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.

Was a great property! Super well stocked with everything we needed!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The house was spacious and a good location right on the lake! We brought up two pontoons so having the dock worked perfect. Very comfortable for sleeping and had plenty of different options to hang out at the house. If you wanted to relax and watch tv, play yard games in the front or back, or just hang out in the garage. Was a great experience!

The property is beautiful with absolutely gorgeous views! There was plenty of space and sleeping arrangements. We particularly enjoyed being able to section off part off the house for when some people went to bed early but others were up later! Our whole family has already talked about coming back to this property again!

My husband and I have been gifting our adult children a VRBO stay to a location of their choice. Everyone has to get there on their own. We all take responsibility of sharing the meal preparation while we are there. And then we all gather and let the memories start happening. A lot of games being played, puzzles being put together and precious time being spent with each other with no outside responsibilities interfering. Relaxed downtime!! Favorite week of the year!!! The VRBO had enough space for the 14 of us. We brought our boat and with the dock right out front was so nice. My son and several grandsons fished right off the dock and did catch some fish. The kayaks provided by the Property owner was a big bonus. The ping pong table was also a lot of fun. We were also so pleased that there was a grill there to use. Fun and special memories were enjoyed by everyone.
