Pine Brook House | Emma's Spectacle Lake Home - a Perfect Retreat from the World

2 Bedroom House in Pine Brook, Cambridge

Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home is located on the clear and beautiful 239 square acre Spectacle Lake, eight miles west of Cambridge, Minnesota.
Longing for a North Woods retreat but don’t want to spend precious vacation hours on the highway? Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home is the place for you. Travel just one hour north of the Twin Cities to historic Isanti County where the wild and scenic Rum River runs for 153 miles, old growth stands of White Pine dot the landscape, pristine lakes and unspoiled wetlands thrive, and abundant and varied wildlife are plentiful. All of this combines to provide the classic North Woods experience.
Whether you are looking for a quiet couple’s getaway or an activity-packed family holiday, Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home offers many varied opportunities for enjoyment and relaxation.
Staying In…
Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home is a great place to unwind and renew. Let the magnificent sunrises welcome you on one of the two enclosed porches, the walkout patio or the open deck. Expect to hear the call of loons and maybe get a glimpse of a Deer, Grouse, Bald Eagle, Crane or Owl making their way to and from the Spectacle Lake Wildlife Management Area. Ready to take a swim or do some fishing? Just walk down to the 100 feet of preserved natural shoreline and the sandy bottom lake. Catch Sunnies off the dock or take your boat out on the lake for Northern Pike, Bluegill, Walleye, and Largemouth Bass. (There is a public, concrete, boat launch located not far from the house.) For dinner, light the BBQ and dine on the deck, one of the 2 porches or the patio then move down to the fire pit for s’mores and stargazing. When it’s time for bed, throw open the windows and be lulled to sleep by a lake breeze and the water lapping the shore. If the weather turns inclement, curl up by the fireplace, pop in a DVD or VHS and play a game or just relax and listen to the rain.
Going Out….
While the Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home offers the opportunity for total relaxation and rejuvenation, the area offers so much more. Grab your clubs and play one or more of the twelve beautiful golf courses in the area, or bring your hiking boots and bicycle and take advantage of the multitude of spectacular trails and parks. Rent a canoe and paddle down the picturesque and protected Rum River, take a swim at the township’s public swimming area with its welcoming sandy beach or soak up a little history visiting the many Isanti County historical sites dating back to the mid 1800’s. In the evening, have a great meal in town and visit the eclectic shops and antique stores.
The Basics…..
The home’s amenities include: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 kitchens with dish washers and microwaves, 2 great rooms with TV/DVD players, a laundry room, 2 enclosed porches, an open deck, a walkout patio, a gas fireplace, 2 gas BBQs, and a fire pit. If the weather gets too warm there is air conditioning to keep you cool. The home sleeps up to 6 people comfortably (utilizing the futon in the great room) and the family dog is more than welcome!
Finally….
Let Emma’s Spectacular Lake Home provide you a perfect retreat from the world. Just 50 miles from the twin cities, you are only minutes away from exploring nature’s plentiful gifts. Enjoy a North Woods experience, quality lodging, and the pleasure of “lake living” all in a clam and settled neighborhood.

Summary: This place was immaculate. I love that the house was fully stocked with paper goods, and cleaning supplies. We had access to the canoe, and the lifejackets and oars were provided. The outdoor space was so peaceful to sit and see the sun rise, watch the birds, and enjoy some games. The games are well stocked also. The owner called to make sure I had check in instructions and also to see if I needed anything. She also responded quickly when I had a minor question. We slept soundly! We hope to stay again!

Summary: We could not have asked for a better place to stay then Emma’s Cabin. We were traveling with our 2 dogs and two adult children and found this to be the perfect place for everyone to completely relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and each other. We played games, paddled around in the canoe, swam, read, ate, watched movies …etc. It was absolutely wonderful. The house is beautiful without being fussy and everything has been carefully thought out for a guests comfort and enjoyment. The pictures don’t really do the location justice. The cabin sits on a gorgeous, clear lake in a peaceful neighborhood. There are two huge screened in porches as well as a huge deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything one could ever need. The backyard is a lush lawn with a gentle slope down to the lake/private dock. We spent hours watching the birds, squirrels and bunnies playing in the yard. We were lucky enough the be there for the “blue moon” which reflected perfectly off the lake and into our hearts. For the past few days, we could believe all was right in the world…and for that we feel eternally grateful.

Summary: The property was exactly as portrayed in the listing. There was an outside deck, a screen porch above and below, and PLENTY of seating. It was really amazing. A variety of restaurants were nearby and all were quite good. Lots of ice cream shops, too! We definitely would stay here again. Ann

Summary: My wife and I spent a week here, and we were sad to leave. We enjoyed the enclosed porch, and eating meals on the deck. All the comforts of home, plus nice view of the lake, where we lost count of the number of fish we caught. Not far from several parks with nice walking trails.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and in particular the lovely screened porches. We enjoyed some time in the Twin Cities one day (which was close enough to get to easily without being too close). The public beach was very nice and a stop each day we stayed. Glad we stayed for our family vacation at this lovely lake house.

Summary: Very nice property and lake. Home was clean with great views and flows nicely for using the lake and entertaining friends and family. Was easy to launch our kayaks and paddle boards and explore the beautiful lake. Also saw lots of great birds: Eagles, Osprey, Baltimore Orioles, Rose breasted Grosbeak, Loons, Pileated Woodpeckers, Catbirds and more. Easy fishing for sunnies and bass. As my 12-year-old daughter said, it was a "2 thumps up vacation".

Summary: The cabin is beautiful and has everything you need. The property was very clean and we loved being right on the water. Our family (my husband, son, dog and I) had a fantastic vacation. We would highly recommend this cabin!

Summary: Sunrise off the lake is beautiful and the water is clear. You can see the blue Sunníes and minnows swimming near the dock. The lily pads have white flowers and the air is fresh and amazing. The pictures online don’t show how impressive the lake house really is, to me. The upstairs gets warm, but if you find a way to block the sun from 9am to noon, it helps a lot! Use fans to circulate the air from the kitchen floor vent and around the upstairs. Fans save the afternoon (if you can prevent little ones from turning them off) During the heat wave (July) should cool some August. Bring water shoes to jump in the lake at the dock. Canoe was awesome! Downstairs stays cool and futons were comfortable and sturdy. Kept the teens in the little bedrooms so they could squeeze in their self-time & it went well. Could use higher lock for screens downstairs. Crafty toddlers made fast breaks for the water, so we found upstairs safer, just warmer. Beautiful place!
