Balsam Lake: soggiorni in baite

This is by far my favorite stay in the north land. Brandon’s place was peaceful and fun. Large enough for the family to stay comfortably. Clean and beautiful. Everything we needed was there. Games. Pool table. Beautiful craftsmanship. Nice trail around the property. Just far enough from Spooner to be quiet and serene but not a bad drive to town, about 18 minutes. Checkin was easy. Instructions were clear and reasonable. Host response was timely and thorough. Great place for family with kids of most ages, but probably not for toddlers. We will stay here again, for sure!!

Great place to hang out if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Had just spent a day moving a family member so the jacuzzi hot tub was just what we needed. Would definitely stay here again!!

Stayed over New Year’s Eve with friends. Marla was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed the place and especially the hot tub. Would stay here again.

Very peaceful space! Lots to do and it was very clean. We saw so many fish in the stream and deer running around. Enjoyed the jet bathtub. It’s a perfect getaway, 10/10 would go back again!

This gem in the woods is absolutely incredible. Great amenities, kitchen well-stocked with tools, and beautiful layout. The pre-visit document laid out all expectations, and the house was clean.

This was our fourth stay at the house. We loved it as much as before. Very relaxing place with a wonderful view. The owner Heidi is super fast to respond and great to work with. We hope to return.

I was very impressed with the place by the lake very nice Sadie is a great person and had the opportunity to meet her at the venue that my son was having his wedding reception. We are already planning our next visit. Also the Hot Tub was ready to go when we got there Thanks John

Beautiful property and cabin! Such a great place for a weekend getaway. Would definitely rebook!

We had a very lovely, peaceful weekend. The cabin exceeded our expectation, it is much cozier in person than the pictures show. The lake was beautiful and we even heard some loons, which is one of my favorite parts of being at the lake. Beds and bedding were very comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. We took advantage of the games Becky had provided. We tried to do the ax throwing at Stout Brewing but they have discontinued that, which was a little disappointing- would have been something different to do. We did have a good time exploring the antique stores and candy store in Menomonee and visiting the Ellsworth Cheese location just outside of town. They have windows into the factory area where you can watch them make the cheese as well as a very nice store with a lot of interesting items. I would highly recommend for a quiet, disconnected trip. It was just what we needed.

We really enjoyed our stay and loved the cozy space. Very peaceful place to stay. They had everything we needed. We left there wishing we could have stayed longer.

Great space, very calming and peaceful. the added theater/game area was very nice to have. loved the swans and other wildlife. would definitely love to stay again when I have more time to explore the surrounding area. Very comfortable clean space, felt right at home. Brian was a great host, there were severe storms and tornado warnings the 2nd day I was there, and he checked in to inform me of the incoming weather, and checking in to see if i needed anything which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely love to come back!

I've stayed here several times. Very peaceful, cozy, and scenic. The cabin has everything a home would need, and Pine City is only 10 or 15 minutes away, so provisions are close if you forget anything. I'll be back again in the fall. Thanks for making this place available Tracy and Dave!

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean and it was exactly as they described. It had everything we needed for a great long weekend!

I had such a wonderful stay! The space was exactly as described, clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The host was super responsive and made check-in a breeze. I especially appreciated the little touches, like the coffee station, books, and robes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay!

This cottage is so cute and comfortable. The location on the lake was perfect and it had everything the two of us could have wanted. Dan was quick to reply to every question we had. He and Kristen anticipated any traveler's needs and exceeded them. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely cottage with us!

Beautiful cabin! I have a big family and we all fit well with all the bed accommodations and there was a huge dining table for everyone to sit around and eat or play games. There was a lot to do! They provided so many activities and we were not bored for a second. Would definitely stay again.

Steve’s place is full of charm and character. Tastefully designed and beautifully executed. (It appears that someone has been putting in quite a bit of work)

Great little cabin for 4 adults. Very comfortable and clean. Host was very quick to respond and friendly. Had everything and looked just like the pictures. Super easy to find and very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again!

This is the third time we've stayed at one of Doug's properties, and as usual, it does not disappoint. We love coming to a peaceful, comfortable, and well-stocked (but not cluttered!) space that welcomes you from the moment you walk in. We enjoyed fresh eggs in the morning, walks to the river, and the great hikes just a short drive away. We spent hours listening to music on the sound system and cooking good food in a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen. Doug is an extremely thoughtful host, and we appreciated his quick responsiveness and flexibility with our check-in and check-out times. Though this was not a deterrent to our stay, one thing I thought worth mentioning for other travelers with dogs: springtime is definitely tick season in the river valley!

We have only come in the warmer months so this was a real treat to come in the winter. Easy to use indoor fireplace and kitchen has everything we needed. Grocery store either in Hinckley or Danbury. We went snowshoeing right after a snowfall. It was beautiful and got a bit lost; we should've brought a map that is provided in the cabin...We called and owners immediately helped us by co.ing to rescue us from the trails around Beaver Pond. We will be back this summer and again next Winter!!!

Amazing place. Super cozy and comfortable. The wood burning stove and record player created a magical retreat for creating family memories. The loft is adorable and very spacious! The basement was way roomier than expected. All beds were very comfortable!! and a total hit with my kids. Communication was quick and easy and Naomi was great at checking in with us throughout our stay. Highly recommend!!!

We recently stayed at Matt's cabin and it was the perfect getaway. The house was spotless, well maintained and comfortable. We normally pack bedding, towels and all the "cabin box essentials" which were all provided by Matt which is great to know for the next time! The yard is flat leading to your own private dock. There is also a pontoon boat there if you wanted to rent that. The weather was perfect, the leaves just starting to change, and the fishing was great! We will be back.

Due to an injury, we had to stay a second night here and our host was very accommodating throughout the process. The sauna is PRISTINE. I am a Finlander and grew up with a true sauna house build by my great-grandfather…this was a lot like our homeland property, and made our stay comfortable. We are also a LONG line of musicians and came into town for my father’s show at the Casino. We woke Saturday to him playing the drums! It was such a beautiful touch to a well furnished cabin, which is more like a massive home. Thank you, Pavel. We appreciate your flexibility as we navigated chaos. We would absolutely stay again - the space is extremely large and would fit our large family four times over.

This place was great! So quiet and peaceful. Everything was exactly as the description said. The only thing I would change about our stay here would be the weather. Nothing different that the host could do on their end.
