Overall we enjoyed this cabin but First night had to snuggle with a space heater was super cold. The main gas stove in living room wouldn't turn on. The heaters in bedroom on the baseboard would not turn on. Called and told the guy and he said to late for someone to come see about it that it would be tomorrow. I was so angry and cold all night. It was me and my sister and 2 teen boys. Next day my sister looked at panel box and baseboard heaters breaker was off. So she fixed that problem. Once they came and got the gas stove heater working in LR the cabin warmed up quickly. The next 2 days the cabin was amazing. Warm and relaxing. We would def stay there again because we liked the isolation of the cabin. I would ask the owner to be more aggressive during winter months that your renters aren't freezing at all during their stay. Not one night you paid for should you have to be cold. The cabin could of been a little more cleaner but nothing I wouldn't stay in again. Overall I would def stay here again as long as I didn't have to be cold. Things to know to renters: No central heat -stove in LR heats very well though. Is isolated if you want that. Parking is at bottom of hill so you will have to walk up steep hill if you cant walk well.

Balsam Grove

My husband, our two dogs, and myself stayed in Balsam Grove for a long weekend. It was a simple and beautiful cabin. The property manager was very responsive with our needs/issues. It was mostly clean but needed a good dusting, as there were dust filled cob webs throughout. The kitchen had the basic bare minimum, ie missing baking sheets, cooking utensils (had spatula and tongs), trash bags (house keeper brought this and sponges). There was also a planned power outage for maintenance we did not find out about until half away to our arrivial (we live 6hr from the location) we were told there would be candels and lanterns for the night this would occur, instead we were provided with tealight candles and camping heating/cooking candle things. Thankfully, the power outage was only from 9p-6a, so we just went to bed early for our trip back home the next day. The cabin is quite litterally in the middle of nowhere (we loved this) but was a trek up winding mountian road to get to town,approximately 20 minutes. So I'd recomend pack enough food for your stay as it was quite a trip to town. There also is no parking directly at the house as you have to walk up an uneven so that can be ticky with a lot of loading/unloading and would really not be easy if there were snow. This is skimmed over in the description but feel as though it should be elaborated a bit more. Otherwise, we had a good relaxing weekend away.

Miss leading

No marking for the driveway at ALL!! Driveway was washed out. Yard over grown with trees. House smelt like mothballs. Lining consisted of three wash cloths and plenty of towels. Toilet paper and paper towels. Front door knob was falling off when we got there. Pots and pans looked like they cooked rocks in it!!! Complete stay was misleading we left a day early!!! If not for my 4 wheel drive truck we would have NOT been able to get up the driveway. I have pictures to prove all this..

Great secluded cabin

We had a great stay at the cabin! It was clean and well kept! The hot tub was great in evening after hikes! It was difficult to find the cabin because the sign was covered by forest growth!
