Spicer Castle

We arrived later in the evening at the location because we were visiting family in the area. We really didn't allow ourselves enough time to truly enjoy the Spicer Castle. We stayed in the Mason room, which is typical of a bedroom in an old house. Breakfast was the only meal we had at the Castle. The food was good and the wait staff did an excellent job. During breakfast a history presentation of the Castle was given by a family member! We both found it very interesting and felt it was the highlight of our visit. We hope to return and stay in one of the cabins.

Enjoyed our visit there - great location on the lake, our room was very comfortable and all of the employees we encountered were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely go again.

Reservations were easily made; we enjoyed tea and cribbage upon arrival; my wife and I enjoyed the murder mystery supper. We had Mason's room, enjoyed the history of the Spicer Castle. it is an older building with ambiance. After our visit we enjoyed the drive around Green Lake, and visiting local antique stores.

This was a very nice bed & breakfast experience! The cuisine was excellent and it clearly showed the chef and staff take pride in their craft. I enjoyed the murder mystery, it was my first experience but easy to follow along and people really enjoyed their parts. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to meet Mr. Latham, the grandson of the Spicer family, who helps bring the history alive to the home. My one concern is the snow/ice on the grounds. If you're dressed up, it's easy to go for a ride.

We enjoyed our stay and the friendly staff. We appreciated hearing the history of the house. With a mild winter, our hopes for skiing and snowmobiling were not possible. For breakfast, we enjoyed sharing our table and conversation with another couple.

I booked a long weekend for my husband and me to celebrate his birthday, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The room was slightly shabbier than I expected from seeing the website, but it was clean, everything worked, and there was an abundance of hot water. The food was the star, though. In addition to the ample and elegant breakfasts, we also ate dinner there one night and our meals were superb. Overall, we had a lovely, romantic time and would go back again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the castle! we had the "swinging" bed of eunice's room. Other than the heater was a little funky when we got there, Allen helped get it going!! The murder mystery dinner sounded like a blast and we can't wait to come back this summer and take a dinner cruise and stay in another room!!

WONDERFUL food, and learned interesting info about the house, family, and area of Spicer!

My husband and I had never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before so we weren't sure what to expect. It turned out to be wonderful! My husband travels for work and can be gone for months at a time and this was the perfect romantic get away for us. Everthing was taken care of. The rooms are small (the bathrom had us in fits and giggles)and the stairs for the loft bedroom are steep, but it made it that much more fun and romantic. The staff was very friendly and anything we asked for they were able to provide extra rolls, butter, soap, you name it! Their lemon and verbena soap was so delicious smelling I washed my hands more than any normal person ever should. The food was scrumptiouos and there was more than enough for both myself and my husband. We had afternoon tea, candlelit dinner for two, and breakfast. By the time we came for breakfast we couldn't imagine how we could possibly eat another bite. I came across a package deal and we were there mid week of December . If you get a chance to do it that way I recommend it. We cuddled up in Christopher's room, ate too much, laughed a lot, enjoyed each others company and I look forward to doing it again.

The room was okay but the dinner was ruined because the ribs were not cooked correctly.

Stayed in "John's Cabin" - a delightful and fun place. No it is not fancy - no it is not full of modern amenities - but if that is what you are looking for then you are probably not a B&B type person. Most all comments are positive - the room, the breakfast, the grounds and the location are very nice. This is a family run business and the breakfast crew were terrific! and fun!. The rest of the staff are helpful but not overbearing - a good thing to me. AVOID the evening meal if they are having a large group in that night - that was a bad experience and completely turned us off from taking the evening meals there or attending the murder mystery offering - didn't want ANYTHING to do with that group again! The food was decent (nothing to brag about for sure) and the service was shockingly bad and rude - we were an inconvience to them that night at best, and they made it clear they wanted us out of the way to make room for their large party.... not fun! Bottom line - enjoy the location, don't miss breakfast, expect to be "on your own", avoid the place for dinner. We had planned on attending the murder mystery offering but the evening staff was so rude we chose to skip that event - might have been a great show don't know - Only regret is having dinner there....

We stayed here with a living social deal. We were put up in one of the out buildings. It was a nice little room, with a queen bed, over-sized double tub, and a sink. Not thinking about it, I opened the little door by the entrance expecting to see a spot to hang a coat. Instead, I found the toilet. The wall in front of the toilet was a mere 6" or less away. My wife lay on the bed laughing hysterically at me, while I grumbled about my business. When her turn came, she realized I wasn't over-exaggerating. She's 5'2" and about 130, Not a large woman. Even she couldn't sit facing front, but had to sit sideways. We had an appointment in the morning, so couldn't stay for breakfast, but one of the attendants put together a delicious muffin and fruit bowl for us. I generally am forthcoming to management about things that could be improved, but with the toilet, I figure this is a no brainer and didn't say anything. If planning on a visit, ensure you get a room with a usable toilet!

Food was good, the cabin could have been a bit cleaner.

I took my mother to Spicer Castle for the murder mystery dinner in honor of her 60th birthday. We stayed in Frances' room and it was lovely. Very cozy and clean. The staff was friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The murder mystery- while a bit disorganized due to the fact that 14 strangers were attempting to act out an improv skit while trying to solve the game- was a good time. I do wish there had been a type of intermission during the dinner seeing as though it was over 3 hours long and I felt unable to leave to use the restroom because I was constantly part of the action (as were all the characters). The dinner served wasn't very impressive and I was disappointed in that; however, the breakfast the following morning was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to Allen, the great-grandson of John Spicer, tell stories from his childhood.

The Murder Mystery Dinner was a lot of fun. We would recommend this to anyone that wants some fun entertainment. The B&B itself was ok.

We had a good time with the Murder mystery and the room was fun (Swinging bed). Bathroom was very petite. They do a good job trying to balance the maintenance of the house keeping in mind the house is historic.

The food at the Spicer Castle was the best tasting food that I have ever had while on a vacation. Each meal not only tasted phenomenal but it was pleasing to the eyes as well.

we stayed in Johns cottage and it was cute and charming and the food was excellent and the servers were great - they really made us feel welcomed:)

This was a great little getaway. Saw a last minute deal for over the Labor Day holiday, and we took advantage of the special. We even arrived later than we anticipated, and they saved our dinner reservation for us. The service was fabulous! The food was great. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. The only drawback was that the fireplace in our room didn't work. Definitely will go back, but will select a different room next time.

Very unique B & B, nice location and story to the property. Food was outstanding, as they also serve dinner. Wide variety of "types' of rooms, cabins, themes to choose from. Enjoyed our stay.

Spicer Inn is nestled among beautiful trees and the lake setting is gorgeous. But it goes downhill from there as it appears that little has been done to maintain this Inn for quite some time. We stayed in the Raymond Cottage. The sheets appeared to be clean. But that was about it. The windows were covered with cobwebs, the tablecloth was dirty, part of the ceiling was falling down, the couch had holes and the stuffing was coming out. The bathroom was almost unusable. Breakfast was passable but took over an hour to be completed. Regrettably, the picture perfect setting, does not trump its other problems and I don't recommend it. Spicer Castle is grossly overpriced and in woeful disrepair.

The room was small and they had forgot to empty the coffee maker which had mold in it. they were pleasant but a bit unorganized at the Inn.

I am in the hospitality industry. The food at the Spicer Castle was FABULOUS!!!

Pictures on website looked really nice, but was sadly disappointed when we walked into Raymonds cabin. Innkeeper had to force door open because of poor maintainence. Couch was worn out and threadbare, bathroom was TINY and looked unchanged from the 1950's, not to mention dirty, full of cobwebs and had rust in the painted steel shower surround. The second floor loft had less than five feet of headroom at the peak and the bed was just a mattress on a low plywood frame. We wound up staying in Johns cottage instead, but cut our stay there very short... The staff was polite, friendly and accomidating, but could not make up for the sub par lodging.

The Mystery dinner was excellent & The room was great:) Would visit again for a romantic evening!!

My husband & I, as well as, another couple stayed at Spicer Castle in order to get away for the w/e & see a local band we enjoy at a fun lakeside bar. I had heard about Spicer Castle on a local TV news spot & a coworker. We did not do a dinner cruise or murder mystery for this trip.

Spent the night and participated in the Murder Mystery Diner. Loads of fun especially if all involved get into their character. Lots of inuendo do dont recommend it for teens. Had a blast! Bed was comfy, rooms are cozy small- good for a coules getaway! Food was fantastic!

We stayed in John's Cottage the weekend of July 30, 2011. It was a very humid day, we were so pleased when we got to the cottage and the air was on for us! We quickly unpacked and then walked around the grounds and spent time relaxing by the lake. We enjoyed a wonderful supper in the dining room, and after supper we walked through the house, taking time to look at the many books in the living room and walking upstairs. After that we enjoyed sitting in front of Johns Cottage taking in a gorgeous sunset on Green Lake. We set out for a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and thats exactly what we found at Spicer Castle!! My husband and I will definately be back-thank you so much for the wonderful service!

This was my first experience at a Bed and Breakfast. We were looking for more things to do on the lake. The dinner cruise was wonderful!

I thought it was a nice place for an overnight. We stayed in the Jessie room which has a lovely view over the lake and a pretty seating area with a table which we enjoyed. We liked learning about the history of the building and the family and enjoyed the propietor who is a descendent of Mr Spicer. The food was also good. Although nice, the wait staff could improve their menu knowledge and service when respoding to customers' requests.

Our first B&B was a great one. We had a gift certificate and did not know what to expect. The service was great, very friendly staff and residents. Great restaurant near by and beautiful scenery. Room was clean and tidy. Quiet and nice just to get away from all the hustle and bustle. Our favorite was the four course breakfast. Healthy and delicious!

We stayed in John's Cabin and participated in the Murder Mystery Dinner. It was wonderful! The cottage was the perfect setting for a romantic evening with my husband, the fireplace and whirlpool tub were such a nice bonus! The Murder Mystery Dinner was so much fun, we had a wonderful group of people that made the evening so great!!! Met some great people who've become friends! Food was very good, and setting was perfect. Breakfast the next day was also very nice. Friendly staff, beautiful and peaceful setting. Would love to go back again!! Thank you again for the best birthday ever!! Leah and Josh Waterman, Apple Valley, MN

Built in early 1900's and not touched since. Very poorly maintained building. We enjoyed the mystery theatre and the dinner was delightful as was the morning breakfast.

Used a Groupon for a night at the inn and was greatly impressed. Food was awesome and the service was impeccable. Rooms were all gorgeous. The room that we were in (Russel's Room) was a little small, but that is to be expected based on the layout of the house and the time period that the house was built in. Had no issues with hot water being available. Window A/C was available in all units which was nice. The grounds of the estate were clean and well-kept. Firepits were available outside as well as a fireplace inside in the common area. Had a great view of Green Lake from the dining room. The entire lake has a very well kept walking/biking trail around it that is immediately accessible from the road outside the grounds. All-in-all the entire weeked was quite nice, it was a very good experience.

We just returned from our stay at your lovely "Castle", and I must say the main house and dining room are truly a memory. My husband and I have stayed at a number of Inns, and have also dined in many fine establishments, and I have to say I enjoyed the ambience of your lake surroundings, the historic furnishings of your inn and dining area, but there is room for improvement in the areas of the meals and service. The room we stayed in was lovely and quite clean, but the coffee maker was not cleaned and there were some ants crawling on the wall by the microwave. A more thorough check by the cleaners will rectify this: the waitress we had for our evening meal was the only one working, and she needed some help. She was quite terse and I can understand why. Also, the food we ate for dinner was only "average", although your menu selections were fine, you need exquisite attention paid to how your food is prepared and served. I would suggest mentioning this to your chef. Again, we would love to come and stay with you again, and offer these suggestions solely to improve the quality of your establishment. PS The lady who led us to our room was very pleasant and took time to welcome us. It only took a moment of her time, but left a lasting impression with us:)

I had a wonderful time at Spicer Castle. I wish I could have spent more time there. It was wonderful to meet new people during the social tea and coffee hours. The beautiful scenery that surrounded you was breathtaking. The lake was clear enough to see the fish. The murder mystery dinner was fantastic. All of us in costume and ready to play our roles. The food that was served during the stay was delicious. The owner taking time to give us the history was also pleasant. I was sad to leave.

atmosphere & food was very good, the staff was friendly & helpful, and the weather was very nice. stayed in the Curry Room. Tried to use the bathtub once, but there was not enough hot water to fill it (did not shower or fill the tub prior to using it). Did not try again the next day. The bed had a thick layer of foam on top of the mattress that was not comfortable. It was much too soft and seemed to make the bed feel warm (on a hot day).

From the moment we entered the driveway, it was pretty much disappointment after disappointment. Everything appeared to be in a state of disrepair. Driveway was rutted. Grounds were uninviting. The mansion itself seemed ok (we stayed in one of the private cottages), but there were flies in the dining room when we went for afternoon tea. Had to leave after 5 minutes! Ants in the cottage. Calcium deposits in the bathtub. Smoke smell in the room (no one had bothered to clean out the fireplace). What really convinced us that we would never come back is the lack of attention we received. Bed and breakfasts should be warm, inviting, cheery places. Spicer Castle offered none of this. Instead, the demeanor of management was along the lines of: oh, you're here, here's your room key. No special treatment or polite conversation. We were just another number. It's a shame. This place has a ton of potential. I wonder if it will ever be realized.

The room was smaller than we thought it would be but, it was clean and nice. The food was real good. We had prime rib, very tasty.

We stayed in Amy's room and the place was nice, but the rooms were very small and they needed work. They have a clawfoot tub in the room and the faucet of the tub had a constant drip which pretty much kept me awake all night. When we went to take a shower the next day, there was absolutely no water pressure. It was just a slow flow and it barely came out of the shower. We didn't get to stay for many of the activities because of our schedule, but they seemed to be nice. The lady at the counter the day we checked in was nice, but the day after a different lady was working and wasn't very friendly. We had to ask for a receipt since she didn't want to give one. All in all, the place was nice but I don't think we would go back. I think we're going to stick to our usual hotels.

Stayed in one of the "cottages" which are glorified sheds. First look at the place as we drove in was dominated by two giant dumpsters overflowing onto the ground. Ugly and SMELLY and the smell wafted down to our room. I can't believe they weren't mortified by the situation. No effort to correct it even after we asked about removal. The closet that housed the toilet was so small that my knees hit the wall - and I'm 5'7"! The stairs to the bedroom aren't stairs - it's a ladder. Overall, it's shabby and expensive. Don't go.

I have food allergies and they were wonderful at accomodating them. Would happily go here again!

Our room was very small. The bathroom was so small that I almost had to back in. Bathing in our tub caused water to run to the next floor below and I did not spill water over the side so it must come from leaking in the piping system. The place is very old and in need of lots of repair. Most of the staff were very helpful. Staff can see what needs to be done but I'm not sure the owner can afford doing it. This place was very elegant in its day. The lake is beautiful.

The staff was so friendly and made our stay so enjoyable. The food was amazing, the best I had in a while. Needless to say we are planning a return trip as soon as we find some free time again.

We had a group of 8 and stayed at the four rooms at the cottage house. Rooms were so small, and could not fit in the toilet (you seriously have 6 inches of leg room) and no heat in the toilet area at all. at 12:30 the upstairs tub started draining into our room. The inn keeper came out and offered to move us (in the middle of the night when is 10 degrees out) no thanks, The walkways to the house were barely shoveled, and totally ice covered, and two of the guest in our group fell on the way to dinner in the pitch dark. The 'snacks' were served in a room with buckets catching the drips from the roof, the dinner was bland, the main house was FREEZING and many guest complained of that. The bathroom in the house also had buckets to catch leaks. The mystery dinner was hard to follow without a guide (especially with a couple of drunk guest who did not follow at all) Not one person in our group of 8 liked the breakfast (very dry)then at checkout, you get slammed with a mandatory tip??? never before at a B&B... the dining room tables that are shoved together, leave no room for the staff to serve you, so you constantly have to 'scoot' your chair in so they can get by. It was a HUGE waste of money. Thankfully our kids and their spouses had never been to a B&B, so they didn't know how much of a let down this place was in comparison to most.

Our room did not quite meet my expectations, but that is because we went with my fiance's choice. The room was not bad at all, but it was not everything I wanted. I would love to go back, but next time I choose the room. Also, we did not have wireless internet access in Raymond's cabin, so we just listened to music. We had planned to watch a movie on the laptop. Breakfast was good, but it was not quite as good as I have had at the many other B&B's I have stayed at. Dinner on the otherhand was excellent.

We enjoyed our stay for the most part. However, the dinner was not great. I had the pasta and it was so salty, I had to keep refilling my water glass. The servers seemed harried and like they didn't enjoy their jobs. Breakfast was average for a bed and breakfast--lots of courses, but none of them spectacular. The Mystery dinner ended up being fun, but it was a LOT of work and I wasn't aware that it was really only the guests creating the experience. There were no actors. There was a host, but he did not stay in his "character" and kept making references to previous groups and experiences. I did not appreciate the continual sexual references he kept directing toward the guest who was playing "Randy" that were clearly making her uncomfortable. It was awkward. The Inn was interesting, but the room we were in was very small, the bathroom was teeny. I liked the claw foot tub in the bedroom and it was nice to have HOT water, which can be hard to get at some older inns.

as a DIWEXS (double income, kids with Exs) couple this was a surprise getaway for the weekend between kids stays. I wanted to get way out of Minneapolis, and turn off the Cell phones for 24 hours. this charming little bed and breakfast was like walking into another century. The Murder Mystery dinner was a lot of fun, as well as having breakfast again the next morning, with the seven other culprit couples. I highly recommend this B&B for a perfect get away weekend.

very nice, murder mystery was fun, except for the drunk guy near me. nice people , very nice staff. perhaps another water heater would be good as none of us had hot water...

Hi my wife and i had a great time at Spicer Castle it was a Christmas presant from my mother. We chated with other quest until 2am in the morning it was wonderful and so relaxing. The meal in the evening was great and the breakfast in the morning just kept coming. Great great time we had. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

We stayed at the Spicer Castle in John's Cottage for a night. We were very pleased with the whole experience. When we arrived our room was quite cold, but it warmed up quickly once we adjusted the thermostat. There were also flies in the room that became quite a nuisance. There was not a lot of kindling to start the fire, and we needed to go gather our own. Some of the blinds were also either missing or malfunctioning. Other than that our room was fantastic! None of the above listed things would stop us from going back. We participated in the Murder Mystery dinner, which was a blast! And the food was fantastic!

Room was clean and cozy. Hospitality was super, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was delightful and delicious.

We stayed at Spicer Castle for a Murder Mystery event. The first impressions of the "Castle" left us thinking we had the wrong address. A lot of credit should go to the creative marketing photography that hides the dirt road and undeveloped look of the building and grounds. The staff, while pleasant, seemed more concerned about making sure they captured every nickle of your money than making sure you were enjoying your stay. For instance, the complimentary happy hour consisted of a shot glass sized taste of wine delivered with the message that there is only one free drink and only until 6:00pm. Beyond the annoyance of the penny pinching. The food was great and the rooms were clean. The house was old and charming inside. We enjoyed our stay, but will choose to spend our money elsewhere next time. I would recommend them for a meal or the breakfast buffet.

ROOM: During our visit, we were in the Mason Room. After checking out the other rooms, we decided that the Mason Room was our favorite. It had a nice view of the lake, a whirlpool, and decent space. However, there were some issues. First, the bathroom sink was in need of repair. The hot water line did not work and the faucet dripped constantly. Second, the floors were filthy. Third, the whirlpool was tricky to use. The signs posted on the wall warned of potential leaking to the main floor if water surpassed the tub rim. As a result, we monitored the water level and never filled it past half full. Unfortunately, we still received a knock on the door stating that our tub was leaking to the main floor. We believe that the overflow drain is actually the issue, so be careful not to let the water reach the overflow drain. Additionally, like other individuals stated, we also ran out of hot water quickly. We were able to fill the tub a 1/3 full with warm to lukewarm water. We sat in the tub and thought we'd wait it out for more hot water. After a half hour, we tried again for hot water - it was lukewarm at best. After another 15 minutes, we tried again and finally were able to infuse more hot water into the tub. Fourth, the room was lacking in typical supplies we've found at other bed and breakfasts. They do not provide shampoo, so remember to bring your own. Also, if you plan on drinking wine in your room, we'd recommend bringing along a corkscrew and wine glasses. SERVICE: Service can be summed up by saying we felt more like customers than guests. It seemed a bit impersonal. FOOD: We were there during their Sunday brunch buffet. The selection was nice - the group favorite seemed to be the wild race strata. However, when we asked for more juice, we found out you could only have one glass. (We were just surprised since we have always been offered more at other bed and breakfasts.) Also, the snack food at happy hour was extremely stale.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Maintenance was underway and room should have been closed. Guest selected room after arrival and staff member that checked them in was unaware that room was undergoing maintenance. During evening, staff noted whirlpool tub pump was on for extended period during which there was no water leaking to main floor. Late in evening, perhaps 10:30 pm, a leak was noticed and this was called to attention of guests and the leak stopped shortly there after. On some occassions we experience shortage of hot water. The water heater has capacity to recover in short time. As we serve wine, we open wine bottles and there is no reason to have wine openers in rooms. If a guests brings wine to drink in their room they may obtain wine bottle openers and wine glasses upon request. Any amenities normally available in lodging and not in room are available on request. A new wait staff apparently told guest incorrectly that she could not have second glass of orange juice. On occassion guests prefer to enjoy the privacy of their room and accordingly staff are carfeul to avoid interrupting their privacy. Staff do not recall Mason Room guests on March 6 except at check-in and check-out. Apparently, they came to breakfast after it had been underway for some time as they referred to it as brunch. We appreciate suggestions from our guests and have a comment card in each room that is picked up after guest departure. We did not receive a comment card from the guests in Mason Room on March 6. They did comment at check-out that faucet leaked and they thought tub drain was leaking. We thanked them for their visit and comments.

We used this spot as a pivotal point for visiting some of the area state parks. The B&B itself was very interesting with a great deal of history in the area. The other rooms in the inn looked much more comfortable thanthe one we had (Russells Room). So I think the inn may deserve a better rating than we would give. Our room was drafty and had inadequate bathing facilities.

The packages they offer are an exciting addition to a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Thrilled to have supper and $99 special. When arrivedm no welcome or information given until we asked questions. We had to ask all the questions to get all the information. meals served very late. Everything else great: later staff friendly, rooms & food good.

My fiance got me two nights at the castle with the murder mystery dinner for my birthday. The murder mystery dinner wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it a lot of fun, and the food was very good. The first night we stayed in Eunice's room, which was neat, I liked the swinging bed and big jacuzzi tub. The second night, we stayed in john's cottage, which was amazing. I loved the real wood-burning fireplace in the cabin, and the jacuzzi tub was very nice. It also had a nice view of the lake out front. Breakfasts were good, plenty of food for sure! The talk about the history of the castle the second morning with the current owner of the property was a little long, dry, and boring for my fiance and I. We would have preferred to have that lecture be something optional to attend, and not given at breakfast when we would rather be talking with the other guests. The common areas are nice, we spent one evening sitting on the 4-season porch playing games and drinking wine. It was a very relaxing weekend, I would definately go back here again.

The mystery dinner was a hoot! The castle was clean - decorated for Christmas - filled with unique old things and period furniture - the food was fabulous and the staff warm and welcoming. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

We spent 2 nights for a birthday and get-away. Although our first room was a disappointment (mainly due to a tiny closet bathroom which wouldn't fit little ol' me, let alone my 6'2'' husband), the staff was very accommodating in finding us a roomier room with a lovely lake view, fireplace and jacuzzi. We spent one night inside the house, and one in John's cabin. The historic aspect (it's still owned and operated by the original family) and the lake location made it unique and very worthwhile, in spite of the chilly November weather.

My wife and I spend an overnight at Spicer Castle to celebrate our 34th anniversary. Our room was a 2-level with a very comfortable large bet upstairs, but a small toilette closet a floor below. The stairs were more like a ladder so we had our challenges. (Christopher room) The lodge was unique and historic. The meals were great and we enjoyed them very much. I have diabetes, and they made adjustments to the meals to help me. I highly recommendSpicer Castle, but try to register early to get a room in the main house.

My husband and I just spent a very relaxing weekend at Spicer Castle. The location on the lake was beautiful and the castle is lovingly cared for. This peaceful setting was just what we needed! Our room was very comfortable and homey. We would highly recommend the dinner cruise. The food was superb!

I took my husband to the Spicer Castle for his Birthday in late November, 2007. We also took part in the Mystery Dinner that Saturday evening-- It was so much fun. Our room was wonderful- We plan on returning this summer to enjoy the boat cruise on Green Lake.
