Room was very clean, staff was amazing, only reason I could not give a 5 star review was due to room location. Directly across from front deck and close to front door, this causes a lot of noise just outside our room. Food in the resteraunt was very good as well.

The room was shared a wall with the hotel bar. There was live music till 10PM, then the crowd got louder as the night went on. The bar closed at 1AM but We could hear loud talking well past 2AM outside our rooms door! If you can sleep through the noise the room was clean, and modern.

This room is a very nice. It felt clean & quality. Great size for a large family to be cozy & close together, yet have enough space for everyone to sleep and some small areas for kids to play. As a designer I loved the way this room was finished. However, this room is located next to the bar/restaurant. The stage was on the other side of the wall to our room. We stayed on a Friday night/Karaoke night and were able to hear every song & sing along. Fortunately this only lasted until 10pm and bar closed at 11. The door to this room is next to the check-in counter which also felt a bit odd, but the room helped make up for it. All in all, I enjoyed my stay here. It is larger than your average hotel room and nicer than most as well for about the same price. If you are staying on a weekend you may want to call and find out what event might be going on. However, if you turn up the TV volume and plan on not going to sleep until after 10pm this will work for you. This lodge is not that large. Maybe a max of 10 rooms...? It would be a great place to have a small wedding where everyone is able to rent a room and have the whole lodge to yourselves.

Beautiful lake, the food was pretty good, the room didn't have a window but the bed was comfy. Bathroom door squeaked pretty loud. Perch dinner Friday night was excellent. Prime Rib Saturday was good but was just served warm. Live music Friday was excellent. Outdoor fire pit was beautiful. There are some nice wineries close by and a few neat spots in town.

Nice lake, but I won’t stay here again.

Balsam Lake Lodge is a beautiful property and the room was lovely. However, when we arrived at the 3 pm check-in time they were short staffed and they could not login to the computer for check-in. They had to call the manager who was off-duty and did not answer or return the call. We waited for 45 minutes before they said our room was being cleaned and would be ready in about 20 minutes. The 3 young women who were trying their best to perform all the necessary duties were not at fault. They did their best. The problem was poor management.
