Guests staying at Cedar Villa resort on Balsam Lake during the 1950s were welcomed by beautifully-maintained hedges, gardens, and Adirondack chairs as seen in this picturesque view.

Neatly-spaced groves of cedar trees, beautifully-maintained hedges, a stone-lined garden, and a freshly-mown lawn characterized the grounds of Cedar Villa resort when this view was captured from the shores of Balsam Lake around 1955.
