4 BR Briggs Lake Retreat w/Large Dock & NEW Fire Pit. Only 1 HR from Twin Cities

Welcome to your ultimate lakefront getaway in Clear Lake! Located under an hour from the Twin Cities and just 15 minutes from St. Cloud, this family-friendly retreat feels worlds away from the busyness of everyday life.

Perfect for large groups and families, this spacious home comfortably accommodates everyone with four bedrooms—featuring one king, three queens, and a fun mix of full, twin, and bunk beds—plus three bathrooms to make morning routines a breeze.

Outside, a large U-shaped driveway offers ample room to easily park 10+ vehicles.
Inside, you can unwind with a good book or gather for group meals in the open dining areas, with central air conditioning keeping you perfectly cool on warm summer days. Step out onto the patio designed for ultimate relaxation, or head out onto the 1-acre yard that offers endless room for outdoor lawn games.

A quick drive up the road brings you to the local General Store (stocked with ice cream by the scoop, sure to have your favorite flavor!) and the charming Palmer House restaurant.

The real highlight of your stay is the seamless, year-round access to Briggs, Julia, and Rush Lakes right from your backyard. There is a public access point nearby, so feel free to bring along your boat and favorite water toys. You'll have two dock spaces with bumpers ready for you, plus an outlet to charge batteries on shore.

Cast a line into one of Briggs Lake’s prime fishing spots right from your private dock, or use our two complimentary kayaks, two paddle boards, and pedal boat to explore the water. After a thrilling day of summer boating, you can gather around the brand-new lakeside bonfire pit to share stories and roast marshmallows under the stars.

This lake house is just as magical in the winter! Spend your days ice fishing on the Briggs Lake chain or exploring the nearby snowmobiling trails. Afterward, come home to warm up by the electric fireplace with a hot drink, or gather around the table for a fun night of board games. We can't wait to welcome you to your cozy winter getaway!

No matter the season, we look forward to welcoming you to your ultimate lakeside escape!

This was a great VRBO! Everything was just as listed. Host was super responsive and helpful when needed. Lake was easy to access with a rented boat. The General store nearby had so much plus yummy ice cream! Location was great. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need! Comfy beds/ furniture to hangout! We would absolutely visit again!
