Experience cottage living swimming fabulous sunsets fishing relaxation family time
on the shores of Balsam Lake

“Thank you Gail and Grant for a great weekend at Shorelea Cottages. This was our first stay here, but definitely not our last. We loved our rustic, cozy pad in the boat house. We loved sitting at the table in front of the window looking out to the lake, especially at sunset. We toured the small towns in the area on Saturday and hit all the farmers markets, mmmmm. Most of all we loved the fishing. My husband was lucky enough to catch a walleye and I caught some of the biggest bass I've ever caught. See you next year.” - Kim W.

“We had an awesome time and the fishing was good. Cottages are not new but kept clean and kept up. You need not bring anything except your bedding sheets and food and of course your fishing equipment. Gail and Grant are awesome hosts and will help you with any details that you need. We have been going to this lovely quiet resort for 6 years now and will continue do so in the future. If you want to get away from it all this is the place to go. Have a happy, fun, safe time with your stay this summer.” - Nancy L.

“Best of the best if you want to be taken care of and for a very reasonable price. Beautiful views and great fishing, very pretty walking sites along the countryside, etc, etc. These people know how to put on a great show.” - Don B.

“Year after year after year, this place never fails to please me. 4 big men, in a well-equipped housekeeping cottage. It was comfortable, private, spacious with the screened-in room, cable TV, great docking, hydro for charging your boat, beautiful location, and gorgeous well-kept grounds... and then there's Gail. A kinder, more pleasant person, you'll never find. Did I mention affordable?” - Tom B.
