Tonight as I am bundled in a cozy blanket and enjoying a steaming cup of peppermint tea I can hear the wind outside rustling through the leaves. The air is crisp and the trees are turning crimson red and bright yellow ~ fall is here!
I am excited for our new fall wood fire dinner that runs every Thursday throught Sunday night. To get an idea of the grounds and outdoor fire pit click here to watch a short video.
Be sure to bring your camera as the sunsets are magnificent over Green Lake. John Spicer, who built this grand lake home in 1895 selected this spot for the sunsets and during the autumn season when the moon is full the reflection on the water it is truly transpiring. If you or someone special in your life is celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion or perhaps you are looking for a romantic getaway or fun girls night out our Fall Wood Fire Dinner is just for you.
I hope that you will be able to join us for a fun and exciting evening with great food, fellowship and a laugh or two. Click here to purchase tickets with or without lodging, or call 1-800-821-6675 and we will be happy to assist you.

We are excited to announce our new fall Spicer Castle Inn Fall Wood Fire Dinners. You can make your reservation just for dinner or if you are looking for a fun getaway include a night or two at our historic bed and breakfast Inn along the shores of beautiful Green Lake. The colors are just starting to show their autumn splendor – now is a great time to visit our Inn and enjoy the outdoors.
Fall is a beautiful season and the splendor of the sunsets across Green Lake was the reason John Spicer selected this location to build his lake home. There are 18 guestrooms, several with double whirlpool tubs and showers, fireplaces, coffeemakers, refirgerators and microwaves. Afternoon tea and a four-course breakfast are included with your stay.
Click here to read the menu and purchase tickets or packages with lodging rooms.
Lodging Special for any guestroom (excluding John’s Cottage and Raymond’s Cabin). Enjoy relaxing in a double whirlpool while you watch the flames dance in the fireplace.
Looking for some laughs and great food? Than our murder mystery dinner is just the ticket held Friday and Saturday or reserve your murder mystery lunch or dinner with a minimum of 8 guests any day of the week.
Looking for something to do? Go biking or walking on the paved trails, don’t want to bring your bike, rent one at the nearby Spicer Bike & Sports. Visit Sibley State Park or try your luck at mini golf at the Big Kahuna Fun Park. Sit by the shore and read a good book, check out the local Glacial Ridge Winery, go canoeing along the shore of Green Lake, try your luck at shore fishing, shop at the nearby stores or catch a movie at the Twin Spin Cinema to name a few of the many things to do in our area.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Spicer Castle Inn.

As an innkeeper one of the most rewarding experiences is knowing that we provide a place where our guests can meet new friends, enjoy great food, laugh, make smores at the firepit, read a book or put a puzzle together and walk the paths and view the spectacular fall colors. Below are a couple of comments from our guests:
“The entire staff here does such a super job! Everyone tended to anything we wanted/needed and they ALWAYS did it with a smile! Thanks for going the extra mile and making a coconut cream pie to surprise my husband. Please commend your entire staff. Hope to see you soon!” Yvonne
“The food is amazing. I did not expect gourmet food. The room was very well taken care of and the staff has been very hospitable. We will be back.” John & Diane
Are you ready to experience a relaxing and memorable weekend? If so, we hope you will head to Spicer Castle Inn where we look forward to welcoming you to Minnesota’s beautiful central lakes region. (more…)
