WELCOME
"A hidden gem on the beautiful, quiet bay of Big Sand Lake"
Established in 1928, Balsam Bay Resort continues to be a long time favorite for many Minnesota family vacations. "It’s one of those MN fishing resorts you want to come back to year after year".
"We bring our family up to Balsam Bay Resort every summer because they have everything we want in a MN vacation. We can fish off the dock, rent a boat, bring our dog, hike in the woods… The kids really enjoy the swimming pool (while everyone fishing appreciates them not scaring the fish away)! The cabins are quaint and exceptionally clean and you can’t beat the service. The owners of Balsam Bay are just good people."
Why choose Balsam Bay Resort? Affordable vacation that does not skimp on value. Not only do we have a beautiful resort with just about every amenity you can think of, we are one of the best reasonably affordable vacation spots in our area.
