Cabin holiday rentals in Balsam Lake

It was another enjoyable stay. This is our second time staying at Micheal’s listing here in Norland. The scenery is beautiful and we enjoyed all the amenities. Thanks again for the relaxing getaway :)

It far surpassed our expectations! We loved everything about it! Felt exactly like a private resort. Definitely coming back!

Kate's retreat is a perfect getaway from the city. Quiet, private, with lots of nature surrounding the cottage. The sauna, hot tub, and fireflies at night - were the extras on top. Thanks so much.

We didn’t realize the cottage was attached to another. But it worked out well. Grant was great and we felt it was private… just closer than expected. The lake is across a seldom used road. We could not have had a nicer host.

We loved our stay at RuthAnn and Norman's cabin! It was exactly what we needed to relax and get away from the craziness of Toronto. Everything was clean and well-organized. Norman is a fantastic host – so helpful and friendly, giving us a great tour and awesome local tips.

Kiki & Stephen were great hosts! I booked this place for myself and three of my friends as a getaway cottage for the long weekend, to explore a small town and stay in and relax. It did not disappoint. We were welcomed with warm hospitality, and a clean and comfortable place to stay. The hosts were super responsive, and helpful. I would definitely book again, and would recommend to someone looking for a place that is private and peaceful.

Cabin 28 is a perfect spot for a getaway, my husband and I spent 5 days here for our second wedding anniversary. We loved the coziness of the cabin and sitting in the hot tub under the stars. All-around great time and beautiful place! Dustin was also quick to help when we ran out of propane and ensured the place is stocked with everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us, it was a perfect place to disconnect from our hectic lives and spend some quality time together!

loved this place so much!!! right away the view from the deck and living room was stunning. everything was pristine and clean. the bed was super comfortable and warm. will be returning back to this again

very nice place to getaway and relax! Just what we needed to relax and enjoy with the family! the lake is beautiful, we really enjoyed the canoeing and kayaks. even the big yard and the view are awesome. only one thing, the sofa bed was not very comfy to sleep. but, everything else was perfect to enjoy. thanks Ash/Nic for being a good host and friendly ppl.

We had a great stay at Lisa's place. Our family spent a lot of time on the water exploring the lake in the available canoe and kayaks and really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub in the evenings. The outdoor space is setup perfectly for living outside on those sunny days and inside the cabin is cozy and has all the amenities you need if the weather isn't great.

This is such a charming little place! the home is cozy and comfortable and the sauna is a nice touch for a relaxing getaway!

Beautiful little cabin, extremely peaceful which is exactly what we were looking for. Kristin and Chris were very nice and it was great that our dogs could play together. Definitely would go back ☺️

We had an absolutely beautiful getaway at this waterfront Gem! The location was stunning, with some of the most breathtaking sunsets we've ever seen. Everything was clean, simple, and perfectly maintained, making our stay incredibly comfortable. Our kids felt right at home from the moment we arrived, and enjoyed all the water activities! We truly appreciate Victoria's quick response and can't wait to return!

Lovely, well thought out, comfortable accommodations. We would definitely recommend it.

I had an amazing experience with Michelle! She accommodated a few date changes due to other personal commitments without hesitation. She was very responsive and checked in with me to ensure we were doing well. My family and I really enjoyed the cozy cabin - absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. The cabin was clean and had literally everything! We LOVE that it was pet friendly, my fur babies absolutely enjoyed it and loved the outdoors. Would definitely book again.

Absolutely beautiful cabin! We had such wonderful stay. You thought of everything. Kitchen was very well stocked. The hot tub was amazing. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Fabulous cottage! Amazing view of the lake from both inside and out on the dock. We enjoyed cooking on the bbq grill in the evenings. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. Matthew was super responsive to any questions I had. Also close to Algonquin so was nice to spend a day there. Can’t wait to stay here again. Thank you for being wonderful hosts :)

A rural cabin with unexpected modern conveniences. Everything is new and works well. Beds and mattresses are great. Rare you find great comfortable mattresses. Sheets and blankets all smart freshly washed. Perfect for my dog. Private and safe. Bbq worked great and very hot. Not one thing disappointed me about this place. The host was happy to answer any questions. Even at 10.30 pm. Thank you it was great.

Our stay at this Muskoka cabin was perfect for unwinding. Eliza and Safiqa were both amazing hosts. The 50s vintage decor and cedar furniture created a cozy atmosphere, and the serene lake views were breathtaking. We enjoyed the pedal boat, and the outdoor BBQ space for meals with a gorgeous lake view. There were also lots of activities to do only 15-20min from the cabin which was an added bonus. Our stay had been a fantastic retreat to disconnect and recharge. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay at Natasha's. Home was very new, clean, modern and tastefully decorated. Just loved admiring all the beautiful trees! We had a dog with us and walking around the surroundings was so peaceful. Sauna/spa was great after a long walk. Very close to Haliburton and Minden. There is a very nice country market nearby as well. Highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful retreat with a modern touch.

We stayed for 4 nights at this cottage in late September, just as the autumn leaves were setting in. It was rainy at night but we enjoyed cozy nights watching The Hobbit or playing board games by the roaring fireplace. During the days, we did multiple hikes around Hardy Lake, went to Bala (a very quaint town-we made jokes about being in a cheesy Hallmark movie), toured the cranberry bogs and trails with hot wine drinks and just enjoyed time at the cottage. There is something for everyone whether you’re a cook, book-lover or outdoors enthusiast. We brought our two dogs who loved hiking the trails, watching chipmunks, swimming near the shore , and lounging on the dock. They even got into the canoe. There was a friendly senior dog who wandered down to say hi a couple times. The highlight of it all- we got engaged there! :) :) :) Sarah and Chris, you must be so proud of this enchanting cottage where so many special life moments were created.

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving getaway at Cara’s place! The place was extremely nice and cozy with everything we could ask for. The location was great, only 10 mins away from Arrowhead Provincial park, 15 mins away from all the restaurants in downtown Muskoka. The bed was also super comfortable. We had great sleep there. Overall, it truly exceeded our expectations and we would love to go back in the future!

Quaint, private, & beautiful! Mackenzie was an amazing host. The cabin was well stocked for all our needs & we felt very welcome! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us, we are going to miss sitting by the pond each morning!

This is a very cozy space. If you are looking to get away in the Kawarthas I really recommend it. Its very clean, organized, right on the water great for a family of 5-6. I would love to come back and stay even longer, a weekend was too short. No complaints.
