Balsam Lake Cabin and Pickleball Retreat

Great home! Loved the pickleball, pontoon, great lake views, well-stocked, very comfortable. Hosts were super helpful!

Our stay at this VRBO property was well-aligned with our expectations! The listing was accurately represented, and the host maintained clear, timely communication throughout the booking and check-in process. The property was clean, functional, and thoughtfully stocked with essentials.Highlights of our stay:• Location: situated near Balsam Village, quiet community, made for a restful getaway.• Comfort: Beds were comfortable, linens fresh, and climate control worked reliably.• 🧼 Cleanliness: The property was spotless on arrival, with no overlooked areas.• Amenities: Wi-Fi coverage was excellent, kitchen appliances were in good working order, the indoor & outdoor pickle ball courts were a bonus. Both courts are amazing - these are better than any public courts out there - hands down!! Access to a golf cart was great as well, for the short drive across the road to the lake. We We were able to easily slip our boat & jetski which was super convenient. We enjoyed the fire pit and host provided s’mores. • Host Communication: Very Responsive, professional, and proactive. If you’re looking for an experience that leaves you longing to come back time and time again - that’s what you’ll experience at this VRBO! The hosts are highly focused on the guest experience, they want to ensure guests have the most enjoyable/ memorable getaway possible!

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.

This property was a great place for 3 generations at Christmas time. Spacious and comfortable and great communication.

The property is small, yet spacious and open! We didn't even make it downstairs to play games! Loved the layout of the house! Just a minor delay with the last bit of information, but it worked out at the end. We had a lovely stay!

Enjoyed the home!

We stay in several VRBO homes each year for long weekend getaways in MN and WI, and this place met our expectations: clean, spacious, good location, yard space, comfortable beds, and good kitchen amenities. 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.

Beautiful house, lots of room, sleeping areas were great!

This place is the perfect vacation home for a family getaway. It's in a quiet neighborhood with a huge yard! Close to the lake, a fire pit with a cute little s'mores set up, and beds for everyone! It was my husband, our two boys, my in laws, and my sister in-law, her husband and myself and it was wonderful even though our stay was short. Thank you again for all the memories that were created when we stayed!

This is a beautiful house! It was clean and the communication with the host was prompt. 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!
