Thanksgiving gettogether with family and friends

The property was great with a nice big house on a beautiful lake. There was plenty of room for 9 adults. The small cottage was newly renovated but had no heat so it was too cold to stay in it and couldn't enjoy the game room. The kayaks and canoe were in great condition which we used for a short trip to explore the lake. Views from the cottage were spectacular. The only negative is that it could use a deep clean. Noticed a lot of spider webs and dust on the ceiling fans. Other than that, fantastic place.

Cottage Property Manager Very Difficult to Deal With

The cottage layout and waterfront were great and as described. There were many places in the cottage that could use a deep clean. The property manager was quite rude and in all the years of renting cottages, we’ve never experienced such a difficult main contact while we were more than reasonable and polite in our communication. Unfortunately, we had read numerous reviews from years ago about the difficulty in communicating with the manager, but had hoped that had been fixed.

Family Getaway

Every year our family selects a different cottage for a week away from the city. This year we selected Balsam Lake. The cottage location is excellent! The cottage/home also had plenty of room for the 10 of us. Cottage and location were very good (5/5). The cottage could have used a good cleaning as many items (both fridges, stove, BBQ etc.) were not very clean. Some of the appliances should also be upgraded as they did not work. Overall a nice stay in a very beautiful setting.

Beautiful Spot

Property was great, nice big house beautiful lake. Just a few minor inconveniences that we did not expect. The ad should say MUST wear water shoes everyone cut their feet on the zebra muscles. No hot water day one till we noticed the breakers where off. We ran out of both toilet paper and washing detergent. Also the game controllers in the big cottage did not work and the kitchen utensils are ok for camping but a cottage should have better stuff.

Great weekend!

We had an awesome weekend, it's our second time renting this cottage and we will likely rent it again. The dock and the water is so nice to relax by and catch up with friends, play games, read and or just rest. The cottage is spacious with lots of windows and seating areas.
