Spicer, Minnesota
Welcome to the North Shore Retreat, Green Lakes most coveted vacation home. This well-appointed lakefront home is ideal for a relaxing getaway. Dock your pontoon at our lift, take in the lake views from the hot tub, relax by the lakeside bonfire, or watch the boaters pass as you enjoy a home-cooked meal from the screened in porch. There's a reason the calendar books so far in advance, and we hope you have the chance to experience this destination home for yourself.
☆☆THE BACKYARD☆☆
Experience lakeside luxury unlike any other. Admire sweeping lake views from the spacious outdoor seating area, soak in the brand-new hot tub as evening descends, and gather around the fire pit by the water's edge. We offer an ideal spot for launching paddle boards or kayaks, which are available for your use. Please note: the dock is not available this season.
☆☆KITCHEN/DINING☆☆
The elegant kitchen, adorned with granite countertops and modern stainless appliances, is generously equipped. While we've endeavored to think of every detail, you'll notably find coffee options (both K-cups and ground). We've furnished an ample supply of plates, glassware, serving bowls, and storage essentials, not to forget a range of spices and other kitchen necessities. Our spacious dining table comfortably accommodates 8 with its wrap-around seating. It's the perfect space to enjoy a delicious Belgium waffle hot off the waffle maker that we provide (and of course we have Nutella on hand for you!). However, the true dining delight might be the expansive table situated in our screened 3-season porch. Illuminate the space with string lights, embrace the serene lake vistas, and relish your meal.
☆☆MASTER BEDROOM☆☆
The master suite enjoys a secluded area within the house. Boasting high vaulted ceilings and a picturesque lake view, it features a spacious walk-in closet, along with an individual shower and a jetted bathtub. Ample drawer room is complemented by a dedicated makeup station with a blow dryer. Every bedroom is equipped with a sound machine, a mobile fan, hangers, and supplementary blankets. Additionally, USB charging ports are a standard feature in all bedside lamps.
☆☆ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS☆☆
In the lower level, you'll discover bedrooms two and three. Bedroom two offers a cozy queen bed, while bedroom three is equipped with a bunk bed, featuring a full-size bed on the bottom and a twin-size bed on top. Additionally, the family room on this level provides a comfortable queen sleeper sofa for a restful night's sleep. Plus, the entire lower level is kept comfortably warm with in-floor heating, ensuring a cozy and inviting atmosphere for all guests.
☆☆LIVING SPACES☆☆
Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a cozy spot by the fireplace in the main-level living room, perfect for relaxation. However, the true gem is the vaulted family room with an incredibly comfortable sectional and a brand-new queen size sleeper sofa from Crate & Barrel. This space also features a large flat-screen TV equipped with Roku, which is ready for you to use in guest mode. Just set your check-out date, and it will automatically sign you out of your streaming services.
For the kids, there's a delightful reading nook, although it seems to have transformed into more of an iPad nook these days. If you need to get some work done during your getaway, there's a convenient desk with a laptop USB-C charger ready for you. Plus, with high-speed Spectrum internet, you'll have no trouble working or streaming content seamlessly.
☆☆TRAVELLING WITH LITTLE ONES☆☆
We've got your needs covered with convenient storage locations in our home. Under the basement stairs, you'll find baby gates (2), a highchair (1), a booster seat (1), and a pack-n-play (1) readily available. In the kitchen, we have sippy cups, forks, spoons, cups, and plates. For entertainment, there are toys and games tucked away under the reading nook in the living room. And don't forget the laundry room, stocked with detergent, bleach, and fabric sheets, because, well, kids can be quite messy.
☆☆PETS☆☆
We welcome a maximum of two dogs (no other pets permitted) with a non-refundable pet fee of $100. Guests are kindly asked to clean up after their pets and are responsible for any pet-related damages. Additionally, we request that guests ensure their muddy or wet dogs are cleaned and dried before entering the home.
While we warmly welcome gatherings of up to 8 people, please be aware that this is not a party-friendly home. Any guests found to be in violation of our house rules will be promptly asked to depart, and refunds will not be provided.
Given the rocky terrain of the shoreline, it's advisable to wear water shoes.
Our family stayed over Thanksgiving and the house was perfect for our needs. It was well stocked with all the supplies one would need and plenty of room for the kids to roam. The sunrise/sunset from the back windows over the lake were beautiful. The house would also be a great summer rental with paddleboards, kayaks, and water floats available to the guests. We were very happy with our choice to stay here for our Thanksgiving.
Beautiful property with a great layout.
Everything was thoughtfully considered when they remodeled this place! We ate in every night and never needed anything the kitchen didn't provide. Grill worked great, too. Home was spotless and even more beautiful in person. The screened porch was amazing and so was the family room. Do not hesitate to book this place, you'll be thrilled you did! We'll definitely be back!
The stay was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. The communication with Brad was timely, courteous, and accurate. Thank you!
My family just stayed here for 4 nights and it was perfect! It’s only 2 hours from Minneapolis and a hidden gem. The property is amazing both inside and outside. The home is large with 2 living rooms, large bedrooms and bathrooms and a beautiful kitchen/screened in porch. The outside has a lovely view of Green Lake, a nice dock, fire pit, and a hot tub. We had so much fun kayaking in the mornings when the lake was calm and quiet. We spent lots of time in the screened porch hanging out and enjoying the view. This property is very close to spicer which has some fun restaurants for the family. It’s also close to a nice trail for biking and running. Brad was a wonderful host and was very responsive. It’s obvious how much pride the owners take in this lovely property. We will definitely be back next summer! I would give more than 5 stars if it was an option!
Amazing property and had all the amenities you will ever need would recommend to everyone!
Nothing short of amazing! The house is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we needed. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and fishing off of the dock. We ate every meal on the screened in porch…ended our nights with s’mores in the fire pit and a dip in the hot tub. We will be back!
