Welcome to Bally Creek Cabins

We are your basecamp for wilderness adventure!

Located just outside Grand Marais, MN, we’ve been helping folks explore the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and Lake Superior for over 52 years. Whether you’re paddling, fishing, skiing, or relaxing in a rustic cabin—this is your place to unplug and reconnect.

Our cabins are enjoyed by many people year around and we hope to have you as a guest as well so you can experience the rustic solitude that keeps our guests returning year after year.

Our cabins are not located on a lake, but rather deep in the forest. They are a close proximity to many variety of Lakes and are especially sought after for their quiet and solitude and the great trails you’ll find right out the door, as well as a flock of chickadees waiting to feed out of your hand.
