Cabin vacation rentals in Balsam Lake

If you have any inclination for a retreat in the woods and a cozy, clean, minimalist space — this is the spot for you! Both the indoor and outdoor showers are luxurious. The bed was the best sleep we've had in ages. Even the yard furniture is comfortable. Not to mention the lovely hot tub! The surrounding nature is incredible. It's so quiet and beautiful, and the delight of the space can't be understated. The hosts were incredibly responsive — at one point, we couldn't figure out the outdoor lights, and they remotely helped us find and flip the appropriate breaker. Highly recommended!

A Perfect Getaway at a Beautiful Water View Cottage! Our group of girlfriends recently had the pleasure of staying at a lovely Airbnb cottage in Norland, and I can't recommend it enough! The location was great, with great views of the water that made every moment feel special. The cottage itself was very nice, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the hosts were attentive. We were disappointed that we couldn't fully enjoy the wonderful deck due to the weather. However, the hot tub was a fantastic highlight of our stay, and we made the most of it! Overall, our stay was great, and look forward to returning. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with beautiful scenery, this is the place to be!

Perfect little place for peace and quiet with the right amenities for pampering. Open, clean, and comfortable. Will definitely go back!

A beautiful place, with everything you need for a private romantic retreat, my girlfriend and I also enjoyed bringing our dogs along. I’d say if one thing could be changed I have a preference for a firmer bed.

Grant is a fantastic host, he really made us feel like family. We will be going back for anniversaries and looking forward to it. We wish we could give more than five stars, it was an incredible experience that we will cherish. We will also be recommending their place to friends and family. Thank you both!!!

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.

Dustin’s place blew us away. Every little detail was well thought out and Dustin was great to communicate with. We had an amazing time at the property. It was fully stocked, clean, and exactly as described in the listing. I’m convinced Dustin’s a natural when it comes to interior design. Everything looked like it was out of a catalogue. I especially enjoyed kayaking down the river, and enjoying coffee on the porch.

We stayed for two nights with my husband and our dog, and we loved it! The place was cozy yet modern, with all the essentials—heating, cooling, and wifi. The bathroom was a definite highlight for us. Everything was just as described, and the little jar of honey was such a sweet touch. We also appreciated the bug helmets and Thermacell—super handy! The location was great, and having easy access to the Oxtongue River and dock was super convenient. Kayaks and canoes were also included in the booking. The views were beautiful, and the outdoor space was both peaceful and functional. Check-in was smooth, and the host had great communication and was very responsive. The cabin’s modern design really stood out. Thanks so much for having us—we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Good value. We were looking for something humble and didn't want to break the bank. This is a very nice spot with that special something. We were snowed in our entire stay but the space was well set up for that, with TV's in each room with internet and apps. Really kind host. I would recommend this place and we would book again.

Really clean place, super close to the lake! not as private as we thought it would be but still amazing! Eleasha was super sweet and responsive, we had a great time :)

Kristin's place was phenomenal! The cabin was welcoming, cozy, and extremely clean and well kept. We felt right at home. Kristin was very responsive and accommodating. Granting us a lovely night away in peaceful serenity. I would absolutely recommend, and will definitely be booking again!

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.

This place rocks. I wish we’d been able to stay longer! The cabin is gorgeous, the setting is peaceful, and I was grateful for so many little thoughtful touches, like the bug spray and the firewood. Ben is a wonderful, kind, communicative host. Grateful for the time here and very much hope to come back for a longer stay!

This cottage was our dream place for our small friend group’s getaway. The back patio and waterfront make the perfect setting. The interior is clean and spacious with full kitchen, living room and 3 bedrooms. Thank you for a perfect trip!

Everything was great! The house is so cute and comfortable to be in and Natalie was a kind and responsive host! Definitely the perfect hideout style getaway that I was in need of!

It was such a pleasure staying here! Hannah made us feel so at home from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. She gave plenty of great recommendations for the area, and even called a nearby restaurant for us to squeeze us in (despite it being fully booked)! The cabin itself was comfortable and well stocked. We especially loved using the wood fire sauna and outdoor shower. We enjoyed the walking trails in the area and hanging out with the chickens. The cherry on top was the maple croissants in the morning and taking home fresh eggs and maple syrup from their farm! 100% would recommend for a weekend getaway.

Loved this stay

I will definitely be coming back, host was very responsive and accommodating, place and surroundings were amazing. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time! it was truly peaceful and beautiful. A perfect little space with stunning surroundings that really does feel like a little oasis

Our stay was the most amazing experience. The pictures don’t do justice to the property and the surroundings. Its everything you need and more. Mackenzie is super helpful and responsive. Her place is very tastefully and carefully designed and there’s so much to do. We will definitely be coming back again.

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.
