

We offer a boat and lake toys for rent. Message the host, Erin, for more details.

We look forward to hosting you!

The property was great! Beautiful setting on Balsam lake with lots of room to spread out. The kitchen/dining area was a highlight of the house and a lot of time was spent gathered there. It was great to be able to walk to Balsam lodge for a boat rental. The hosts were very responsive and kind to work with during the stay! Would definitely recommend !

Excellent in all aspects!

I have all great things to say! Communication was great, check-in was easy, the listing was 100% accurate, the view was amazing, the location was perfect, the home was comfortable and welcoming. We walked to Balsam Lake Bar & Grill for great food and music the first night. We drove just a short distance to hiking trails and wineries. We spent time on the lake. We loved this girls trip! Thank you for this great vacation location!

We had 2 families with adult children stay here. We had plenty of room. We had a great time and only wish it hadn’t rained as much. We did get one day to enjoy playing pickleball outside on the driveway and then going on the lake for a boat ride. Id say our only complaint would be that 2 pull out couch beds were not comfortable. And the “library desk area” could be better utilized as another room or a twin daybed (trundle bed). Thanks so much! We hope to visit again!
Beautiful morning for coffee on the deck.
Took a short walk down the road and found some fun outdoor sculptures.
Boat ride around the lake.
