The Stuga
My husband and I traveled to Duluth for our honeymoon and I can't speak highly enough of Chris, Linda and their entire camping experience!!!! The Stuga was so cozy and comfortable and had everything you could want in an elevated camping experience. The community areas around their land are SO COOL!! They even have a covered piano! If you're looking for a camping Oasis right in the heart of Duluth, you HAVE to stay with Chris and Linda!!

The Stuga
Highly recommended
Favorite HipCamp ever! The hosts were so kind and friendly, and the entire HipCamp was incredibly clean and well kept. The land is beautiful and all the little buildings and amenities to use were so unique and fun! My kids loved the swings the best and have already begged to return soon! Highly recommend, and The Stuga perfectly fit our family of 4!

The Canvas Cottage
Perfect w
We had such a wonderful weekend at the Canvas Cottage. The hosts made sure that everything was taken care of. The site has so much charm. We cannot recommend Balsam Ridge enough. We will be back next year.

The Roost
I cannot recommend staying with Linda and Chris enough. My girlfriend and I stayed in the Roost for a short getaway, and we were blessed with a clean and cozy cabin, a lovely porch, lit paths, and a location secluded from the rest of the city. Though it's located just a couple miles outside the city, it truly feels like a small little paradise, with a few fun little games to try out on the property, a couple rope swings, and nature all around. The hospitality is unmatched, Linda and Chris are very clearly incredibly passionate about their property and being incredible hosts, I highly recommend getting to know them on your stay here.
My girlfriend became my fiancée here in The Roost, and I could not have imagined a more perfect and romantic place than a small hut that used to house chickens to propose to my partner.
My fiancée and I will be coming back probably everytime we visit Duluth. If you're looking for a cheap, romantic, and cozy outing, I couldn't imagine a better place.

The Canvas Cottage
Privacy and a Hammock!
I loved Canvas Cottage at Balsam Ridge Retreat. Linda and Chris are fantastic hosts. Canvas Cottage is nestled into a wooded site the gives utmost privacy. It has a queen bed with a good mattress and two outside lounge chairs. Inside is a rocker, and you can look out the big screened windows for a great view. The most important though is the hammock! Fantastic. I also enjoyed spending time on the "Back Porch" the communal area by the pond.

The Canvas Cottage
This was my second time staying here at Balsam Ridge Retreat, and it was just as great as the first time!! The Canvas Cottage was cozy and despite the chilly weather that we had while we were there, we were kept warm with the heated mattress pad that they provided. The best part about this site was definitely the little porch that the site had and the hammock! Chris and Linda were, once again, such amazing hosts!! They were super kind and quick to help if need be!
