About Andrew and Joy Ballard
We are a husband/wife team, Andrew & Joy. For years we have dreamed of having a space where friends, family and guests can retreat to out of the hustle of life and enjoy some quality time together. The moment that we walked into the River Lodge with our 4 young children, we fell in love with it. We are honored and excited to provide our guests with an exceptional retreat experience!
Andrew and Joy Ballard purchased this cabin in 2018
Why Andrew and Joy Ballard chose Aitkin
We love retreats--whether intentionally organized, or simply for the fun of getting away from our busy lives for a while. The River Lodge provides the space for a lot of people to sleep, but also enough space to cook together, eat together, hang out and have fun together. It was important for us to create an environment where a large number of people could be comfortable and feel at home. This is why we have put a lot of care into the furnishing choices, layout and quality. It is a special place where our guests can gather with their family and friends and make lasting memories!
What makes this cabin unique
It's a true home away from home, plus more! There is a fully stocked kitchen, multiple living areas for all ages to enjoy and a partial wrap-around porch where you can enjoy the view and sounds of the Mississippi River. It also features in-floor radiant heating and wheelchair accessibility.
