~ BALSAM ~
A fully renovated cottage. On the water and on the Point with spectacular views. One bedroom, living room with high-rise sleeper couch (two separate beds), efficiency kitchen.


While choosing favorites is never easy, surely beautiful Balsam Cottage, with its charming interior and breathtaking setting near the tip of Prospect Point, ranks high
among the cottages adored by our guests.


Like Willow Cottage, Balsam is situated on the Point and overlooks both the lake and cove.
A delightful blend of country and rustic styles defines her interior and floods it with charm.
   

Every convenience is found in
her lovely kitchen . . .

. . . even a built-in fridge to give you
plenty of room.
   

Her bedroom features a queen bed, a twin bed, a built-in chest of drawers and a closet.

And the living room couch opens
into two separate beds.
   

You'll be privy to the paragon of privies!



The perfect place for a campfire, to catch up on reading, or to watch the dazzling Perseid meteor showers every August.
   

Ah, to paddle by Balsam Cottage for an outing among the islands
in Blue Mountain Lake's West Bay - now that is one of life's great pleasures!

Paradise Found! Quite simply, it's Balsam.
 

Though you can't quite see it in this picture, the bedroom (like the living room and the porch)
features staggering views of the lake and mountain.
 

Practical math: Charming interiors + incredible scenery =
a vacation your family will thank you for all year long!

Here's the view from your porch, looking south . . .


. . . Turn around, and you'll be looking east.
That's the thing about Balsam. No matter who sits where, everyone gets the best view.
 

Like every cottage on Prospect Point, Balsam has its own campfire ring, grill, and picnic table.
 

When words fail, you know you're in the right place.
 
We'll allow that there might be a more magical spot in this world,
but if there is, we haven't found it.
 

Listen to the lapping waters, and fall in love with life all over again.

 

We rest our case.
