Welcome to the Sandy Beach Retreat, located at 13130 Templar Park N, Spirit Lake, this home will host large family gatherings on the southwest shores of Big Spirit Lake. Big Spirit Lake is not attached to East or West Lake and more suited for swimming, kayaking, and boating fun. This home has a great layout with two separate spaces connected. Guests will love the A frame fishing/hunting cabin style decor on the north side of the property and the south side is a beautiful traditional nautical lake home.

The A Frame cabin has an attached two car garage with pin pong table, grill with griddle, fun outdoor toys and solid two-story windows looking to the lake. One private bedroom with Queen bed, bathroom with tiled shower, and cute kitchenette. Looking out to the lake is a dining area and large common area space that could sleep more travelers. Upstairs in the loft you will find additional semi-private sleeping space with one queen size bed and two twin beds.

The south side of the property is a beautiful lake home with three private sleeping spaces. Master bedroom with King size bed, on-suite bath with tub, TV, double closets and views of the lake from bed. The second guest room has a queen bed, TV, and large window. The third place has a full over full bunk bed. The common living area has a pull-out couch that sleeps two and total seating for eight guests. Large dining room table, countertop bar seating, and breakfast nook table for quick meals. Kitchen has granite countertops, great entertaining space, and any kitchen gadget you could desire. While in the insides of the property are super for large family vacations the best space is the amazing lake frontage.

Almost 70 feet of sand beach and swimmable waters. Expansive docking system and swimming area. Great fishing right off the dock with custom fishing chairs that spin out over the water. Come watch the sunrise from the lakefront deck and the sunset from the string lit patio on beautiful Big Spirit Lake.

The property was excellent, we all enjoyed our stay. My grandson was excited that he could fish off the dock he caught a couple of fish and returned them to the lake. Everything was so well organized. We had a great time and recommend this property very highly!

This property is fantastic! I love the two living areas. Bedrooms and common areas perfect for 16 people! The dock, kayaks and lilypad were unexpected and definitely were highlights!
