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.

Cabin 2: Main floor bedroom- 2 Twin beds, Loft Bedroom- King bed, 1 Bathroom
Cabin 3: Primary bedroom- King bed, Secondary bedroom- 2 Queen beds, 1 Bathroom

Prairie Lake is relatively quiet and has little boat traffic, perfect for paddling and fishing. Visit the rocky gorge, reminiscent of the Boundary Waters, at the south end of the lake, take in sunrises on the dock, and enjoy listening to the loons sing. The water is shallow and gradual along our little sand beach, perfect for small children to splash and build sand castles.

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 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.
