Cottage vacation rentals in Balsam Lake

We absolutely LOVED this place! It’s really really calm, quiet and cozy! The view is beautiful, you’ll feel right at home. The kitchen has everything you would need, the mattress is amazing, clean bedding, the bathroom had hot water, very clean and with a lot of towels. Just like we needed. Would be definitely coming back!

Stunning: White birch trees lining the shore of a pristine and quiet lake against a clear blue sky. (Day 1) The eagles, water fowl, and a pair of robins busily building their nest kept us entertained, and Lori and Ted even suppled binoculars for bird watching. Cozy: The fireplace kept us warm on a cold and rainy day. (Day 2) The entire cottage was comfortable and felt like a home away from home. I would like to return when the weather is conducive to getting out in the canoe or kayak. Beyond Expectations: Ted and Lori have created an exceptional and inviting retreat and hosting seems to be in their DNA! (Loved meeting the pups, too!)

This is our second visit! We love the space! It is extremely clean and welcoming. There is lots to do or you can just relax right there, you don’t have to leave to find things. She welcomes you with goodies and a personal welcome note. She is a great host!! We feel like we are coming home!!!

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.

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!

We enjoyed our Minimoon here. Was great. Nothing bad to say, other than we clearly didn’t thoroughly read the posting because we were shocked that it was a guest house! Our fault. But anyway, very clean and nice! Would for sure recommend.

Connie's place was exactly what we were looking for: clean, quiet, attractive and conveniently located. My family and I enjoyed the view of the lake and walking the nearby trails. My grandson got a lot of use out of the games and toys. We were able to cook our meals in the fully stocked kitchen. We appreciated the ease of check-in and Connie's responsiveness. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect! The location was just as described, the lake was beautiful, and the screened in porch was the best feature. Martha has a very well organized kitchen with anything you could need to cook or make coffee with. If you have a hammock they have the best trees right in front to hang it on. Spooner was an easy 10 minute drive away to get ice cream and a coffee from The Dock. Thank you for a peaceful and relaxing weekend!

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.

What a gem of a cottage . We’ve had the unfortunate task of needing to move out of our home whilst urgent repairs were undertaken, We searched and discovered Carly’s lovely home that was such a blessing especially with our 3 month old baby and beloved cat . The home has everything and made us forget about our issues with our place , so sad to leave but we will be back in the summer . Carly was absolutely stunning and very accommodating to our needs and besides her being an amazing human being, she has a secret weapon in her folks who assisted us and made us feel so homely and welcome . Sincere thanks Carly ! Your home is better than a 5 star hotel !

Jordan's place was wonderful. Resting on a quiet bay of the lake it was hard to realize one was even in town. Our group was very impressed with the location, quality, attention to detail and wonderful gathering areas the property offers. Would easily reserve again. l personally loved sitting in the gazebo during a beautiful rain.

The hosts are extremely helpful and responsive and just good people! We were snowmobiling and they were able to show us an easy path to the lake trail, it was a great experience. The location was optimal for us!

This place is a magical gem my whole family loves to return to. Thank you kindly for letting us borrow your home!!

A sweet little cabin on a sheltered side of Lake Chetek. Kayaks and canoe available for use along with a grill and fire pit. Everything was convenient, clean, and in good shape! A well cared for little spot. Nice getaway.

Awesome place needed sometime away from the city for the weekend and this place was perfect!

Wow! Matthew’s home in Hudson was absolutely wonderful! It was just as described (better!), very clean, had everything you could possibly need, and everything was so comfortable. Definitely will stay again. Thank you!

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 is the second time I reserved this charming little house for visiting relatives. They absolutely loved it. Kim thoughtfully provided all the special amenities to make them feel right at home.

Enjoyed the welcoming by hosts, coziness, peaceful and private location near Half Moon lake. Beautiful sunsets, night sky, and nearby hiking trails we explored. Provides necessary amenities for a very enjoyable stay! Look forward to booking again.

Me and my friends loved it! The cabin felt very cozy and the lake/nature surrounding it was beautiful! I think we have another visit in our future, probably during the summer.

Beautiful property and cabin. I loved how the host posted helpful friendly notes and labels in various spots to make staying there and finding things easy. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom all well stocked. I loved all the windows and beauty of the pines seen through them. Easy walk down to the river. Very clean and roomy.

I had a fantastic time staying at the cottage. It was a beautiful house on a lovely plot of land, and I will definitely want to stay there again when I return to visit. Emily was wonderful, kind and responsive throughout my stay. Thanks again!!!!
