Located an hour outside of the Twin Cities the Loon Lookout offers a quick getaway and restful retreat. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an additional bunkhouse, this cabin comfortably accommodates up to 10 people. Fully modernized and complete with all the creature comforts of home. Right on the lake- for four seasons of fun, with excellent snowshoeing, fishing & swimming just out your door!
The Lake is yours! Fishing, boating, swimming, floating all right out your door. Bring your swimsuits and fun floatation rafts. Swimming off dock is clear and weed free - you can also explore and find great swimming areas throughout the Balsam Lake chain. The cabin rental comes with access to a row boat and small pontoon paddle boat (non motorized). You can also rent a boat at the Sunnyside Marina (715-485-3393) or bring your own, the Balsam Lake Beach public boat launch is located in close proximity to the cabin.
As the name suggests, common loons abound here in the summer! Wildlife watching, birding and photography are always good options so bring your binoculars and hiking sticks. Explore Balsam Lake or take a day trip, the cabin is close to both WI and MN state parks (Interstate Park in Taylors Falls MN and Crex Meadows near Grantsburg WI are two great places to explore). Wild Mountain is also a quick 20 minute drive away, with fun for the whole family. The cabin is right on the lake but tucked behind Pine Island, so it offers a peaceful lakeshore protected from the wind, nice for lakeside campfires and early morning coffee sunrises.

    It was a great stay. Everything worked as described. It is easy to find and close to town. The bunk house stayed plenty warm mid January.

    Very nice place, very cozy. Great place for kids. They have their own place to sleep, Plenty of room in the house for six adults. Everything you needed was available, supplies, etc. would be nice to have a bigger yard for the kids to play and sleep outside in the tents , nice docks but alittle wiggly , and no paddle boat( it was wreaked by other renters ). Otherwise great place to hang with 10 family members for a week. Lots of fish was caught too. We booked a trip to this place for next year. I even added 3 more days just for my wife and me. Thk u Kristin.

    Very clean and had everything we needed. Lot's of room for a bigger group. Paddle boards were excellent. It is nice having the island to block the wake board waves from the docks as well. Walking distance to downtown!

    Enjoy the quick vacation. Glad we had our boat along to get on the lake. Saw many creatures including the loons.

    We had a relaxing stay. Great restaurants and shops to wander thru. Lake is super clean. Only downside to our party of 4 older gals was steep steps with no handrail and bunkhouse with no bath which didn't work for us. Super clean and well stocked. Thank you Kristen! party of 4

    Our family had an amazing time at this quaint cabin on Balsam Lake. The two docks were perfect for our boats and we appreciated being offset from the main lake where there was less traffic. Would highly recommend!

    Was a great stay! We brought a boat and parked it at the dock for the entire stay... worked very well. Property is right there next to the lake and you're walking distance to several places to eat and drink.
