Cozy retreat
Beautiful and quiet stay. Lovely decor and little extras.
My girlfriend and I had a nice cozy stay at The Balsam Retreat hosted by Jenna. Jenna made sure of attention to detail and the stay was so near and clean.
She offered chocolates as welcome kit. Made sure the kitchen is full of essential items (coffee, popcorn, tea) and the fridge was also filled with items to your liking. She made sure to ask if there was anything extra we would like to have and provided too.
It is a great place to live in a quintessential town.
Thank you Jenna for being a wonderful host. We will definitely be coming back to the place while planning to visit nearby.
Great cozy place very walkable to restaurants and beach area. Nice attention to detail. Excellent host. Definitely would stay here again

Excellent property
Property exactly as described. Host went above and beyond for us to make our stay a great experience. Couldn’t have asked for more. Lived it and will be back soon.
I had a wonderful stay at The Balsam Retreat and look forward to re-booking when I pass through town again.
The convenience of feeling like I am home while away on a job... it was perfect!
