This four (4) bedroom, two (2) bathroom property will comfortably accommodate ten (10) people with ease. Feel free to relax, renew and rejuvenate with friends and family at this exclusive low key location. This lake house has all the amenities with an up north feel with tons of great wood in the house. Lots of great indoor and outdoor spaces. We have a waterfront boathouse with a nice high top table. We have a great rec room for those times when you need to get out of the bugs or the cold. This property is great for all the seasons. Lots of activities in this area all year long!
Balsam Lake itself has much to offer – 2000+ acres of beautiful water, sandy lake bottom and great bays for water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and all other water sports. With 7 occupied islands (and many smaller ones) and over 65 miles of shoreline, you’ll never run out of lake to explore! There is also great fishing (panfish and sport fish - including walleye), 2 restaurants you can reach by boat, and a marina with pontoon and fishing boat rental and a gas pump for fueling up on the lake! Plus, the natural springs that feeds the lake help to keep the water circulating and cleaner than manmade lakes. Wild life at the lake is a bonus enjoyment – turtles, loons, ducks, eagles, deer and even black squirrels! Downtown Balsam Lake is a quaint little strip and also fun to explore – great ice cream shop (a must-visit spot if your group has little ones), antique store, bait and tackle shop, dollar store, brewery, taverns, restaurants and more.
Winter activities are also a highlight in this area. Snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing are all enjoyable activities on the frozen tundra or the 18 mile Cattail State Trail. Plus, Balsam Lake’s ice fishing could arguably top its summer fishing! After a short 25 minute drive, you can find yourself at either of the region’s best downhill ski areas – Wild Mountain or Trollhaugen! Not to mention, both have awesome outdoor summer fun activities as well.
We know a really nice, large lake place is hard to come by. That’s why we are excited to share ours with you! We hope you’ll feel right at home as you walk in the door of our cabin… We know you will make special memories together as you enjoy both the cabin and this beautiful lake in this peaceful “Up North” setting.
We do have outside cameras for security on our garage as well as the back yard on the deck. We like to ensure our guests arrive safely and get into the house. Also no WIFI is available. We like people to disconnect. Cell phones work great.
Please contact us with any questions; we are happy to help!
