Service can’t be beat. A very special thank you to Tanya who always made sure we had everything we needed including plenty of peanuts for our squirrels. Vince also deserves a thank you for spa services, general maintenance, and everything that comes with keeping the place in top condition. He always answered our endless questions with a smile.
The place is great but don’t forget their wonderful walking trails. Clearly marked, easy to navigate with lots of pleasant surprises along the way - tree swings, rafts for lazing on the river and games hiding throughout the forest.
What a treat. So good we booked on site for next year’s vacation.
Thanks again to the entire Balsam Ridge team. You guys make a great place simply wonderful.
Kyle & Brittany, March 2025:
We had a whirlwind of a two-day vacation at your extraordinary domes, and we simply need to express our profound gratitude for an unbelievably fantastic time.
Set amongst rolling hills and breathtaking natural beauty, your domes offered exactly the escape we needed from the daily grind. Between the serenity of the environment and the warmth of your hospitality, we felt ourselves relaxing in a way we hadn’t for a long time.
And then, as if that wasn’t impressive enough – there came the proposal set up. It was a dream come true, beautifully executed, and the cherry on top to our perfect mini vacation. It became an event we’ll never forget, and it was thanks to your support and planning that it went off without a hitch.
Your team didn’t miss a single detail, from the hospitality to the service. The entire experience was nothing short of perfect – a testament to the passion and dedication you put into your work.
Because of the exceptional time we enjoyed, we have decided that we will be returning each year on this date. We can’t wait to create more incredible memories at your beautiful establishment.
Once again, thanks to all of you for the unforgettable vacation. See you next year!
