"Your Country Home Away from Home"

Experience the country!
If you need a vacation rental house to stay on your travels or a retreat from the stress of life to a quiet, peaceful surrounding, NorthShore GuestHouse is for you. We are in a rural setting with the nearest neighbor one mile away and out of sight. Our place can be your “Country Home Away from Home”. To enjoy this quiet atmosphere you will have to drive on about three miles of gravel roads.
Located less than one mile from the Marion Reservoir, NorthShore GuestHouse provides lodging to only one party at a time. We are surrounded by Wildlife and Parks property with over 6,000 acres for public use. Hunting, fishing, water sports, bird-watching, hiking, and bicycling are some of the activities you can enjoy in our area. Come on out and enjoy the quiet country landscape on the deck or around the fire ring in the back acreage.

NorthShore GuestHouse is a 1400 square foot, three bedroom bungalow with a deck overlooking the park lands. The residence had central hear and air, a smart TV and DVD player. There is a bright dining room with comfortable seating for six, a fully equipped kitchen, living room, and a utility room furnished with a washer and dryer. There are one and one half baths; if there are two or less guest the large bathroom will be made available. There is one king size bed and one queen size bed in two of the bedrooms and two single beds in the third accommodating six people comfortably.

The kitchen has a sunny eastern exposure and is equipped with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, coffee and tea, glasses, dishware and cooking utensils. In the back yard there is ample space to set up tents.

An electric hook up for one RV is available which is rented only in conjunction with the house. An outside dog kennel and shelter is provided. Campfires are allowed in the fire ring located in the backyard. A large charcoal grill and lawn chairs are available for your use.

Beyond thankful for Lynn and Charlie
This stay was amazing. First, the home is warm, accommodating, clean and quiet. The property is well manicured with tons of space to run and play. We had a beautiful fire which was already stacked and ready to go. Beds were comfortable, showers were spacious, kitchen stocked. Second, we had the weirdest experience of car troubles. But Charlie was ready to not only allow a mechanic to come and work on the van, but shared an air compressor and tire patches to ensure everything was ready for us to set sail home the next day. We can’t thank this couple enough for sharing their space with our family. It could have been a vacation wrought with stress, but instead, we were relaxed knowing everything was going to be ok. You never want vehicle trouble on vacation, but I know the universe put us in the right place at the right time.

A great place to stay for our family gathering to celebrate a wedding. The gravel road could be an issue for some vehicles, depending on weather conditions. Lots of substantial rocks on part of the journey into town. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped, in a peaceful location. We enjoyed listening to a couple of great horned owls and saw a flock of snow geese fly directly overhead. Beautiful!

We stayed for our son’s wedding. Everything was very warm and inviting. Our granddaughters enjoyed playing outside in the large backyard. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 kids. The house was very clean and had lots of books puzzles and games to keep everyone entertained. Will definitely stay again if we are in the area.
