Balsam Ridge Retreat
8 sites · Lodging5 acres · Duluth, MNMany folks that have visited our place refer to it as 'country living in the city'. We are so blessed to live in this little piece of serenity just inside the city limits of Duluth. It was once an abandoned house that sat for years, until a friend mentioned to us that it might be going up for sale. We loved the location and rolled up our sleeves. Twenty years later we still marvel at the beauty around us and can hardly believe that we LIVE here! Just down the road is a trout stream and just beyond that was a popular farm that attracted many folks to this neighborhood for hay rides and sleigh rides. The farm has since retired it's horses and closed it's doors to make room for new homes, but memories live on in the beauty of the open fields. I often imagine the sound of horses and sleigh bells and people singing carols and then warming up around a toasty fire sipping hot cocoa. Some of those memories live on right here at Balsam Ridge (minus the horses). Over the years many groups of folks have enjoyed a sense of community in these back woods no matter the season. Campfires, kids catching frogs, neighborhood campouts, snow picnics, hair-raising toboggan runs, family campouts, spiritual silent retreats, a take-your-breath-away giant swing, and some tales too daring to mention are all part of the fun. This is why we do what we do. We've been given much, and love to give back. It just wouldn't seem right to keep all this good to ourselves.

Woods and Meadows Farm
3 sites · Lodging40 acres · Wrenshall, MN"All are welcome here." We love sharing our beautiful space with you. There are forty acres with woods, trails, meadows, ponds and a creek. It is peaceful and private. Each cabin has its own special ambiance. Each space has comes with a toilet, is bug-proof, and has various levels of cooking facilities. We will help you with suggestions of things to do and see in the area if you want us to.
Please read all this and through each site's description before you "instant book."
It helps us to know your ETA in advance and to update us so that we can plan our own day as well! Once you are in the area send us a message just before your arrival so we can meet you and set you up properly!
When you come into our driveway you will see our house and barn. One of us will meet you and take you down to your site. -We ask that people check in before ten at night your first evening, so as not to disturb other guests... ;) It is very difficult to find your way in the dark. Thanks!
We raised kids and hosted international students here, and always enjoy meeting other travelers. We are now retired but still traveling and exploring. While living and teaching internationally we looked for adventure, staying in a wide range of hostels in developing countries around the globe. We have enjoyed staying in everything from bamboo long-houses in Borneo and Thailand to adobe shelters in the Andes to rondavel huts in South Africa.
There are free range chickens and a friendly farm dog here, and there are sometimes dogs staying at the other two cabins. There are also all kinds of wildlife in the area, so we require that dogs be supervised and leashed, for their safety and the safety of our chickens and our wild animal neighbors. :) Quiet hours are dusk to 7am. If you choose to bring a dog, we want you to consider your dog's inclination for barking. We keep the peace and quiet of all of our guests in mind. We hope that you (and your pet) will have fun at our northern Minnesota retreat.
Burnell and Ann enjoy having company, and hearing about your travels and adventures (if you feel like sharing) and want you to feel safe and secure. All people are welcome here, as long as you follow our reasonable rules!
PLEASE read through recommendations (number of people and animals per space) for each site before you choose:
DRAGON LOFT has one double bed in a loft with a ladder. Great for 1-2 people. Very little extra sleeping space except for a dog bed or kennel below the loft. A third person would have to bring an air mattress or cot and sleeping bag.
The BIG DIPPER can hold two people and possibly one dog, or one extra person, but it is a pinch to have more than just the two people!
RAVEN WATCH cabin is comfortable for up to four people (two full size beds) but dogs not recommended if there are four people in the cabin.
Number of pets are limited. No animals are ever allowed on human beds. Bring your kennel or dog bed. NEVER leave a dog alone at the site while you are out and about.
No firearms, off-roading, fireworks, or other items or activities deemed to be dangerous by the hosts. No unregistered guests.
We want our guests to feel welcome and comfortable, so ASK us if you have questions before you "instant book." If you have a couple of extra people or need more elbow room, ask us about a space for your tent that you can set up next to the cabin site. There is an extra charge of $15/person above the max per site.

Trembling Gardens
2 sites · Tents10 acres · Rice Lake, MNPRIMITIVE - HIKE IN CAMPSITE
About the campsite:
Camp Palustria is on the edge of a beautiful marsh within 75 feet of a trout stream. It is about 1000ft off of the Superior Hiking Trail. The campsite is primitive which includes fire pit with grill, table, and composting outhouse.
The site is about a 600ft hike from the road where you'll park. The first 400ft of the trail is a swamp with a simple elevated boardwalk through most of it. 95% of the time is it passable with hiking boats or street shoes, but there might be some muddy spots. Dispersed winter camping is also available.
This campsite was featured on NPR Marketplace
Campsite is closed during hunting season.
About the property:
Trembling Gardens is my 10 acre swamp camp paradise in the rural suburb of Rice Lake. I am currently developing the land as a personal off-grid vacation home with a tent cabin under construction. The property is less than 20 minutes away from downtown Duluth and Canal Park
“Oh the swamp is a mystical place all right. It's sacred. You think you're any different from me or your friends or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We're all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots and we are all branches of the same tree. In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to them. Time is an illusion and so is death.” -Avatar, The Last Airbender, Book Two: Earth, Chapter 4: The Swamp

Boundary Country Trekking
2 sites · LodgingGrand Marais, MN
For centuries the people of the Mongolian plateau have found yurts to be
comfortable, convivial dwellings. These round, peaked-roofed, canvas-covered
huts are warm and cozy. Over the past twenty years hundreds of skiers
traveling the Banadad Ski Trail have found our yurts to be comfortable
winter lodging. Now you can enjoy the comfort of a wilderness yurt all year
round at the new Tall Pines Yurt. Do not forget to bring your sense of
adventure.
Inside the yurt
Members of the Minnehaha Academy Ski Team
The Tall Pines Yurt is located on the edge of the Boundary Waters near
a stand of old growth white pines and on Hooker Lake, named by some
comic loggers. Half of the lake is in the Boundary Waters. The Tall
Pines, twenty-foot housekeeping yurt, is attractively furnished and is
set-up to accommodate up to four people, sleeping on a futon and bunk
beds. Additional cots or bunk beds can be brought in for larger groups.
The yurt is heated by a wood stove / fireplace, has overhead gas lighting
and a camp kitchen with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cook stove, dining
table and chairs. Ask us about making camp coffee. Outside is an attached
deck. A firepit, charcoal grill and most importantly, a
Finnish sauna are nearby. Outhouse is located near the yurt also.
Hooker Lake is a natural environmental lake, requiring a significant
setback for any structure. Over the years forest growth has occured
around the shore, which has limited the visibility of the lake from the
yurt. This lake is slowly turning into a bog and in the summer, it's
surrounded by lots of bog flowers. It is a pretty lake, but not suitable
for fishing or swimming. Yurters can drive over to the Bed &
Breakfast and fish and swim in Little Ollie Lake or portage into a
nearby lake.
During the non-snow months you hike in three hundred feet from the
summer parking area. The trail to the yurt connects to some of the
finest mountain biking trails in the area. Hiking trails are just out
the door and a canoe is provided for your use.
During the winter the yurt is an exclusive silent sports accommodation,
accessible by a 1-kilometer ski or snowshoe trek on a groomed trail from
the Lace Ski Lake Trail or winter parking area. The eastern trailhead of
the Banadad is 2 kilometers away by skis. For the adventuresome skier,
Boundary Country Trekking offers
Yurt to Yurt Skiing
between the Tall Pines and Croft Yurts along the Boundary Waters longest
tracked trail: the Banadad.
In the winter, we bring in your luggage and food containers. In the
summer, you can drive to a parking area near the yurt if you drive a high
clearance vehicle. We supply and bring in your water.You bring in your
drinking water containers. Year around, we recommend a picnic cooler
to hold your food and ice. Ice is available at a local grocery, a three
mile drive. During the winter, the Tall PInes yurt is not available on
weekends or holidays, until one week before a weekend or holiday.
The Tall PInes yurt is available for yurt to yurt resevations only for
weekends and holidays.
Pets welcome at the Tall Pines Yurt for a nominal fee. All our
accommodations, including the Tall Pines Yurt, are smoke free. Because
the yurts are located deep in the woods you might be visited by mice.
We keep traps in the yurts and we run the mice trap line often.

2 sites · Lodging160 acres · Finlayson, MNAt Medicine Creek Farm, we raise grass fed beef and lamb and pastured pork and eggs. We direct-market our food to customers in the Twin Cities and Duluth, primarily through our website. We have been moved and inspired by soil health and what we've learned of regenerative agriculture's ability to heal the land. Hannah manages the daily farm operations, taking care of the animals and moving fences and flocks through the pastures to improve the soil. Meanwhile Jason has been hard at work building our farm infrastructure including our house, shed, remodeled camper trailer, and rebuilding an 1880s timber frame barn where we host our farm stay.

Woodland 80
5 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Danbury, WI80 acres totally private and secluded, no dwellings on property. Multiple camping sites can accommodate pull-thru access for the largest 5th wheel combos, with more secluded tent spots only open to ATV, horse or hike access. Glamping packages, Campers, generators, and other equipment available to rent, water nearby no charge, dump station is 6 miles away they charge $10 as of this writing. Group camping options available.
Legal ATV / UTV / Snowmobile direct access to hundreds of miles of trails, bars, restaurants from your campsite, no need to trailer your machines anywhere!
We only rent to one party at a time for the whole 1/2 mile by 1/4 mile property you will not encounter other people here.
Hunting prohibited at all times, but there is an extensive multi-mile trail system through the property that is yours to use exclusively during your stay.
Extremely quiet, popular spot for astronomy with very very low light pollution.
Dogs are welcome but please note this is a managed wildlife property, there are active black bear dens on the property, many deer, foxes, badgers, turkeys etc so all dogs need to be leashed - it has happened and it’s not fun for anyone, so this is not a guideline, it’s one of our very few “rules.”
The other major rule is no fireworks at any time period. We had a forest fire that started from a firework, 3 fire departments required for it, not only did we lose about 5 acres of vegetation, the campers were charged the full cost of the fire department and DNR - again no fun for anyone. There is no place for fireworks of any kind here.
Camp Fires are allowed in designated fire pits when DNR fire danger is below Moderate.
Wildlife viewing and photography blinds and stands are available, fully enclosed and very comfortable with 360 degree views.
Lots of fun surprises here and if you haven’t stayed on a piece this size, this natural as your private setting it’s an experience worth trying!

Bad River Wilderness
3 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Mellen, WIOn the upper Bad River, I have a special location that I'd like to share for
others to enjoy.
I was fortunate to acquire this land 20 years ago and now that I have retired from the United States Air Force, I can dedicate time to create peaceful campsites along the river.
This land was originally railroad property as the railroad companies bought much land in the late 1800's to have options to place their railroads.
There is still a railroad track nearby but it has been abandoned and it makes a nice hiking path along the river for many miles to the north.
There are 3 waterfalls nearby and I will have a map at the campsite to find these.
