Immerse yourself in our lake home's charm on Minnesota's Briggs chain of lakes, offering a unique blend of luxury and rustic decor. The large living space features handcrafted log furniture and themed rooms like 'The Bear' and 'Moose,' perfect for groups or large family gatherings. Enjoy the tranquility of lakeside living as you fish, boat, and swim. Create memorable moments in this carefully curated retreat. Experience more than just a stay; embark on a journey to the heart of lake country. In under an hour's journey from the Twin Cities, and only 15 minutes from St Cloud, you'll arrive at a place that feels worlds away, deep in the heart of the north. Pack up your boat, fishing gear, and all your favorite water toys. Whether you're casting a line from the dock or venturing about 200 yards out into one of Briggs Lake's prime fishing spots, you're in for a treat. Briggs Lake connects you to a network of waters, including Lake Julia and Rush Lake, with a kayak route to Elk Lake. For your outdoor cooking needs, choose between our gas and charcoal grills. Enjoy the expansive one-acre yard, perfect for any game you bring along. A short walk takes you to the local park, where you can enjoy a volleyball and basketball court, baseball fields, and a vast jungle gym for the kids. This home boasts a stunning open layout, complemented by pine wall accents, and features a spacious wrap-around deck. Enjoy fishing from the dock, dipping your toes at the sandy beach cove, or engaging in water sports with your own boat. Our guest book is filled with fishing tales – though the truth of some may be as elusive as the fish themselves. Surrounded by large windows, the main level offers panoramic lake views through 27 of its 31 windows, alongside a kitchen adorned with granite countertops and a double oven. The PALMER HOUSE carries a rich history, being the first home on Briggs Lake and reputedly the original area trading post. Boards from an early construction, signed and dated 1916 by those who built it, add to its historical allure. The main level features a unique wall covered with wood from an old train caboose, once a prominent feature of the property. Near the front door stands an operational hand pump from the original well, offering a refreshing drink of well water. Legend tells us that Sinclair Lewis, the first American Nobel Prize laureate, once found solace and inspiration here, contributing to his literary achievements. Overlooking the same splendid vistas and breathtaking sunrises he once did, guests can explore a few of his novels available in the cabin, connecting with a bygone era. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102940000/102933800/102933707/c6de75af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Julia’s Lakefront Cottage…updated cabin, private dock & beautiful sunsets.

We played many card games on the deck and at the big table. kitchen is well equipped and very functional. We were thankful for the AC on the day it was 107 degrees outside!

Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall good stay The cabin layout and size worked great for our group of 8 adults. It was in good condition with modern conveniences. Plenty of seating areas inside and a large deck. The kitchen/cabin was stocked quite well with the basics. We used the gas grill which was in good condition. Four of us golfed at a nearby course which was very nice. There were some minor things (ie. a loose toilet seat, an extra coffeemaker that didn’t work) that were small inconveniences. The two downsides to the property is the quite small “beach” area (which is fairly depicted in the photos) and the overall water quality of the lake. Algae clumps regularly collected on the shore so we never swam or waded there. We rented a pontoon from a local place and would anchor out further to swim. However even far from shore the water was pretty green with poor clarity. Something to be aware of. ##### Shari E. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrea D. Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful lake home It was an beautiful lake home, but the lake not so much. The lake was extremely dirty, and for what we paid a night we spent more time raking the seaweed than actually swimming. It should be taken care of, not our responsibility! Also the communication was not the greatest. I was texted so many different things from the owner and the house rules said otherwise. So we were unsure what to do with the fire wood, and the check out time was different as well. I also think for such a big group we had we should of had more towels and washcloths. Overall our family enjoyed our stay we just wish we could of swam more instead of raked. ##### Andrea D.
