The Back Nine House - 4BR Luxury Near Candle Lake Golf - Prairie & Pine
Welcome to The Back 9 Retreat, a peaceful and spacious 4,000 sq ft 4-season home tucked into the trees at Candle Lake. Backing near Hole 11 of the golf course and set on a quiet half-acre lot, this thoughtfully designed retreat offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway- from a private hot tub and wood sauna (Available 2026) to a fully equipped games and fitness space. Whether you’re gathering with family or enjoying a quiet escape with friends, this is a place to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with nature not a party destination.
You’re just 5 minutes from Waskateena Beach, yet tucked into the trees on a quiet street - making it a serene base for lake days, golf rounds, snowmobile trips, or cozy weekends in.
This is our family retreat, not a staged or fully curated short-term rental. You’ll notice personal items and everyday touches throughout the home - that’s part of the charm, and we kindly ask that these items be respected and left as you found them.
You’re welcome to make yourself at home and use items such as kitchen spices, oils, or pantry basics. If you use a significant amount of a consumable item, we ask that you replace it with an equivalent or let us know what’s running low so we can restock for ourselves and future guests. We will not be removing pantry items - if it offends you please don't book.
