| The Log House |
| The Log House circa, 1889, just across the meadow from the Homestead, was built by the innkeeper's great-great-grandparents Peter and Anna Jensen. It was moved intact 80 miles from northern Minnesota and now rests on a knoll overlooking Spirit Lake. The logs still wear their original whitewash, surprising guests with a light interior. The restoration was performed with great care. An 82-year-old carpenter replicated the windows. New floors and roof were installed, as well as plumbing. Each of the two bedrooms has its own bath. Newspaper fragments found in the walls have been framed and hang throughout the house. Two especially well preserved pieces carry the original Jensen mailing label. |

Anna's Room on the lower level, gives onto a lakeside deck and screen porch. Its bath has a standard tub with shower and sports an antique washstand and mirror. A dated Norwegian chest and trunk are special antiques. A loveseat and chair offer lake view seating. Waking to a rising sun streaming through the oversized glass doors is one of the special joys of this room. |

Matilda's Room, above the parlor, is furnished entirely with antiques - even its king bed. The Jensen family immigrant trunk rests at its foot. The sloped ceiling and visible logs attest to its being the original bedroom to the house. Doorknobs and hooks from an old church hold towels in its shower bath. The screen porch off the parlor is exclusively for Matilda's Room use, except when shared during breakfast. |
