    We were visiting for a wedding. This was a very large home which provided plenty of space for 8 adults and 3 children. The children loved the kids books and toys that were available to play with. The kitchen was large enough for all of us plus a few more family members to join us! The Balsam Lake town was very cute with a few places close to get items needed. The house was well stocked with essentials which was very helpful! We found just a few things that we shared with the host who indicated they would work with their cleaners to improve. Overall, a wonderful stay!

    Big Blue was a beautiful home. With only 6 of us, there was more than enough room to roam, also offering a little privacy when needed. The spacious kitchen/dining area was terrific. Kitchen was well equipped with everything needed. Bedrooms used were very comfortable. Three bedrooms went unused! A surprise bonus was the garage. TV, couches/chairs, extra refrigerator, it gave off a bit of "man-cave" feel that we took advantage of. Not showing up on the listing but a pleasant surprise was the firepit and Adirondack chairs in the back yard. The front yard was huge and allowed for some great bucket golf games. I was initially concerned that the house was not "on the lake". Turned out to be a non-issue as the walk to the lake was short and easily navigated. The dock proved to be a little bluegill haven for my grandson to get his fishing fix. We rented a pontoon from the Marina nearby and were able to dock it easily. Also not mentioned in the listing was the fact that a pontoon was available to rent with the house. I believe it is shared with another rental property; you simply have to check with the host for availability.Check in/out was very smooth. Communication with our host was very good. She was very responsive to any of our inquiries and was a real pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Big Blue, especially for a group or family of 6 or more. The sleeping capacity shown in the listing is not an exaggeration!

    Our family spent several fun filled days at Big Blue on Balsam Lake. The cabin (actually a beautiful house) was very clean, lots of amenities and plenty of room for everyone. Our hostess was easily accessible and very accommodating. She was prompt in all responses to our questions and this was very appreciated. This is a beautiful place.
