Beautiful Balsam Lake home with Jacuzzi tub close to Lake and park

Property was not the picture/house as shown in the booking which was misleading. Amenities were accurate but not nice or functioning: for example, water faucet didn’t work in shower, only one stove burner worked. Insects within bedrooms including bees and my children were allergic. Not impressive at all, overpriced. Town/environment seemed safe, though.

The house was very clean and cozy. Nice outside area.

Clean and well equipped, No bathroom on the 2nd floor

Very clear communication, comfortable beds and all the amenities you need for a night stay!

Exactly what we needed as our home base for kayaking. Plenty of room, loads of beds. We don’t get to enjoy the yard as the weather turned, but the fire pit is appreciated!I would recommend an upgrade on some pillows, and some more bathroom hooks, just for a slightly better experience.

Everything was great. Just wish the location was more accurate when I booked.

This is an older home but with many updates. Would have been a tight fit for 8 people, but was an excellent base camp for us while exploring the area. Host was responsive and helpful.

Good trip

Very clean. Nice warm place to stay and close to local bars for a nice dinner. Will stay again.

Beautiful home and property. Enjoyed our stay.

While this may be more fun with a larger group in the summer, to split the overall cost and take advantage of the outside fire pit, my husband and I were not very happy with the overall experience in late October for the price of over $500 total (with fees and insurance) for only two nights for two adults ... The house is quaint and decorated (paint, furniture, linens) nicely on the inside but it is clearly older (sagging porch gate, dip in kitchen floor, weird musty smell throughout) and too 'tight' in a few places (one and only bathroom, staircase ... couldn't even open one kitchen drawer with some complimentary toiletries as it hits the dishwasher). Furthermore, because it has sheer curtains on the living room windows (off the main road) and no cover curtain or blind on the main entry door with a huge glass windowpane (which is on the back of the house where no one else can easily see), I myself didn't feel comfortable sleeping upstairs (as someone could come to the glass door, see no one in the kitchen / living area there on the bottom floor, simply break the glass to get it). Bottom line: I was hopeful for a reasonably decent experience but it just didn't quite live up to that.

Enjoyed stay. All went well during our stay.

Renting was effortless.
