Great Family VacationThis was our second time staying at this property and we again loved it! Vicki is a great host with great communication. The house has everything you need for a fun family vacation. There’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and also to be together. Family liked relaxing on the decks enjoying the lake activity while the kids enjoyed the big backyard and all the garage toys. We recommend the property.

Nancy and family, Thank you for your kind words...and nice note you left in the book. I'm glad you found me just a few hours from home; plus on a lake, in the big city with so many activities to choose from. A perfect combo for summer fun with family. I'm also happy the girls enjoyed the hula hoops:) My best, Vicki

We loved our stay at Eagle’s Nest property. The multi-level house fits our family’s needs perfectly. The grandkids love the sand pile and using the lily pad float directly beside the dock. Also the flat back yard was great for some wiffle ball. Property is well kept and Vicki is available to respond to any questions or needs we have. We are planning to return again next year. Definitely recommend highly!

This property really is a home away from home. From the thoughtful amenities and stocked kitchens (2!) to the soft sheets and ample towels, we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The house is well-appointed but also comfortable so you can relax without worrying about the furniture. Three of the four bedrooms have views of the lake, as do the cooking and gathering areas of the home. Access to the lake is just steps from the house. We took in the sunrise from the dock one morning and the kids played in the water while we supervised from the lower deck. We saw cranes, ducks, geese, eagles, blue jays and other birds. The neighborhood was quiet and there is ample access to running/biking paths nearby. The host was in regular communication with us before, during, and after our stay and answered our questions promptly. Great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Decker

Host profile image
When became Empty Nester's we decided to move to a more serene setting. Spring Lake in Prior Lake was just a perfect location. Close to our sons and their families and everything a big city has to offer yet on the outskirts. My husband and I spent many hours remodeling until it was perfect. After his passing I have decided to share this beautiful setting with others. I grew up on an Iowa farm and believe in sharing what I have been blessed with. It gives me great joy to meet my guests, hear their stories of family /friend gatherings and reunions. Just enjoy a special time together away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, with a beautiful relaxing view of the water. I look forward to hosting you and hearing your story.
Your host, Vicki

Why they chose this property

The best thing about this property is location, location, location.
You can have a lake vacation yet only be a short 30 min. from downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul and all a big city has to offer. When you enter the home you have sweeping views of the lake. It is set up great for entertaining... two outdoor patios, a large back yard for games and complete with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. For the sports minded I have 4 TV's so you don't miss the big play. There is a small boat garage filled with backyard games, paddle boards, Lilly pad, fire pit, fishing gear, sand pile for the little ones and much more.
My personal pontoon is available for an additional daily rate for those with boating experience.
I will only be a short distance away and available for any questions or needs you may have.

What makes this property unique

Home sits back away from the street
Several parking pads
Large flat backyard for games
Fresh sand delivered for the kiddos
and best of all...a pontoon you can rent by the day or week that would be used just by you.
