At Balsam Lake Lodge, we’re dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience for every guest. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply a relaxing retreat, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time with us. Here are our top insider tips to help you maximize your stay.
1. Plan Ahead for Unique Experiences
Some of our most popular offerings, like igloo dining, date night packages, and bachelorette parties tend to book up quickly—especially during peak seasons. To secure your spot, we recommend making reservations as early as possible. You can easily book online or by giving us a call.
2. Arrive Early for Check-In
While our official check-in time is 3:00, arriving early allows you to explore the resort grounds and start your vacation right away. If your room isn’t ready, take advantage of our amenities, like lakeside seating, playing pool or darts in the bar, or head out on the water.
3. Explore Local Attractions
Our resort is located near some of the area’s best wineries and breweries, making it a perfect destination for wine and craft beer enthusiasts. We recommend visiting Balsam Lake Brewery or taking a tour of Dancing Dragonfly Winery. Need suggestions? Our front desk team is happy to help!
