Perfect place for family
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!

Beautiful property
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!

This property is just as described! Although it is not located right on the lake, the walk to the dock is minimal and an easy walk. Jeremy was very accommodating and allowed us 2 spots on his dock for both of our boats! The lake was great for both fishing and water sports! The cabin itself is clean and has been stocked with many essentials (linen/towels/ tp/ pots/ even complimentary shampoo/conditioner etc.) The only thing I would caution renters with would be the friendly neighborhood pets 🙂 There are a few friendly dogs who like to roam the neighborhood. We can’t thank Jeremy and family enough for allowing us to stay on his property and being so accommodating!

Beautiful Balsam Lake Cabin
This cabin is a lovely getaway near the Twin Cities. The cabin has been remodeled with modern updates, is comfortable, dog and kid friendly (though our kids are all adults now) and a short walk to the dock. The water is great for boating and swimming. We rented the pontoon for a day, and it was waiting for us at the dock in the morning. The cabin has everything you need. Owner was quick to respond and checked in with us via text. We would rent it again.
