Our little peninsula has been a Northwoods getaway for the past century. Formerly Mallard Point Resort, we're keeping the tradition alive by welcoming guests at two of the cabins. This is a place where you can expect to see other guests and share outdoor spaces. The owners currently live on the property part-time, although you can have the place to yourself if you rent both cabins. We're less than 10 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from Tioga MTB trails. This listing is for Cabin 1 only. 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. ⇸ Kitchen stocked with all the essentials ⇸ Quality king-sized bed in the loft ⇸ Fully winterized with a gas fireplace. ⇸ We allow families of 5 if you have a child in a travel crib. ⇸ Fast WiFi 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. You can expect to see other guests or our family enjoying the beach, grilling out, or fishing on the dock. You'll also likely see otters, beavers, loons, and eagles just outside your door. Prairie Lake is quiet and has little boat traffic and a picturesque gorge at the southern end. The water is shallow and gradual along our little sand beach for small children to play.
