Clear Lake House | Large Family Lake Oasis with exquisite log furniture charm!

5 Bedroom House in Clear Lake

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.
