Up North Majestic Pines Retreat Lodge on Mary Lake, Emily MN

Get away, relax, and unwind at this large yet cozy lakefront cabin on Lake Mary, MN. The lodge is the perfect place to connect with nature, reconnect with friends and family, and enjoy all that "Up North" has to offer. Sip a cup of coffee while overlooking the lake from the loft- enjoy a dip in the hot tub after a long day of trail riding- pack up the pontoon for a fun family day on the lake- warm your frozen toes by one of the two fireplaces after a catching your limit...the choices are endless.

If you're looking for more excitement outside of the cabin, the town of Emily is less than 5 minutes away. There you can find a local watering hole, a quick bite to eat, trails for hiking, or local activities planned throughout the year. For boutique shopping and additional activities, Crosslake is a quick 20-minute drive. Antique lovers will find hidden treasures in Crosby. There is truly something for everyone while staying at the lodge!

From Memorial Day thru Labor Day the cabin is rented from FRIDAY to FRIDAY. Email us now and reserve the best weeks.

Perfect Family Get Away

There is something for everyone here! We had kids from just 5 months old to 15 years old. The younger kids loved all the toys and paying in the loft. And the older kids loved being able to have their own space in the basement.

Family getaway

The house was very spacious! We really enjoyed it. The lake was great not real busy and theres a channel that connects to another lake also. Kids caught fish off the end of the dock. It was a great place to stay with 10 plus people and kids. We had a blast. Would definitely stay again!

Great family retreat and location

Wonderful location for our family vacation with our adult children/spouses with plenty of room for everyone. Hot tub needed chemicals midweek, dishwasher didn’t always clean first time (normally not an issue, but we really never left house due to COVID so a lot of cooking and looking forward to hot tub). Unexpected snow and cold for October changed our hiking plans- but loved the space and outstanding lake view while playing cards and games. Will go back for sure!

It is an absolutely gorgeous lake home! Well maintained home, beautifully furnished, very spacious. The kids enjoyed the paddle boat, kayaking, swimming! We all loved taking pontoon rides, fishing, playing pool and soaking in the hot tub. There was so much to do inside and out! We were also there to celebrate a milestone birthday and it was the perfect spot! Tim was very responsive and easy to work with. We even enjoyed watching fireworks which were over the lake and were able to watch the from the comfort of the dining room !!! Loved it !!!

Vacation trip

We were very pleased with the up keep and maintenance of the property. Very nice upgrades to the home and never a dull moment. Provided many in house entertainment ideas. Fun for the whole family. Kayaks and paddle boat were fun. Loved the book of information for what area we were in. If I were to changed anything, it would be the water pressure but overall a great weekend and will visit again.

Big beautiful cabin in great location

The cabin was perfect for our three families and grandma. Each couple had a bedroom, grandma got the master suite on the main floor, and all the grandkids had a bed in the loft area. We enjoyed all the extra amenities including the hot tub on the deck, kayaks, paddle boat, pool table, and games in the garage. We loved the location close to the 4 wheeling trails and went riding everyday. The lake is clean and quiet with a nice sandy beach. We even caught enough fish for a big fish fry at the end of our week (mostly northerns). The new property owner was a great communicator. We look forward to our next visit.

lovely cabin

I stayed at this cabin with a group - a mix of couples & friends. We enjoyed the layout, plenty of common room space as well as 4 comfy bedrooms and 4.5 baths. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for the group. We liked the entertainment options - hot tub, pool table, games, walk-out beach, kids play set/toys, and, smart TV in the basement. It was a short drive to town for things we forgot. We had a few maintenance issues during the stay - (1) one fireplace wasn’t working which we were told at check in, (2) the other fireplace we couldn’t get working, and, (3) a light/fan was out in the vaulted in the great room. I would guess the host will fix these after the holiday.

Bats, broken furniture, no water pressure

Nice location, poor communication. Broken couch and fireplace. No water from two faucets. Bats in the walls that I guess the owner already knew about but we’re still there. Couldn’t sleep in one room from all the noise from the bats. VRBO support was also awful!

Spacious home with lots of activities

We stayed a week with our 3 generation family of 10. Lots of sleeping spaces with privacy, and 4 bathrooms were more than enough. Kept everyone from age 8 to 72 happy and busy with hot tub, pontoon, kayaks, pool table and TVs. Spacious kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking equipment, plenty of prep and storage area for food. Outdoors in included large yard for the kids and dogs, an immense deck overlooking sunset on the lake and a fire pit with wood supplied. Garage to store all our bikes had darts and a pop-a-shot basketball game as well as a gas grill and 2 additional fridges with freezers. One minor complaint was the master suite could use a chest of drawers, so one couple needs to be prepared for using a suitcase. We would happily return in the future. The host Tim was very responsive whenever we had a question about anything.

Girls weekend

This was the perfect place for a girls weekend with 12 of us- plenty of beds and great location. Had everything we needed. There were only a couple things of concern. There were pieces of glass on the sand. In the main bedroom laundry, there were towels that were clearly previously wet/washed that hadn’t been dried that were hanging out of the washing machine. It made me worried that there wasn’t a thorough clean/check if that was missed. There was the fluttering/scratching sound of bats up in the rafters above the loft. Other than these three things, everything else was perfect. Loved the hot tub and we had a lot of fun

Nice family stay

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. But generally this home could be great with some tender loving care. The bathroom door downstairs doesn’t close all the way (the door doesn’t fit into the frame), dishes in the cupboards not totally clean, missing directions to use the TV (there was 9 remotes), and the house just needs a thorough DEEP clean. The kitchen table is extremely sticky and I’m assuming it’s because of the cleaners used and it has worn through the finish of the table. I don’t want anyone to think this house wasn’t nice. We had a good experience, but it would be a GREAT experience by doing just a few things. It would also be appreciated to update the website as to what is at the house vs what isn’t. A pizza cutter should be a necessity I would think. Thank you for providing your home for our use!
