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. Be sure to check out our calendar of events for all the scheduled activities at our bed and breakfast Inn now through December 31st.

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.
