Welcome to

Mallard Point

Grand Rapids, Minnesota

A private peninsula made for group getaways

Mallard Point is a vintage resort turned group getaway on a private peninsula. During it’s heyday as a resort the 1950s, this was a place for making Summer memories Up North. Today, we’re continuing the time-honored cabin tradition all year long at this special gathering place along the shores of Prairie Lake. With three cabins, over 1200 feet of private lakeshore, and unforgettable views, we invite you to bring the whole crew.

Mallard Point is a private 2 acre peninsula on the shores of Prairie Lake. With three cabins and space for up to 14 guests, it’s the perfect set up for a friends weekend, an extended family getaway, or hosting a small retreat.

Marching in spirit with our Minneapolis neighbors. If you think this is anti-immigration vs immigration supporters, it’s far more complicated than that. Please take the time to read about how this enforcement is being done in MN and its effects
It was a double-sauna Sunday. Sauna and cold plunge is an exercise in juxtaposition - hot + cold, physical + mental, calm + exertion, social + looking inward. The heat, the frigid lake water, the sunset, it was truly a perfect day. Thanks to everyone
Epic light show last night. Heard there might be an encore tonight.
Paco’s Room - love the pop of 🔥 pink he adds. Original art by @hannabargerphoto from the expertly curated @doverstreetcollectedhome in my bustling lil’ hometown of Princeton, WI.
Sauna season is here and we have last minute openings and discounts when you reserve the whole place. Take some time to yourself or bring the whole crew.
Soaking up the last few days of Summer ✨ and enjoying these long sunrises and sunsets.
*Last minute opening for your group - June 10 to 14* Come take over The Point and kick off Summer with sun, fun, and sauna. Bring your friends or fam and we’ve got the rest.
