What a cozy cabin, well-equipped, and a gorgeous view over the lake. Deer passing through the yard, and a pair of eagles perching right outside the sunroom. Beds were very comfortable.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin on Balsam Lake! The downstairs area was perfect for the kids and we had plenty to do between fishing and the kayaks. We braved the seaweed in the middle of the lake for a short swim but were happiest on top of the water.
