Beautiful rustic vintage cabin

I am a local in the area and rented the cabin for family to stay for a long weekend to attend our daughter's graduation party. Our stay was great. The owners have done a wonderful job keeping the charm of a vintage Balsam Lake cabin. I was a little concerned at first when pulling into the secluded roadway, because there are a few poorly conditioned homes before arriving to the rental cabin. Rest assued, once at the cabin, the beauty of the lake and charm of the cabin more than makes up for it. We met the friendly neighbor next door while he was walking his lovely dog. The owners are updating the landscaping and created one of our favorite places..the fire pit seating area. We swam off the dock, sup, and brought our kayaks to enjoy the lake. I polled my family and their only complaint was...the bathhouse was quite hot during the day. Thank you for a great weekend memory.
