About this property

Mallard Point - Cabin 2

Our little peninsula has been a Northwoods getaway for the past 75 years. Formerly Mallard Point Resort, we're keeping the tradition alive by welcoming guests back to this multi-cabin, micro-resort style stay. This is the kind of place where you can expect to see other guests and share outdoor spaces (or bring friends and rent all three cabins to have the place to yourself!). We're less than 10 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from Tioga MTB trails. This listing is for Cabin 2.

Cabin 2 has natural wood finishes, an open living and dining space, and a kitchen and bathroom stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

⇸ High ceilings with large windows that face south for views of the lake and lots of natural light.
⇸ Gas range and kitchen stocked with all the essentials- cookware, dishes, coffee, soaps, towels, etc.
⇸ Loft with a quality king-sized bed and ground floor bedroom with two twin beds.
⇸ Fully winterized with a gas fireplace.
⇸ We allow families of 5 if you have a child in a travel crib.
⇸ Fast WiFi - 250mb up/down

What We Love About It
We love the access to the lake, it's so easy to get out paddling, fishing, sailing, snowshoeing, or just take in the views from an Adirondack chair.

Mallard Point

Stayed three nights at Mallard Point cabins. This is our fourth year returning and loved it. There is a perfect swimming beach that is nice and sandy. The area is perfect for kids to play in water and the adults to enjoy the sunshine. The fire pits and wood provided make for a nice evening.

Great place to unplug

Enjoyed our stay and appreciate the great space that has been created here. Loved the view of the lake from the cabin and the peaceful / quiet space. The wood-fired sauna was an added bonus! Thanks so much for a fabulous stay.

Cute cozy cabin on the lake

Loved our stay in northern Minnesota. Though small, our cabin was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. No TV but had blue tooth speakers for music and plenty of games and puzzles.

“ Up North”

Met up with my friend from Norway to reminisce growing up in MN. This peaceful location has all of the best. The wonderful birch bark and red pine woods, the loon calls off of the lake and beautiful sun sets.

Family/Pet friendly cottages on an awesome lake!

This cottage (there are two actually) was lovely. It was well equipped and maintained which made it very easy to be there the week with my family (2 boys, husband & self) and 2 dogs! Having my dogs with me made it a true treat! Emily & James are professional and welcoming and made us feel at home. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because of the closeness of the buildings. The pictures don't really show how close the cottages are to one another and the owner's house. I almost felt like I was on a family vacation with the owners and the other cottage occupants which was fine but not really what we were expecting. My family is very private and would have preferred a more isolated house/cottage to stay in. Other than that, it was PERFECTION. Great location. Awesome (super comfy) beds. Well kept yard. Clean lake with lots of fish and not too much boat traffic. Thanks for a lovely week!

Annual Fall Getaway

We absolutely loved our time at the cabin with our parents! Seeing the sunrise in the morning, enjoying the view of the lake, and seeing the first snowfall was so beautiful! Emily and James thought of everything to make our stay wonderful. We have been coming here for many years. We all feel like this cabin is our home away from home! Would highly recommend!

Cozy Cabin on the Lake

Cabin was comfortable and cozy and we loved being just steps from the lake. Owners were helpful and responsive with communication before our trip and everything while we were there was smooth and easy. Quality and availability of water crafts (kayaks, sups, canoe) was far better than most rentals we've experienced. Would definitely return to this spot.

A favorite MN vacation spot

Our 3rd long weekend here did not disappoint. Still as beautiful and fun as the first trip! Renting both cabins so the grandparents could fish, kayak (and watch Maui mat silliness) with our kids made this trip extra special.

We stayed for several days after a winter snowstorm and when the temperature was less than zero F. The cabin was very well insulated and always very comfortable and the property is well maintained and the area is beautiful.

Cozy cabin getaway

We rented this cabin as a little get away from home during Christmas break. What a cozy cabin during the winter, so peaceful! The fireplace was relaxing and the lights on the railing very pretty. The owners also left some cross country skis for us to use which was very nice! We would definitely rent again and maybe have friends or family stay in the cabin next door. Thanks Emily for answering any questions we had, much appreciated!

The property is in a perfect location- wooded with a sandy beach and close to town and many hiking trails! Emily was so helpful in providing hiking recommendations and the hospitality was wonderful.

Second trip was a blast!

This was our second summer trip to this cabin and everything was as we remembered it. Lots of fun memories made on the kayaks and off the dock, a fun day trip to Duluth, campfire, fishing...our kids (1st grade and pre-k) love it here! Looking forward to 2021 visit already!

Our third stay and it’s always wonderful. Everything you need and nothing you don’t—the peninsula is gorgeous and the kids love that there’s multiple places to place and enjoy the lake. Cabin is clean and organized and cozy. Perfect.

Great weekend

Our group of guys had a great weekend fishing on the lake. We caught enough fish to clean and eat. The cabin had everything we needed and enough room for all four of us. The lake was perfect for fishing and would have been great for swimming if the weather was a little warmer. We would definitely recommend this to others!

About the host

Hosted by Emily Bujold

Host profile image
After living in afar in Australia, Micronesia, and Japan and nearby in Wisconsin and Minneapolis, in busy urban centers and quietly afloat in the Pacific, the water was our grounding, our inspiration, and our source of renewal. Shortly after starting our family we began our mission to find a place on the water. After extensive searching, we realized it was just a short paddle across the lake from James’ childhood home here on Prairie Lake. We invite you to share this special place with us and soak up all the goodness the Northwoods has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love how close we are to everything while still feeling away from it all. We have lakeshore in all directions, access to water that beckons adventure throughout the seasons, a humbling connection with the wildlife, and a peaceful place to spend time with friends and family.

We're just five miles from shops and dining in downtown Grand Rapids to the south and less than 10 miles from the National Forest to the north. Entrance to the Taconite Trail and Mesabi Trail, one of the longest paved trails in the nation, is less than two miles away. Access to numerous, well-maintained cross-country ski trails within 15 minutes. Direct access to the nearest snowmobile trail via the lake. The bait shop, convenience store and public boat access are just a half mile away.

What makes this property unique

Prairie Lake is a calm lake with little boat traffic. It really is a treasure for paddle sports, fishing, sunset pontoon rides and other passive activities, with quiet shorelines and places for exploration, such as small bays and The Gorge. And when you do want to get out water skiing, you have the place to yourself.
