Cabin vacation rentals in Balsam Lake

We loved this peaceful cabin on the lake. It had a beautiful view and was very quiet. The kitchen had every utensil needed to cook which was awesome. The cabin was very clean and the sleeping accommodations were great! We would definitely recommend this place to others and stay here again!

We had the most magical time at this beautiful Airbnb! The home itself is stunning—every corner feels cozy, welcoming, and perfectly designed for both relaxation and fun. The views? Absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or stargazing at night, nature wraps around you in the best way. There were so many outdoor activities to keep us entertained—we were never bored for a second. The activity hut was such a unique touch, and the sauna? Pure bliss after a day outside. We also loved the incredible kitchen—fully stocked with everything you could dream of for cooking up amazing meals. And don’t even get me started on the bathrooms—like a mini spa experience every time. This place has a special kind of energy. Peaceful, fun, and full of magic.

What a wonderful cabin to get away from everyday life. This hidden gem is right on the lake with incredible sunsets and sunrises. We got to fish right off of our own private dock, Bethany and Cole had a fire pit already for us to use and a basket of all the fixings for s’more. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed, but being so close to the lake I would recommend you bring your own drinking water. Bethany and Cole answered all of our questions and were so friendly, we stayed for four days only, I just wish we could have stayed for the whole summer.

My group had the pleasure of staying at Eagle Crest over Easter weekend. In addition to the natural beauty and seclusion, this was one of the most well stocked rentals I have ever stayed at. If Eagle Crest doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful escape with beautiful surroundings and all the comforts of home.

Great weekend retreat for the family or small group. Easy checkin, plenty ofnfun activities, and right on a lake. Great cabin experience

Had a great stay! Beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful near the end of a dead end road so very little traffic. Boat landing is very close by which made it easy to get the boat we brought in and out, bait shop has a nice selection of necessities if you need a few staple grocery items and bait. Nice dock available at the cabin to park. Beautiful views of the lake from the living room and master bedroom. The cabin was kid and pet friendly which was perfect for our family. Nice fire pit outside with comfy seating. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

This place was AMAZING! We were in town for a family gathering and this location was perfect - close to the highway, easy to find, Walmart just down the road! The view from the gigantic deck is gorgeous - lots of birdwatching. The cabin was perfect - beds are comfy, kitchen is spacious, everything was clean. We loved the shuffleboard. We will definitely be booking this cabin again in the future!!

We recently stayed at Matt's cabin and it was the perfect getaway. The house was spotless, well maintained and comfortable. We normally pack bedding, towels and all the "cabin box essentials" which were all provided by Matt which is great to know for the next time! The yard is flat leading to your own private dock. There is also a pontoon boat there if you wanted to rent that. The weather was perfect, the leaves just starting to change, and the fishing was great! We will be back.

This cabin trip had been long anticipated and we were not disappointed at all. The hosts have been so friendly, responsive and accommodating. Nothing fell short of our expectations. The cabin was just as described. They've provided everything you would need and more. My husband and I booked it to spend with our children and grandchildren and it was perfect for our group. The bunkhouse was great! Much warmer than I expected. It's great for adults, no bathroom so wouldn't recommend for children. We also loved the setup of the fire pit and the extra lighting, since it does get pretty dark at night. We loved the pool table and board games they had. The hot tub was such a great way to end the day. Loved the upstairs shower! They really do have everything ready for their guests, towels, kitchen dining items, toiletries, coffee so we had no worries. It was one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. For an Airbnb, they provided so much. We wish we had more time. Thank you so much!!

Stayed over New Year’s Eve with friends. Marla was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed the place and especially the hot tub. Would stay here again.

a great place for a quiet getaway, the hot tub was excellent, the view was beautiful, and the host is fantastic. If I am ever in the area again I will be staying at Karin's place!

My friends and I needed a vacation from the mundane. This place was exactly what we needed. The perfect place to be holed up after a snowstorm that left 6+inches. It was warm and cozy and the decor is adorable.

This is a lovely spot that sleeps a group. We appreciated how well-appointed it is -lots of plates and glassware, ample towels and sharp knives! Lovely spot to watch the lake or walk around. We went into town for antique and art shopping.

Our family had a mini getaway and it was the perfect spot! The sauna and hot tub were incredible! The kids LOVED the theater room. Such a great place for families. Thank you for being a great host!

I was very impressed with the place by the lake very nice Sadie is a great person and had the opportunity to meet her at the venue that my son was having his wedding reception. We are already planning our next visit. Also the Hot Tub was ready to go when we got there Thanks John

Beautiful property and cabin! Such a great place for a weekend getaway. Would definitely rebook!

This is the third time we've stayed at one of Doug's properties, and as usual, it does not disappoint. We love coming to a peaceful, comfortable, and well-stocked (but not cluttered!) space that welcomes you from the moment you walk in. We enjoyed fresh eggs in the morning, walks to the river, and the great hikes just a short drive away. We spent hours listening to music on the sound system and cooking good food in a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen. Doug is an extremely thoughtful host, and we appreciated his quick responsiveness and flexibility with our check-in and check-out times. Though this was not a deterrent to our stay, one thing I thought worth mentioning for other travelers with dogs: springtime is definitely tick season in the river valley!

We have only come in the warmer months so this was a real treat to come in the winter. Easy to use indoor fireplace and kitchen has everything we needed. Grocery store either in Hinckley or Danbury. We went snowshoeing right after a snowfall. It was beautiful and got a bit lost; we should've brought a map that is provided in the cabin...We called and owners immediately helped us by co.ing to rescue us from the trails around Beaver Pond. We will be back this summer and again next Winter!!!

Our family stayed here over Christmas and couldn't be happier! It's a beautiful home that comfortably accommodated the whole crew - a full bathroom on each of the three levels was a game-changer! The house was very well-stocked and well-cared for. We're already looking at booking again in the future!

Our second time visiting, had another wonderful stay. Thanks for being such great hosts!

The place was serene with beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset. I loved that the the cabin was well stocked to ensure the most enjoyable stay from fire starter to fire wood. They even included a well-stocked first aid kit that we unfortunately needed to utilized. Very thoughtful hosts!

We stayed at the Cozy Cabin for 4 nights for a work trip. it was a nice space to relax at after a hard day of work. The location was very peaceful- we enjoyed watching the squirrels and birds! We were able to build a fire in the firepit on one of our evenings there. We loved all the extras in kitchen- to not have to buy staples you'd need to cook with for our short term stay was very nice This would easily accommodate a larger family or couple but small enough that 2 could easily enjoy the space as well. We loved the decor, it felt like a lot of love and thought went into it. We would definitely book a stay here again, any time of the year!

As advertised, bonus, perfect sunset, Mike had planned for me.

If you are looking for a bit of magic on the lakefront this is the location for you! Our family enjoyed a long weekend away at The Owl’s Nest with our dogs and we had a wonderful time! Jami and Jay were amazing hosts! So welcoming and answered any questions we had right away. There was a handwritten note welcoming us upon our arrival. The home is cozy, comfortable and super clean! We loved the wood stove in the living room for the crisp Fall nights while listening to music. The screened in porch was perfect for enjoying a hot mug of coffee and watching the sunrise while listening to the calls of Bald Eagles and Loons. The basement was perfect for watching a movie, playing darts or reading a book in the comfy leather sofa. We enjoyed the canoe and kayak on our last day there. The sand beach was perfect for our dogs to explore and rest in the sunshine. Thank you for an awesome experience at your beautiful property! We will definitely be back!!
