"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. Located less than one mile from the Marion Reservoir, NorthShore GuestHouse provides lodging to only one party at a time, with your friendly hosts next door. Since NorthShore is barely visible from the host house, guest privacy is assured.To enjoy this quiet atmosphere you will have to drive on about three miles of gravel roads.
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.

We enjoyed staying at the guest house. It had everything we needed! The owners are super nice and checked on us just after check in. The guest house offers plenty of privacy, but the owners are close enough to deal with any issues that might pop up.

A Dark Sky Delight

For travelers looking for a remote location at which to enjoy a little stargazing, look no further than this delightful country home. Though our stay was short, we enjoyed ourselves and would firmly recommend it to other travelers seeking a place to stay far from the city lights.
