3 nights at Bundo's Cabin

One of my new favorites! Private and clean. Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Trails End Retreat

What a weekend getaway. This site was exactly what we were looking for. We got there and were met by Todd who greeted us and led us out to the site. After we pulled up he let us know that this back 80 acres was all ours for the weekend. Site was already stocked with firewood and we were given not only one but 2 dozen eggs due to miss communication on their part. Site was large and we had our camper and our screened in tent set up with plenty of space. We had some great spring weather and we're able to build a large fire to keep warm at night. Stars were out both nights! Big plus was that we had excellent cell reception to stay in touch with our kids and we were even able to stream the Wild Playoff game directly to our campers TV.

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa

The Office was a great space for our weekend camping trip! We loved how easy it was to get to, and how well situated everything was on the property. We had our own private bathroom and fire pit. Firewood was provided and easy to get from the wood pile for our fires. Debbie was super responsive and kind She was open to answering any questions we had. She even left us with some breakfast items (fresh bread, yogurt, boiled eggs, cream for our coffee) which was an unexpected but nice touch. We loved how close the property was to Banning State Park and Jay Cooke State park. The Office was also heated which made camping on a 38 degree night a breeze! (Camping is a loose term as we had all the convenience of a bathroom, gas stove, refrigerator and pump sink. Though we definitely cooked out over the fire for a few meals-making it somewhere between camping and clamping. Great for us! The property also had a fitness cabin with a sauna. We did not use this as our adventures had us away from camp most of the weekend, but it was definitely a nice touch and I think in a future trip would be awesome to use!

Weekend Trip to Off Grid Lakeside Yurt

The work the hosts have put into the land really shows. It’s a beautiful property with stunning views. I will definitely be wanting to come back!

5 nights at Trails End Retreat

I totally recommend this campsite. It was super worth it. Me and my girlfriend traveled all the way from Wisconsin. And got treated with nothing but hospitality. It was one of the most greatest experiences of my life. The campsite was clean. It was secluded and everything that I needed. If you get the chance to get to this campsite, you won’t be disappointed.

Weekend Trip to Bundo's Cabin

Place was well equipped for my needs. The view was pleasant and the privacy was much appreciated. The mini split heat/ air was both quiet and efficient. Cabin was clean without the smell of strong unhealthy soaps. Lots of deer paths to follow into the woods. Fire put and the yard were nice too. 😊

2 nights at Bundo's Cabin

I booked Bundo’s Cabin for a mini “artist retreat” and it was a lovely early spring trip- the perfect balance of comfort and roughing it. I hope to be back!

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa

This tiny cabin was so cozy! The heaters kept the cabin so warm, even though the night we stayed was cold and rainy. We loved that there was coffee and everything we needed to make it right there in the cabin. The breakfast was such a generous touch. Overall, this was SUCH a great getaway, even on a cold spring weekend.

Weekend Trip to Trails End Retreat

We had an amazing early-season stay at Blueberry Lane campsite in Hinckley, MN! The moment the road was passable by truck and trailer, we headed out—and it was well worth it. The campsite was clean, secluded, and absolutely beautiful. It felt like our own little slice of peaceful Minnesota wilderness. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. You can tell they really care about the land and the experience they're offering. If you're looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back for another visit this summer!

We loved staying at the Wild West cabin! The host was super responsive and helpful. It was stocked with everything we forgot to bring, from coffee to olive oil. We drove up to banning state park for a beautiful hike.

3 nights at Bundo's Cabin

This was an amazing trip. The cabin is so cozy and has everything you need for a successfully relaxing trip. The cubbies of books and all the misc special extras outside really make a difference! Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks again!

Balsam Ridge Retreat

8 sites · Lodging5 acres · Duluth, MN

Hello everyone! Thanks for your interest in Balsam Ridge! Many of you folks have been here and know how much we thouroughly enjoy hosting! Some of you also know that we've been caring for my 93 year old mom for the last two years here at our home. Over the winter we realized that as the days progress, so does the amount of care she needs. For this reason we've decided to put our retreat on pause, and give her our best for this last season of her life. We appreciate your understanding. 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. 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.

Superior Beach Camp

2 sites · Tents10 acres · South Range, WI

Escape to Superior Beach Camp and immerse yourself in the beauty and privacy of a cleared camping area situated above 500' feet of sand and pebble beach on the world’s greatest lake. Agate campsite is very generously sized and is all yours. Surrounded by a mix of poplar and birch with a few white pine sprinkled in, the main camp area is set back from the lake atop a 70' bluff with peekaboo views of Lake Superior. A short walk down a private path from your campsite gives you access to a beautiful Lake Superior beach to swim, skip rocks, search for agates, or just enjoy the panoramic views of the lake and the town of Duluth on the opposite shore. Agate campsite previously featured a "look out point" that has been altered by the natural erosion of the red clay banks that comprise much of Lake Superior's south shore. While you can still access this area, doing so will require more effort and care, and we no longer allow camping on the point. Superior Beach Camp located is 2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities and perfectly positions you to discover all the wonders of the Twin Ports. Explore this amazing area or stay at camp, set up your chair in the sand and take in the many moods of Mother Superior. Watch the ships come and go to the sparkly backdrop of Duluth’s city lights. The crackle of a driftwood fire on the beach provides the perfect soundtrack as you watch for shooting stars and the aurora. Stock up on supplies and explore the charming industrial town of Superior, WI – 15 minutes from your campsite. Spend a day mountain biking the Duluth Traverse and touring the the wonderful local dining and tap room scenes of Duluth and Superior. Canal Park, downtown Duluth, is a 25 minute drive. If you’d like to venture further, you could meander up the North Shore. Or keep it local and check out Bayfield and the Apostle Islands – only 75 minutes East. Stop through the charming lakeside village of Cornucopia on your way. Or perhaps you’d like to experience world class trout fishing on the Brule River a half hour from Superior Beach Camp. Maybe Parks are your thing: Amnicon Falls, one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful State Parks, is reachable in 10 minutes by car. Drive a half hour further to Pattison State Park and take in Wisconsin’s tallest waterfall. On the Minnesota side, the magic of Jay Cooke State Park is 30 minutes west (and puts you on the doorstep of legit white water rafting). Whether you're looking for solace and relaxation in a blissful [great] lakeside setting or simply seeking a convenient place to rest your head while exploring the many adventures a stone’s throw from your campsite, there is something for everyone who camps here. Superior Beach Camp is a clean, quiet, peaceful, primitive setting. We appreciate that our campers help us keep it this way; remember to pack in any supplies or provisions you need, and leave no trace when you depart so our next guests can enjoy a clean campsite.

O'Dalaigh Hideaway

1 site · Tent2 acres · Pine City, MN

The property is on a vacant lot next to our cabin lot on the Snake River East of Pine City MN. This lot has the better river view and experience as its a small peninsula that juts out to the river with rapids. There is a swimming area right next to the campsite or feel free to jump into the rapids if you want a rush. River is not deep most of the year and there is fishing right there as well, mostly large and small mouth bass. There is parking off the road and a short walk to the campsite, just follow the sounds of the river. A small wagon is provided to help with getting gear down to the river tent site. New this year (2025) is a composting toilet along the trail to the tent site. It uses a "separator" where #1 goes back to the earth (as it is sterile and liquid) and #2 goes into a bucket and is covered with wood chips. There is also a standing urinal for men if desired. If you would prefer to use a pit toilet there is one on the property with directions marked with a sign. It is a farther walk however, about 100 yards from the tent site and on the cabin property near the driveway. If you want something even more convenient, feel free to bring your own. Firewood is available for sale onsite or feel free to clean up dead wood lying along the trail at no cost, note that it is more than likely freshly cut and wet but will burn if the fire is hot enough. The tent site is right next to rapids on the Snake river. If you struggle sleeping to the sound of rushing water, this may not be for you!

Once you are in the area send us a message just before your arrival so we can meet you and set you up properly! Thanks in advance! We raised kids and host 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 cabin. 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. No dogs may be left unattended on our property while you go out and about... take your canine pals with you! 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.

All people are welcome here, as long as you follow our reasonable rules! 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.

Sitting outside on the benches by the pond, you can enjoy a raised fire ring and roast some marshmallows. Price based on two adults. Small fee for up to two more people. Sad to say we have to say this again: NEVER leave a dog alone at the site while you are out and about. We/you do not want to deal with damages from doggies who feel left behind. Keep in mind the number of pets and limited in the space there is. Write to me if you have questions. We love our dog, too, but please, no animals are allowed on human beds. Bring your kennel or dog bed and leashes. We also love and respect our wild critters' space so keep yours on a leash and pick up all poop. :) No firearms, off-roading, fireworks, or other items or activities deemed to be dangerous by the hosts.

Since living here we have used the land for hiking, gardening, wood harvesting, selling Christmas trees, and now we are excited for our new adventure of opening a small part of our land for camping. We are excited for you to enjoy our land as much as we do.
