We had a great time camping at Bally Creeks off grid cabins. The accommodations were great and we were very impressed with the cabin. Also, can't beat the location being only 10 minutes from Grand Marais! Our two golden retrievers had the time of their lives as well.

Weekend Trip to Raven Moon Ridge

We had the best experience at Raven Sky Yurt! The yurt was cozy and cute and well set up. It was great to have a propane stove and fridge and water to wash dishes. The yurt was also well set up to keep the bugs at bay. Everything worked perfectly and we felt super comfortable and really enjoyed our stay. We loved how nice and secluded it felt. Best part was the fire pit and a bonus surprise visit from the neighbor’s very friendly dog! We had a great time and can’t wait to come back! Thank you for this perfect escape in Grand Marais.
