About this property

Grassy Knoll Retreat on the Big Spirit Lake
This beautifully appointed cottage is perched on grassy knolls that gently slope toward your very own 50 feet of Big Spirit Lake shoreline! The home is lovingly designed for your multigenerational family get together! Perfect for families with small children that want to be lakefront but not on top of the shoreline. The primary suite is tucked away for solitude and has a private bathroom and entrance. Two additional bedrooms on the main floor provide comfortable and fun atmospheres. This five-bedroom home can accommodate 12 in the bedroom suites with room for 2 to 4 more guests on new sleeper sofas (located in the main level living room) or cots. (PLUS a babytrend nursery center including bassinet, playpen, and changing table is tucked away in the primary suite for your littlest one!) Two more bathrooms provide enough space for everyone. The two lower level bedrooms (with plenty of natural light) both provide a twin over full bunk bed. Family and friends will enjoy the open living room with great views of the Lake. The sun rises over the lake and your east-facing view gives you first glance at God’s glorious morning show while you enjoy fresh coffee on the patio or in the sunroom!
The shoreline has lots of room for lounging by the water and a canoe and kayaks are provided for those who want to get out and experience the great expanse known as Big Spirit Lake! Tall oak trees provide a beautiful, shaded yard free from the fierce summer sun for games, picnics, horseshoes and wiggling your toes in the soft bluegrass. This home is located on the southwest side of the lake with five minute access to shopping, dining, and the lively activities of Spirit Lake, Arnolds Park, and Okoboji.
When you are done enjoying the evening sounds of the lake and crackling fires around the fire pit, retreat indoors to the well-stocked game room or your bedroom with its own TV. The home provides free Wi Fi, so bring your passwords for Netflix & YouTube TV to relax after dark!
This lakeside retreat blends classic charm with modern convenience and promises an unforgettable place to make cherished memories with your family and friends. Enjoy private accommodations, parking, stocked games and a second refrigerator for your beverages/extra groceries and water. The kitchen is equipped for 16 guests, and includes a Keurig single and full coffee pot, blender, crockpots, and all the pots, pans and utensils needed for you to prepare great meals. A dishwasher, washer and dryer complete the amenities for a comfortable stay. Come and spend the week --- and you’ll want to secure your spot again for the following season!
There is parking space for up to 4+ vehicles in the driveway and 2 additional spaces on the side.
