This private peninsula has been a Northwoods getaway for the past 75 years, formerly as a resort and now as a unique collection of just three cabins. This listing is for Cabin #2, a lofted cabin that sits right along the waterfront.

Each cabin has it's own firepit, picnic table, grill, and Adirondack chairs. The 6-person barrel sauna, kayaks, and all other outdoor spaces are shared among all guests.

We're just 15 mins. from Downtown, Mt. Itasca, Tioga MTB Trails, and the Chippewa Nat'l Forest.

The space
Cabin 2 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. 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.

Property Amenities
⇸ Kayaks, paddleboards, & canoes
⇸ Wood-fired cedar barrel sauna
⇸ Fire pits (firewood available on site)
⇸ Picnic table
⇸ Dock space for boats

Where I went to school: University of Wisconsin-Madison
My work: Graphic Designer
Hi, I'm Emily! Until moving to northern MN, I worked as a landscape architect in the USA, Australia, and Pacific Islands. Now I focus on creating a great experience for my guests and designing locally. I love adventures big and small, from sailing to remote islands to jumping in the lake in November. I believe in thoughtful living and I try to reflect that approach in the places we share.
