Balsam Lake: soggiorni in cottage

I love love loved this place. Birds and trees in the city. So comfortable. Great kitchen. Responsive host. simple relaxed design. I hope to stay there again sometime. I was sad to leave. And great coffee!

My sister and I stayed with our kids! Wonderful clean and comfortable place! Great and friendly people! Many helpful amenities for our families! A great view of the lake from many parts of the home, We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Had an amazing stay! We booked this place for my friend’s bachelorette party and it was absolutely perfect. The location was great, and the house itself was beautiful. It was exactly what we needed for a fun weekend. Nathan was kind enough to let us check in a little early so we could get everything set up for the party, which made a huge difference. We were able to surprise the rest of the crew with the decorations and have everything ready to go. I’d love to come back if I’m ever planning something in Stillwater again! I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone :) Thank you!!

Katie and Curt were wonderful hosts to our Minneapolis Spring Break adventure! We loved having a home base at such a convenient, beautiful, central location. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub and the nearby playground. We enjoyed the neighborhood and walking into Linden Hills for meals and shopping. Katie & Curt were responsive to questions that came up during our stay and were friendly and gracious hosts.

Nathan’s place was great! It’s walkable to downtown Stillwater, and the home itself is funky and fun. Nathan was a kind and responsive host, and he accommodated our needs well. Definitely worth the stay. Thank you!

Perfect little cottage for a couple and a friend to stay in while we attended a memorial celebration of life for a friend who lived nearby. Love the neighborhood -- walking along Lake Harriet, the rose garden and bird sanctuary, nearby restaurants, and the patisserie, which is perfect for breakfast -- all so close. The cottage is simple but comfortable and Sarah is very helpful and flexible, which we appreciated. Must be able to go up and down stairs.

Very cute interior; lots of extra supplies in case we forgot anything. Loved the bathroom!! Quiet; beds were comfortable & nice to have 2 TV’s as my husband & I have different tastes. The only tiny negative is the yard - not really any grassy area for our little dog, but she didn’t mind walking down the block.

Cherri is very responsive which was much appreciated. The place was a little hard to find at no fault of the owners, but once we did we were set for the week. We had a boat lift to use which was a value add for us. There are several stairs down to the lake but the view at the top is gorgeous. Great restaurants to boat and the sand bar is not far to boat the grandkids out to enjoy the lake. Our dog was right at home too. Thank you Cherri and Paul for your place for the week, we had a very nice time.

Nice for a cabin getaway! Very responsive and accommodating host. It is an updated home great for all seasons that is both kid and dog friendly, would recommend.

This cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s located on a quiet street yet convenient to shopping. The kitchen and bath are fully stocked and it’s all very clean. We are already planning to come back.

Jordyns place was exactly as described. Plenty of room for all our family members. Extremely well stocked with towels, cooking and eating supplies, and other essentials, very clean with a relaxed and comfortable vibe. Definitely one of best Air B & B we've stayed at. Very responsive to our Questions and kept us informed as our check out day arrived. We will definitely stay here again when visiting family . Thank you for a great stay!

Sere was a great host! We had to travel in/out of MSP each day but this was close enough for us still have a quiet place where we could take our dogs for long walks and enjoy a quiet evening with our kids playing board games. Lots of trails and hiking available. We weren’t able to take advantage of the trout fishing but think it would be a great way to spend a weekend!

A quiet and scenic spot with access to the lake. I had a wonderful time and would love to return.

The house was super clean, exactly as described. Peaceful, quiet area. The beach areas were very nice and we had them to ourselves basically. The golf course was great and the PAR3 course was great for the kids to try. Caught tons of fish straight from the shore, the club house is walkable, overall it was great, would highly recommend.

This was our second time staying at Andy’s place, and our experience has been great both times. Andy keeps a very clean and beautiful place to stay that makes you feel right at home in the Northwoods.

This was my second stay with Sheri. The cozy cottage is great. I stayed there alone but had family visiting every day and occasionally someone would stay overnight upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped for home cooked meals. The furnishings are comfortable. The location provides easy access to the lake, walking trails, and the amenities of downtown White Bear.

Loved our stay at the cottage! Such a cute home, perfect for our Mother Daughter weekend! We all loved sitting by the fireplace at night playing games. Very cozy home! We would love to stay again and see the garden in the summer!

Stacy’s place was cute and cozy for our five person group. We especially loved the assortment of games and puzzles that were available and the family history of the cabin!

Lovely cottage and surrounding. I had a very relaxing time when I wasn’t out exploring the area. I loved the walk to the river, really beautiful quiet beach. Thank you. Stefania

Kathleen was so kind, helpful and responsive. The location is so peaceful and ideal for rest, rejuvenation and creativity. And close to many things to inspire you and to enjoy if you’re in need of an adventure. Rustic is all the right ways. I definitely hope to visit again.

We are building our own cabin about 9 minutes from this location. We had several family members and friends coming to help work on our site and we needed a 'homebase". The accommodations were exactly what we needed. I was able to cook for the crew and quilt at the big dining room table while the crew was gone. I was lucky enough to meet Lynn and she was so friendly and helpful. This will be our stay when we need to be up working on our cabin until it's done being built. Location was a quick drive to Hayward and very easy to find even at night!
