About this property

Multi-Family Lakeside Retreat

Formerly Mallard Point Resort, this little peninsula on Prairie Lake has been a Northwoods getaway for the 75 years. We're keeping the tradition alive by welcoming you to make this your very own group retreat. The property includes three cabins each with their own kitchen and dining spaces. The main cabin has a large deck with a dining and lounge space. The cabins are outfitted with modern comforts like WiFi and quality mattresses, but we're still cherishing our vintage resort roots. If you're looking for that up north, cozy, family cabin feeling, we think you'll like it here.

The water is shallow and gradual along our little sand beach, perfect for small children to splash and build sand castles.

This resort was very close to Grand Rapids. Had nice beds and good beach for the kids! The living and dining room works for a few sitting down but we made it work for 8 adults. Shower/bathroom nice size and updated nicely!!

Great Venue for multiple families or couples

We rented both cabins for our family vacation and we’re so pleased. Since we had young grandchildren they could go easily between cabins, we could use a fire pit nearby when they slept or the larger when all together. Best part was having the whole place to ourselves with plenty to do: swimming, great sand beach, fish, kayak and plenty of room to run or play lawn games. The hosts, Emily and James are wonderful

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 to explore and admire in all directions, ultimate 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.
