About this property
Mallard Point - Cabin 1
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 1.
Cabin 1 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.

⇸ 2 paddleboards
⇸ 2 canoes
⇸ Maui Mat
⇸ Boat trailer parking
⇸ Dock space for boats
⇸ Fire pits (firewood included)
⇸ Lawn chairs

⇸ Lawn games
⇸ Roku TV (streaming only, no basic service)

About the host
Hosted by Emily Bujold
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.
