My girlfriend and I had a nice cozy stay at The Balsam Retreat hosted by Jenna. Jenna made sure of attention to detail and the stay was so near and clean. She offered chocolates as welcome kit. Made sure the kitchen is full of essential items (coffee, popcorn, tea) and the fridge was also filled with items to your liking. She made sure to ask if there was anything extra we would like to have and provided too. It is a great place to live in a quintessential town. Thank you Jenna for being a wonderful host. We will definitely be coming back to the place while planning to visit nearby.

I had a wonderful stay at The Balsam Retreat and look forward to re-booking when I pass through town again. The convenience of feeling like I am home while away on a job... it was perfect!
