About this property

Gorgeous 4 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Property

[Note] Please do not submit a booking request without our approval. We use this as a family cabin and have many repeat customers that book with us direct. We will do our best to find you a slot to enjoy. Thanks!

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!

Very good
Very convenient because of proximity to town. Plenty of space for our group of 7. Jason was very accommodating with early check in and was always quick to respond to question.

Beautiful Property
We’ve stayed at several properties on Balsam over the years but this was the best by far. The house and property are beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. One of our favorite things was the boathouse rooftop deck! Jason could not have been nicer and was quick to respond to all my questions.

Great Family Vacation
The listing was accurate, and the photos don't quite do justice to the beautiful setting you will experience. A wonderful cabin to enjoy with family or friends. Your only problem will be choosing where to sit it... there are many fantastic options!

A Great Family Vacation
My family and I had a great stay at this property on Balsam Lake. The cabin was very nice and had lots of great spots to enjoy the lake view. We also really enjoyed the game room/garage area. The location was perfect- it has a nice secluded “up north” feel, but also a short drive to lots of different bars/restaurants and shops. Overall, we had a great stay here!

Elizabeth J., Aptos, California

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Beware: Cameras everywhere
Nearly 2 hours after arriving, I received a message from the owner asking us not to use his “very nice cushion from his high end furniture” on the dock. My 15 year old daughter (clad in a bikini) had pulled it off a chair 10 MINUTES EARLIER, to support her as she leaned back against it on the dock to READ a book. That's just so inappropriate and creepy. 2nd of all, If you don’t want people using your things, you really shouldn’t rent your place out. We were not misusing your property in any way. If there was damage to your cushion (which btw, looked very worn and tired) then that’s what our deposit is for. When I asked him how many cameras he had and where (since at the time, it was not disclosed in the listing), Jason responded with “I only use them when guests are arriving to ensure everything is good. Deck looking at lake and the garage”. I found 4 cameras there covering just about every angle of outdoor space. Jason also came by twice (with less than a 24 hour warning) to mow the lawn. Very hard to enjoy a peaceful lake and privacy with family, while the owner is mowing and blowing around you. We were very uncomfortable here and left early. I would have never rented this place if I had known what I know now. Beware if you rent this place.. kinda creepy to think someone might be watching your every move.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Gauthier

Host profile image
My family and I have owned this property since 2016. We continue to love spending time with our family and friends on Balsam Lake all year around. We love enjoying the summer boating season or going sking or snowmobiling in the winter. This area offers so many things to do.

Why they chose this property

We love that our property is only a short walk or drive to town yet feels like your way up north. We have a nice quiet road that has no outlet. Only traffic is the people that live on Idlewild street.

What makes this property unique

I think our property being situated on the coveted main lake is a huge benefit. We have multiple places inside and outside the property that people can enjoy their vacation. The views are amazing from all of them whether it is the rec room, top of the boathouse, main deck, lower patio or the large main dock. We always have people comment on how many great spaces we have on the property. Come enjoy!
