Balsam Lake Lodge

We have enjoyed this place for years. They have had some up and downs with ownership, but you can’t argue that it is one of the most beautiful settings in the area. Today we went for Sunday brunch and it was as phenomenal. We were a party of 3 andthere was so much food, which was all delicious. It was a great value and the service was exceptional.

Our family stayed in the Boston Bay suite for four nights to do some hiking over a long weekend. No complaints. The layout was great for us and our three kids. The room was tastefully decorated with nice touches. They offered snacks and beverages forpurchase, which was nice due to the remoteness of the area. The location on the lake was beautiful. We dined at the restauranttwo of our nights. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had a variety of drinks, food, and desserts over the two nights, andeverything was good. We’ll be back!

Had the greatest time here with my husband!!!! Beautiful room and a perfect weekend for us- loved sitting by the fire all night. Food service was slow but that wasn't an issue for us as we were staying in a room there so we had all day! Drinks were reallygood to keep us occupied while we waited. Cheese curds were delicious as was the steak

Quite a beautiful little place of warmth and beauty on beautiful Balsam Lake! The menu was just right. Plenty of options, but not too big to be confusing or distracting to its intentions. Food was good, as was the maple old fashioned! We even sat in thecomfy chairs next to the fire after dinner! The outside fire was also being enjoyed by guest. Wish we could have been spendingthe night in the lodge. Maybe next time!

Went at 3pm on a Sunday and it was very empty. Was slightly worried about staffing issues since it was so dead, but our waitress was attentive, without being overly so. Waitress and bartender were extremely friendly and polite. Food was excellentand the atmosphere was very pleasant. We will definitely be back!
