My daughter and I had a lovely time at this lakefront property. Weather was perfect for this time of year (last week of Sept.) which allowed for outdoor activities or just relaxing on the deck overlooking the water and watching the ducks and swans. The home was furnished with whatever we required, especially the kitchen. Overall, the neighbourhood was quiet and the property well-maintained. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing vacation
Upon arriving and stepping into the cottage, we were awed by the view out the large bay window. 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. We certainly appreciated the time to relax and recharge at this awesome property.

Beautiful spot
Cottage was nice and had everything we needed. We did have an issue with the neighbours big dogs pooping on our yard multiple times and left for us to pick up. The neighbours were very noisy on the weekend to the point we had to go inside for some noise relief. View was amazing and water was clean with easy access.

Comfortable, cozy indoors with all the amenities and an amazing lakefront location. Balsam Lake was perfect for kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, or just relaxing on a floater or the gorgeous and spacious new deck, this cottage was perfect for our 2-week getaway (5 adults over 45). Price was great for an ideal location!!

Very Peaceful
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was very relaxing and peaceful. The kids loved swimming off the dock, we used the canoe and kayak daily. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. 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.

Amazing cottage
We enjoyed the stay very much and was shocked at how well stocked it was. 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.

The home with a view
This home has a large window facing the lake and that is what makes it. The back deck is also an added asset. The neighbours were welcoming and friendly.
