About this property

All seasons cabin getaway

Located an hour outside of the Twin Cities the Loon Lookout offers a quick getaway and restful retreat. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an additional bunkhouse, this cabin comfortably accommodates up to 10 people. Fully modernized and complete with all the creature comforts of home. Right on the lake- for four seasons of fun, with excellent snowshoeing, fishing & swimming just out your door!
The Lake is yours! Fishing, boating, swimming, floating all right out your door. Bring your swimsuits and fun floatation rafts. Swimming off dock is clear and weed free - you can also explore and find great swimming areas throughout the Balsam Lake chain. The cabin rental comes with access to a row boat and small pontoon paddle boat (non motorized). You can also rent a boat at the Sunnyside Marina (715-485-3393) or bring your own, the Balsam Lake Beach public boat launch is located in close proximity to the cabin.
As the name suggests, common loons abound here in the summer! Wildlife watching, birding and photography are always good options so bring your binoculars and hiking sticks. Explore Balsam Lake or take a day trip, the cabin is close to both WI and MN state parks (Interstate Park in Taylors Falls MN and Crex Meadows near Grantsburg WI are two great places to explore). Wild Mountain is also a quick 20 minute drive away, with fun for the whole family. The cabin is right on the lake but tucked behind Pine Island, so it offers a peaceful lakeshore protected from the wind, nice for lakeside campfires and early morning coffee sunrises.

Beautiful Lake

We had a relaxing stay. Great restaurants and shops to wander thru. Lake is super clean. Only downside to our party of 4 older gals was steep steps with no handrail and bunkhouse with no bath which didn't work for us. Super clean and well stocked. Thank you Kristen! party of 4

Great Spot on Balsam Lake

Our family had an amazing time at this quaint cabin on Balsam Lake. The two docks were perfect for our boats and we appreciated being offset from the main lake where there was less traffic. Would highly recommend!

Excellent location!

Was a great stay! We brought a boat and parked it at the dock for the entire stay... worked very well. Property is right there next to the lake and you're walking distance to several places to eat and drink.

Beautiful fall getaway!

The leaves were exploding in color during our stay at Balsam Lake. The cabin was everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Quiet, comfortable and beautiful. We brought our canoe to explore the lake and we found some lovely wineries/breweries nearby. We would absolutely stay again!

Weekend girls retreat

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was cozy and accommodated our group nicely. We had plenty of kitchen supplies. A few of us made use of the paddle boards and paddle boat. Kristin was a great host. She was quick to respond to our needs and questions. The water was clear and quiet in the small bay area. I would highly recommend staying here with a group of 4 to 8 people.

Sister/daughters get away

The only negatives we would find are there is no bathroom or water in the bunkhouse and the property is steep if you have any physical limitations. However, neither of these impeded on our trip in any way!. The property is in a wonderful spot for watching wildlife from the cabin or on the docks and going on gorgeous walks. We enjoyed wonderful peddle boat rides to explore the lake. Kristin was wonderful host responding quickly to all and any concerns or questions! Great memories were made with our sister group. Three generations of 4 sets of sisters from the same family!

We made memories for a lifetime!

First off, Kristin is such a wonderful hostess. She is so kind professional, thorough and happy. She provided everything our large group could ever need. She even allows you to bring your dog (it is only allowed in the garage or bunkhouse) which I think is wonderful. The memories we made together for our week’s stay will forever be cherished in our hearts. The peddle boat was used a lot, especially by the kids. Having two private docks made it super fun for the kids to catch never-ending panfish with sizes ranging from supper small to very large. Our beds were comfy and the property felt like it was ours. The kitchen and having two bathrooms available was nice. As I stated above, Kristin provided us with a lot of extra stuff which made it so convenient. I went home having no laundry to do (3 kids + husband) because the property has a washer and dryer. There was a lot of wildlife around us. We would see a bald eagle swooping down over the water to catch a fish daily. We could hear bullfrogs, the loons, and a bald eagle making music throughout the days. The lake is action-packed. We caught abundant bass and two small mouth bass. My husband even hooked a musky on accident. It ended up breaking the line but made for a wonderful story. Our time flew by and the kids all cried when we left. That is such a good sign. Thank you, Kristin, for allowing us to stay in your home. We will never forget our week at Balsam Lake.
