"We have stayed in quite a few bed and breakfast inns, and what sets one apart from another, for me, are the "extras" and the personal touches. Spicer Castle has that."

Spicer, MN ~ Fourth of July celebration at Spicer Castle Inn

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

It’s finally here – the Fourth of July Celebration!  For me this brings back memories from my childhood of the Spicer Parade and all the festivities during the day with the spectacular fireworks over beautiful Green Lake at dusk.  Equally important is to give thanks to those brave people who serve in our armed forces and their families.

If you have never been to Spicer over the Fourth of July - then this is your year!  Afterall you made it through another Minnesota winter and you deserve a fun getaway in the summer sun.Spicer Castle Inn overlooking beautiful Green Lake

Spicer Castle Inn on beautiful Green LakeSummer Mid-Week Special

Summer is here – now is the time to slip on your sandals and get out the sunscreen.  Whether you enjoy the indoors or outdoors, Spicer Castle Inn is your summer destination get-away.  Mid-week travelers (Sunday through Thursday night) can save  20% on a two-night stay at our Inn. 

While at Spicer Castle enjoy a glass of lemonade while you relax overlooking beautiful Green Lake, dine aboard the Spicer Castle Belle as you enjoy a 2.5 hour tour of Green Lake, laugh out loud at our humorous five course murder mystery dinner, go biking on the paved biking trails, canoe by the Inn, try your luck at fishing from shore, take a hike, go sunbatheing at the beach, sit by the bonfire while you make smores and count lightning bugs, put a puzzle together or play a board game while you reconnect with that special someone in your life.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Inn on beautiful Green Lake this summer!

Spicer, MN ~ Spicer Castle Inn Baby Shower

Monday, June 1st, 2009

We are so fortunate to have a wonderful staff that works hard to make sure each guest is met with our gracious hospitality, clean and cozy guestrooms along with wonderful food.  So when one of our employees is expecting her first baby in a few months, it was the perfect time to host a baby shower with her family and friends.

I decided to decorate a carrot cake (her favorite flavor) with fondant babies.  By the color of the cake, I bet you can guess the sex of her new arrival.

I hope that you will consider our historic Inn on beautiful Green Lake when you have a special occassion in your family or work place.  It would be fun to create a special cake just for you.Baby Shower Cake

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Fun. Laughter & Great Food!Summer’s coming and now is the time to enjoy the warm weather at our Historic B&B on beautiful Green Lake.  Experience an evening filled with laughter and great food in one of our hilarious murder mystery dinners

Here is a list of a few things to do while visiting our historic bed and breakfast Inn.  Relax in a double whirlpool tub or read a good book.  Play a board game, cards or put a puzzle together. Use our complimentary canoe to paddle around in the water and catch a glimpse at the fish or loons.  Take a hike or go bike riding on one of the many paved trails  and catch the sweet fragrance of the lilacs and honeysuckle.  Or do absolutely nothing and enjoy our lake country setting.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Spicer Castle Inn!
