We had such a great time at this cottage, very clean, looked exactly like the photos, talking with the host was very easy and very fast to ever get a hold of him if I had any questions! We will be back for sure!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lighthouse cottage, on MacDonald point, on Balsam Lake! The cottage is nicely renovated and fully stocked. The deck is right on the water to enjoy beautiful sunsets. The dock is long and easy to access for an aluminum fishing boat.
Such an amazing location, beautiful scenery! Was the perfect location for a relaxing weekend. Tyler was amazing and very helpful with any questions I had leading up to and the day of check in! Cottage was amazingly stocked and super clean. Would highly recommend and will personally return again!
The key was the service provided by the host, responsive, effective, friendly and generous.
The space provided an exceptional cottage get away. The deck, dock and view are awesome. Some equipment, i.e. kayak not great. Worth the visit.
Thanks Tyler
It was a grey stay, it was a little confusing since there are two buildings on the property, but it was quickly resolved.
The only critique is there weren’t enough life jackets and paddles and life jackets for the kayaks. Tyler did try to get us some but did not provide as mentioned. Other than that it was fantastic!!! Thank you
My siblings and I really enjoyed our stay. We spent our youth in the 1960’s in Driftwood Village and we enjoyed the walk around the neighbourhood and reminiscing.
The cottage was wonderful, clean and inviting. The views on the deck were spectacular. Would love to return one day.
This beautiful cottage has the prime location on the beautiful Balsam lake!
Beautifully Design cottage, newly updated and super clean. This property is 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend it for all ages. The host was amazing and super helpful and we hope to come back to this amazing place one day.
