Aside from the rainy weather, our family of 12 had a great vacation! Fishing was awesome! Barely had the lure in the water before a crappie hopped on! Gaming table and pool table were great on the rainy days. Cabin had everything we needed. Would stay again!

Quiet post-Labor Day retreat.

Enjoyable. Nice setup for large groups. The included pontoon was a big plus. Need a little larger table on the deck for meals, and an umbrella for shade on the deck would help. Liked the large beautiful lakefront yard and view. Neighborhood dead end street with its slow traffic was pleasant for walking.

Great place!

This was a favorite among different family members. It has a good layout, great yard and 4 king size beds. My only complaints would be that the yard really needed to be mowed, and the 5 the bedroom was open to the upstairs which allowed sound and light to wake up those belong. It's not really an enclosed bedroom, but an open room used as a bed room. Overall, great experience though

Great Stay For Our Family!

House was clean and well-appointed. We loved our time there. A couple of things that you might want to know: There is one small restroom on each floor, which feels a bit lacking especially on the main floor if you are filling up the space with people. You will have to be willing to negotiate everyone's bathroom needs. If I were going to schedule a longer stay this would for sure feel like an issue for our family. Secondly we had a family contract covid and the homeowner was unwilling to be flexible regarding discounts for those people or rescheduling. Please know if the worst happens and you must cancel you should have insurance to protect you so that you don't loose. Other than that, we very much enjoyed our time at the cabin, and would consider scheduling again. They were very prompt on replying to our concerns and questions and were thorough with their instructions.

Clean and great communication

Even though we had a lot going on the week we stayed. The family that did make it we enjoyed the cabin. Lots of winter activities and more than enough space. We are actually planning on retuning this summer to enjoy the outdoors. The property manger Maegan was awsome. Anytime I reached out to her she responded fast. We love this cabin and we suggest everyone whose visiting Wisconsin to check them out.

Family Vacation

We had an absolutely awesome time at Fraser Fir - - The property was wonderful, equipped with everything one could possibly need - - The kitchen was supplied with everything you would have in your own kitchen and then some :-) - And, the two refrigerators were an absolute blessing! - - We all enjoyed the game room - I even beat my hubby in pool for the first time ever!! - - There were board games, card games and books galore! - The Pac-Man game was a favorite with the great-grandkids. - - The pontoon boat got a lot of use taking us fishing or out into the lake to swim - - and it worked beautifully! - - Smores, talks and stories around the fire-pit at night was wonderful - with a great wood supply. - - Communication with the owner, Megan, was absolutely great - This was the first time I had used VRBO, and she was so helpful with communications, texts and e-mails about directions to the property and answers to any question I had - -Couldn't ask for a better host - Thank you Megan. I highly recomment Fraser Fir for your next get-together!!

We had a great time. Unfortunately the weather was extremely hot but the game room gave us plenty to do. The lake is very weedy so swimming had to happen in the middle of the lake no where near the shore.

Great for family of all ages!

We stayed here in the winter so weren't able to enjoy the fire pit or the lake, but the cabin was awesome for people of all ages. The kids loved the pool table and the retro atari console. The property manager was extremely responsive when we had a question come up during our stay. It also snowed while we were there and the driveway was plowed before we left for the day. We will definitely stay here again!

Christmas at Fraser Fir

We came to Fraser Fir to celebrate Christmas together. They had a cute decorated tree for us to put our presents under it. We loved the floor plan and there were many little extras: coffee, shampoo, conditioner, salt and pepper, assortment of teas, many board games, books in every room, laundry soap to name a few. When I asked about having a bonfire, management had firewood delivered. We got a quick response when the septic alarm went off. Comfy beds. The driveway was cleared of snow promptly. Cooking was a breeze because they had everything you needed in utensils, pans, cookie sheets, serving bowls. After check out, I suggested they have more glasses/wine glasses. Management said they would take care of the suggestion that day. A great place to celebrate our Covid Christmas!

Amazing Family Getaway

After a summer of feeling trapped indoors, our family decided to get away for a fall vacation. We could not have been happier with our choice. The cabin was exactly what we needed for a large family: kids rooms were able to be secluded from noise in the evening, the dining room table was large enough for a feast, the boat was well maintained, and everything was thought of. On top of it, we had an amazing property manager who answered every question we had in moments. Highly recommend this cabin!

We had a nice time getting our entire family together. Loved the two full sized refrigerators! Also loved all the little details...first aid kits, lots of towels, soap, condiments, etc. It was a nice care free stay. If i could change one thing, it would be the water quality, but it did not affect our stay.

excellent location for our ladies fall weekend

There are 8 of us ladies that take a fall trip each year. We found the Balsam Lake area three years ago now and have fallen in love with it. We stayed at a cabin last October and wanted to stay again but unfortunately the cabin was booked. We were a bit nervous to stay at a cabin with no reviews but when we realized that the cabin was run by the same person that our first choice cabin was we were willing to take a chance. Glad we did! The cabin and lake were beautiful. She recommended a new brewery by the cabin that we tried out and loved. It had great food, fun beer and we spent hours playing cards at the brewery. The cabin was bigger than the photos made it look. The pontoon is a added bonus although we didn’t use it too much in October. Next year we will book early! We really enjoyed that the owner gave us her cell number, checked on us during the stay and was quick to offer us recommendations. Thank you again!
