My husband Rob and I own a 40 acre property approximately 10 miles from Bayfield, Wi. We have a micro organic farm with hundreds of wild apple trees and believe in leaving the land better than we found it. Rob loves permaculture, managing soils, pruning apple trees and feeding his community nutrient dense food. I work as a hospice nurse and help out on the farm when I am able and we have 2 boys, Arlo and Owen. We keep busy! We offer 3 rustic rentals onsite, but each is very private and secluded. Consider all 3 for a larger gathering! We look forward to hosting you for a farm visit.

Hi there!
We have 5 yurts spread across our 40 acres with each yurt having lots of individual space and privacy. We hand built our yurts from scratch using wood from our land and local lumber, as well as sewing all the vinyl ourselves. The yurts are almost completely locally sourced, everything was handmade by us, and sustainably sourced. We are really excited to share the land we love with folks from near and far.
Your yurt is equipped with a full sized futon, two burner stove kitchen with all cooking appliances and utensils, 2 gallons of fresh drinking water (as well as oil, salt, pep, coffee, and tea all provided), a small dining table with chairs, and an outdoor fire pit.
A short 7 min drive from our property is beautiful Little Sand Bay beach. This free, public use National Park beach is gorgeous with views of Sand and York Islands, great swimming spots, $2.00 hot showers, and kayak launch.
Important things to note about your yurt site! The access to our property is via a long dirt road, this road is accessible for all vehicles but it is about a 2min drive through the woods to get to the yurt sites. Once you arrive on the property your yurt is a 2-4min (depending on which yurt you choose) hike up a hill from the parking area. I recommend backpacking in your items. Wheely coolers and bags will not enjoy the terrain. The Portapotty is located at the parking area as well. That being said, a little bit of walking will be involved in your stay :) If you love walking you are in luck and can explore the trails on the property!

Experience upscale camping–Glamping in the Forested Hills of Lake Superior. Sailor Springs is a small three-site campground located just two miles outside of the picturesque tourist town of Bayfield, WI. 2023 will be our first year of operation and we’re excited to host campers on the property and provide a unique camping experience.
The campground is spread out over 5 acres of forest that you’ll hike into from Bresette Hill Road. After parking at the trailhead, you’ll gather your bags and hike into your glamping site. The trail winds through the woods, leading you first to a valley where the seasonal Clark Creek runs through in the spring. The first two campsites are on the other side of this valley. The trail can be steep in spots and requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility to reach the secluded campsites. The third site is a bit farther into the forest, the little A-frame cabin, Anchor sits on the edge of the spring-fed Brickyard Creek that flows year-round.
We have many plans for the property and depending on when you stay, the campground will be in various stages of development. The campsites, trailhead / parking area, and trails are scheduled to be completed in early spring. We hope to add amenities such as a camp sauna and screened-in gazebo later in the 2024 summer / fall. Thank you for considering joining us on this journey to build a peaceful place to play and stay in the woods.

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.

To clarify location: We are located in Rice Lake, MN, a suburb of Duluth (with a Duluth address). :) Also, the bugs can be a challenge in summer so bring protection. We look forward to hosting you!

This is my little slice of heaven and I'd love to share it with like minded folks who appreciate nature as much as I do. I bought this property less than a year ago but I am in love with it. The mature cedar and birch trees are my favorite part about the property but the young maples are amazing too. If you've ever wanted to hear absolute silence, this is your chance. There's a lake a mile down the gravel road and you can hear loons occasionally, which makes me so happy! Frequently hear owls in the evening and at night. There is a gun range down the road so occasionally hear gunshots in the distance, but no police sirens at least 😉 There's a hill going down to the cabin that is pretty steep but you can drive down to the cabin. There are a couple walking trails made throughout the property, more are in the making. This is a great location to all the awesome nature nothern Wisconsin has to offer

Group trip
Our family loved our stay in the Gokotta tent! We just wanted a few days away unplug and to end the summer and was exactly what we needed! We wanted to camp but didn’t want all the work with setting up a tent etc so this was perfect. So many cozy touches at our site and around the whole area. It’s not as remote as the pictures show - just a large beautiful property that has some trails, so grocery store etc conveniently close by if needed. We went up to Two Harbors for a day which was about an hour drive. Our boys seemed to just want to go back to the “glamp” site though. Lol. Our boys are 10, 14 and 16 and all loved it. We enjoyed playing the homemade carpet ball game on site as a family (got pretty competitive), the swings, and just sitting by the campfire. We played cards one night in a cute building down by the little pond. Everything there had so much character and thought put into it. Even the outhouses were cute and had working light switches.
Linda and Chris were the sweetest people and genuinely wanted us to have the best stay. Will definitely go back! We loved Gokotta because was more private at the far end of the property and worked great for our family!
Thanks again Linda and Chris for such a memorable stay!

3 nights at Balsam Ridge Retreat
Unless you have stayed at Balsam Ridge before, you simply don't truly know what to expect when you arrive. Pictures, descriptions & reviews from others simply don't do justice for what you truly experience. Balsam Ridge is a place you have to spend time at yourself to fully take in and understand why this place is so highly reccommended, loved and appreciated by so many people. Once you enter the site, you completely forget you are actually still withing the limits of the city because it feels like true country! The peace, tranquility, & comfort it brings it like no other place I've ever been. Chris and Linda go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable during your stay and take care of you as if you are "home". They sincerely care about their guest and value them and their feedback and always make themselves available at all times. If you are ever in neen of a place to stay while in Duluth - I promise you - Balsam Ridge would not disapoint you!

Weekend Trip to Balsam Ridge Retreat
The mini coop is a great place to stay! It may be SMALL but it’s a perfect spot for two people! There is also a lot of privacy from the other sites that are on the property. The owners are also super kind and helpful! Highly recommend!

We had a great time at Jo’s place. It was close to the things we wanted to do but far enough away to have some peace and quiet. Jo was very easy to communicate with, would definitely stay here again!

We loved our experience in the stuga! It’s set up nicely next to a pond with a fire pit! Quick drive in to Duluth makes this campsite the best!!

Great set up for camping with a few creature comforts. Was just the right mix of enjoying the outdoors but also having a little access to electricity: charger cords, lamps, heated mattresses.

Staying in the yurt was amazing and cozy! Instructions were clear and helpful. Even on warm days it stayed comfortable. There is one lamp, so if staying there during shorter days, bring a battery operated light or lantern. A fun experience living lightly off the grid. Be sure to get the garden cart first to help unload your vehicle. We had zero cell connection- a landline is provided.

2 nights at Little Chili Farm
Cute and quiet place to relax in. Bianca was really nice and welcoming. Her dogs were chill and super cute. You could see the stars on clear night. Would highly recommend!

A fun first ever stay in a yurt! This site made our visit to Apostle Islands NPS so easy; it let us enjoy Bayfield during the couple days we had without worrying about as much set up and tear down as traditional tent camping. We loved the quiet nights, the space to cook and eat, and the ability to get to town quickly. Be prepared for mosquitoes in the outdoor spaces.

Weekend Trip to Balsam Ridge Retreat
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!
