About Us

At Amnicon Valley Acres, we pride ourselves not just on offering exceptional retreat experiences, but also on the deep, personal connection we have to the land. Our roots run deep in the North, spanning three centuries: the 1800s, 1900s, and 2000s. The owner’s great-grandparents homesteaded just down the road on the Amnicon River near the Windmill when they immigrated from Finland and Sweden.

This rich family history and connection to the land shape our passion for the Duluth-Superior area and make AVA a place where every retreat is infused with local heritage and personal meaning. We’re proud to share this unique history and culture with you, offering a corporate retreat experience that blends modern amenities with historical significance.
