The room was shared a wall with the hotel bar. There was live music till 10PM, then the crowd got louder as the night went on. The bar closed at 1AM but We could hear loud talking well past 2AM outside our rooms door! If you can sleep through the noise the room was clean, and modern.

Beautiful lake, the food was pretty good, the room didn't have a window but the bed was comfy. Bathroom door squeaked pretty loud. Perch dinner Friday night was excellent. Prime Rib Saturday was good but was just served warm. Live music Friday was excellent. Outdoor fire pit was beautiful. There are some nice wineries close by and a few neat spots in town.

Balsam Lake Lodge is a beautiful property and the room was lovely. However, when we arrived at the 3 pm check-in time they were short staffed and they could not login to the computer for check-in. They had to call the manager who was off-duty and did not answer or return the call. We waited for 45 minutes before they said our room was being cleaned and would be ready in about 20 minutes.
The 3 young women who were trying their best to perform all the necessary duties were not at fault. They did their best. The problem was poor management.

Nice lake, but I won’t stay here again.
No windows in our room. Room not cleaned by 3:00 check in.
No beach
There is kayak rental
The staff seemed much more concerned about the restaurant and bar than the lodge.
Staff was somewhat disorganized.

There was no room service so we had to hunt down someone every day to get Keurig coffee refills. Hard to find someone!
There was no place in the bathroom to store/put toiletries, pills, hairdryer, etc. They had a little pedal stand that could only hold my husband’s dop kit. And There was plenty of space in the bathroom for a chest or table since there was no countertop.
Couldn’t charge anything to your room cause it was too confusing for them, really??
For $250 a night I would never stay there again.

Room was directly across from the registration desk which made it noisy until the kitchen closed and was cleaned for the night. There was a BRIGHTLY illuminated exit light hanging inside the room above the door. The brightness/intensity of the light made it difficult to sleep. The person who checked us in was really rude, we stood there for like 10 minutes before she acknowledged us. She was on the phone but didn’t even smile or acknowledge us in anyway even though we were standing right in front of her. I travel in northern WI several times a month for work. Because of this interaction, I will not stay here again.
