About this property

Beautiful Balsam Lake Retreat-2Hammocks on Balsam

  • Year round lakehouse/cottage on Balsam Lake in the Kawarthas. Enjoy the lake via the spectacular dock or by kayak, paddle board, canoe or on the ice in winter. The lakehouse has all the comforts of home but the real attraction is the sandbar location on Balsam Lake and it’s peaceful tranquility and crystal clear water. Fall asleep listening to the loons while the fire crackles. See the reflection of Venus shimmering on the lake and be inspired by the Milky Way. Enjoy the sunset from a hammock!

Wonderful cottage for a peaceful long weekend

We spent a most relaxing weekend, with our three teenagers and small dog at this beautiful place. The location, on Balsam Lake is fantastic. The cottage is luxurious, well- maintained and equipped. The landlord was kind to provide all directions and further support. We will certainly consider returning to this location!
