If you like lakes, Minnesota's got them—over 10,000 of them, in fact. While Lake Superior is a big draw, you'll find plenty of tinier lakes across the state, ideal for swimming, boating, fishing, or just staring out over the waters from your lakeside cottage. Minnesota has four distinct seasons, making a cabin stay an attractive option year-round, whether you want a warm place to cozy up after a day of playing in the snow outside Minneapolis, Duluth, or St. Paul, or need a comfortable spot to clean up after lake swimming. Water activities are Minnesota’s biggest draw—from the islands of Voyageurs National Park near the Canadian border to the waters of the Mississippi River in the southeastern part of the state, and some of the best cabins and vacation rentals offer kayak rentals, wifi, hot tubs, and more. There’s plenty to do on land, too, from traipsing the length of Lake Superior on the 310-mile-long Superior Hiking Trail to bison-viewing in Blue Mounds State Park.

Hello friends! Thanks for your interest in Balsam Ridge Retreat! Many 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. Our home 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 beyond that was a popular farm that attracted many folks to this neighborhood for hay rides and sleigh rides. The farm has since retired its horses and closed its 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.

Houston, MN · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

ALERT; We will not receive booking requests or messages from July 25th through August 10th as we will not have WIFI at that time. Welcome ; Located in southeast Minnesota's Driftless region of hills, valleys, fields and forests, we are a grass based working dairy farm with over 100 acres of woodland, including an extensive trail system and campsites in our wooded acres. What makes this woodland special is it's quiet, secluded setting and over 6 miles of hiking / skiing trails. Our farmstead sits three quarter of a mile off the paved county highway on our well maintained gravel driveway. Each of our campsites are secluded from the others with their own sawdust compost toilets, picnic tables, fireplaces, and firewood. Two of our sites require 4WD with a minimum of 6 inches ground clearance to access, and two are accessible with 2WD. If you do not have 4WD we can help transport your gear while you enjoy the walk in. There are plenty of woodland birds, deer, turkeys, raccoons and squirrels sharing the woods with you. At night it is common for owls to visit the campsite area to say hello, and coyotes talking in the distance. The winding trails through 100 acres of woodland offer a variety of woodland habitats, from Old growth Maple to mixed hardwood, to dense brush, to the edges of open pastureland. Bring your fat bike or mountain bike for an enjoyable ride. For winter users there is a mix of easy, moderate, and challenging winter cross country skiing or snowshoeing / hiking on the property. However the Rock Bottom Cabin is our only heated and insulated site and is available for winter booking. Winter access is walk in only with snow on the ground or in the forecast. We can help transport gear. This property is part of a working pasture-based dairy farm and guided tours of the dairy and cattle are available when scheduling allows. Children 12 and younger are free at our campsites. No need to be counted as guests , but please let us know when requesting to book. We do not allow non-booked visitors to our campsites due to the secluded, remote location, and accessibility.

Wilderness inspired campground specializing in hike-in rustic glamping, treehouse cabins and outfitting. Located on Whiskey Hill in the Whitewater River Valley near the town of Elba, MN. The cabins are easy to access with close parking. The hike-in rustic glamping sites offer a rugged backpacking like experience with spacious, secluded sites, creature comforts for a good night's sleep and no equipment required, all designed to immerse guests in the surrounding woodland. The land was used for personal recreation for several years. I've spent countless hours hiking and enjoying observing the seasons, plants, fungus and animals. The vision of a campground was inspired by many camping and backcountry spots throughout the United States, all of the amazing things in the woods, the beautiful blufftop valley views, proximity to a multitude of outdoor activities and adventures.

We adored our stay! Our highlights were cooking over the fire, wildlife watching (we saw a few loons, some frogs, a painted turtle, lots of fish, some deer and a beaver!). We loved the canoe — the lake is beautiful and serene. We even did a little fishing and caught 3 bluegill and cooked them up for dinner. Our senior pup, Hank, was also absolutely in heaven. We found the stay private, deeply connected to nature, comfortable, and romantic. If you’re looking for a place to unplug & recharge — this is a beautiful spot to do so!

Weekend Trip to The Camps at the Vineyards

This was such a cute and cozy spot! There weren’t other nearby campers so it felt really secluded, intimate, and quiet. We weren’t too bothered by the gun shots, they sounded far away. There were mice droppings on the bed and later on our bedding, so gloves and some cleaning supplies would be nice if provided too. Otherwise, the air mattress was extremely comfortable, the A frame cabin wall was easy to open/close, and the river, although low and nonmoving at this time, provided great cooling off for my pups. It was very cool to be able to see a lightening show from bed too! Will very likely book again!

Great location for a family camping trip. The creek and the woods were great for little kids to explore. The cabin and porch provided good coverage in the rain. The wagon for hauling stuff to the cabin was a lifesaver! The only downside was we heard a lot of road noise one evening. (motorcycle ride)

Carl was an excellent host! His hospitality was exceptional, communication was prompt, and his instructions were clear and easy to follow. One thing to note is that the GPS may take you a little past the campground entrance, so keep an eye out for the sign that says “The Vineyards Tent Camping.” Other than that, everything was straightforward. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend booking with him!

Staying at the Roost was awesome! Linda and Chris welcomed us as we arrived, gave a tour of the property, and gave great ideas on throngs or places to experience. The Roost is definitely small, so be prepared for that. That being said, we had a fantastic time at the Roost. It’s a quick drive to Duluth and a great place to recover in a quiet area after a long day out! Thanks for a great weekend!

This is a wonderful rustic cottage on a beautiful little lake. It isn't fancy, but it has. everything you need to enjoy Northern Minnesota-style lake life. There are plenty of trails to explore on the property, and a canoe is included with the rental. Paul is a great host, and is eager to help with any issues and to keep you hip to the local music scene (Revel Brewing rocks, BTW). This location is in the middle of so much to do and to experience. I hope to return someday.

Beautiful land and the overlook of the meadows from the cabin's front side was quite something. Great little cabin, and we had fun listening to some of the vinyl records on the turntable! Weather was too hot for us to want to make a campfire but the fire pit area set aside for doing so was picture perfect.
