Cabin holiday rentals in Balsam Lake

This cabin trip had been long anticipated and we were not disappointed at all. The hosts have been so friendly, responsive and accommodating. Nothing fell short of our expectations. The cabin was just as described. They've provided everything you would need and more. My husband and I booked it to spend with our children and grandchildren and it was perfect for our group. The bunkhouse was great! Much warmer than I expected. It's great for adults, no bathroom so wouldn't recommend for children. We also loved the setup of the fire pit and the extra lighting, since it does get pretty dark at night. We loved the pool table and board games they had. The hot tub was such a great way to end the day. Loved the upstairs shower! They really do have everything ready for their guests, towels, kitchen dining items, toiletries, coffee so we had no worries. It was one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. For an Airbnb, they provided so much. We wish we had more time. Thank you so much!!

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.

a great place for a quiet getaway, the hot tub was excellent, the view was beautiful, and the host is fantastic. If I am ever in the area again I will be staying at Karin's place!

My friends and I needed a vacation from the mundane. This place was exactly what we needed. The perfect place to be holed up after a snowstorm that left 6+inches. It was warm and cozy and the decor is adorable.

This is a lovely spot that sleeps a group. We appreciated how well-appointed it is -lots of plates and glassware, ample towels and sharp knives! Lovely spot to watch the lake or walk around. We went into town for antique and art shopping.

This was our first trip together and the cabin was everything we were looking for. We felt very much at home and spent an hour or two in the hot tub each night looking outside at the water. We even grilled dinner one night and ate on the dock right next to the water. The best part was our host offering us a later checkout time without us even asking, allowing us to enjoy our last morning a little longer and sleep in a little more after a late night. We would consider visiting again if we ever want to come back to the area

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!

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!!!

Our second time visiting, had another wonderful stay. Thanks for being such great hosts!

The place was serene with beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset. I loved that the the cabin was well stocked to ensure the most enjoyable stay from fire starter to fire wood. They even included a well-stocked first aid kit that we unfortunately needed to utilized. Very thoughtful hosts!

I loved this place, it was clean and homey, and small but beautiful. This place felt like a cabin should. It was not advertised, but they have kayaks that you can float down the river with, and we caught some big fish! Overall, awesome place and good people.

We stayed at the Cozy Cabin for 4 nights for a work trip. it was a nice space to relax at after a hard day of work. The location was very peaceful- we enjoyed watching the squirrels and birds! We were able to build a fire in the firepit on one of our evenings there. We loved all the extras in kitchen- to not have to buy staples you'd need to cook with for our short term stay was very nice This would easily accommodate a larger family or couple but small enough that 2 could easily enjoy the space as well. We loved the decor, it felt like a lot of love and thought went into it. We would definitely book a stay here again, any time of the year!

If you are looking for a bit of magic on the lakefront this is the location for you! Our family enjoyed a long weekend away at The Owl’s Nest with our dogs and we had a wonderful time! Jami and Jay were amazing hosts! So welcoming and answered any questions we had right away. There was a handwritten note welcoming us upon our arrival. The home is cozy, comfortable and super clean! We loved the wood stove in the living room for the crisp Fall nights while listening to music. The screened in porch was perfect for enjoying a hot mug of coffee and watching the sunrise while listening to the calls of Bald Eagles and Loons. The basement was perfect for watching a movie, playing darts or reading a book in the comfy leather sofa. We enjoyed the canoe and kayak on our last day there. The sand beach was perfect for our dogs to explore and rest in the sunshine. Thank you for an awesome experience at your beautiful property! We will definitely be back!!

The Little Red Cabin was perfect. Peaceful lake just outside a beautiful small town with lots to do. Great home away from home to kick back and take a break from reality.

The accomodation was very well laid out and was very clean. It had all the amenities you would need and we didn't want for anything. We would highly recommend this place.

Thank you again for the wonderful stay at your cabin! It met all our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing weekend with friends! I appreciated your quick response to our questions.

We loved our stay here! Despite being supplied with enough board games, puzzles, and conversation cards to last weeks, I spent a lot of my time just walking around and appreciating the insane attention to detail in all of the decor! It was GORGEOUS! The surrounding area was so peaceful, and we enjoyed our time observing the wild life (binoculars included!) Additionally, this is one of the best stocked AirBnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen was so user friendly, and the bathrooms felt like home. Everything was incredibly clean. Worth every penny.

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 was our second time at the cabin and it was even better since there were way fewer mosquitos and no ticks. The surroundings are beautiful and we stayed busy in the sauna, swimming in the river, and going for walks. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

We loved our time at Leah’s place! We did a weekend getaway to start our kiddos spring break and they loved it so much. It was so much better than we thought. It was so cozy and clean and so much to do there even with the rain and snow. The kids especially loved the board games and the sun room which had a heater. Leah always checked in to see how we were doing and giving us the info we needed during our stay. We will definitely come back and can’t wait to come back!
