- "This cabin was perfect for our small family. It is clean and decorated super cute. Kitchen has almost everything needed to make any meal. Plenty of room for myself, my husband and my son. It is right on the lake with its own clean little beach area. Dock is great for fishing. We caught fish all day right off the end. Owners were fantastic.

Cabin
Clear Lake, Minnesota, USA

Comfortable homey atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy lake life. Sit on the deck or swing to enjoy lake views. Or bring a boat, whether fishing, skiing, tubing or just cruising and explore the Briggs Lake chain (connected lakes: Julia, Briggs & Rush Lake). Located on the East side of Lake Julia, you will have front row seating to amazing sunsets. You will enjoy flat, level access to your own private dock. Take out the kayaks if you are looking for a little adventure or maybe just visit with friends and family on the deck overlooking the lake while cooking on the Blackstone! Wake up to the sound of Loon's wishing you a good morning and the beautiful sunsets a good night.
Local area has a general store with gas, groceries, bait or anything maybe left behind. There are numerous restaurants within minutes of your stay if you don't feel like cooking. Plus you are minutes away from 3 wonderful golf courses. Julia’s Cottage is close enough to St Cloud or Monticello for shopping and dining, but far enough away to feel like you are on a vacation.
We will be open for winter activities!! Whether ice fishing, snowmobiling(trails are about 1 1/2 miles away and easily accessible) or just wanting to get away!!

Guest Reviews:

- "It was an awe moment the moment we walked up to the cabin. The view of the lake from both the cabin and the patio are amazing. We watched woodpeckers, nuthatches, ospreys, eagles and more as we sat on the patio with coffee in the mornings and drinks in the evening. The activity on the lake was serene with skull boats, SUP's, and pontoon boats slowly sliding by. We had family out on several occasions to enjoy past memories of when we owned a cabin. It was the most relaxing stay we have had visiting the Minnesota relatives."

Racheal was right there within seconds to any question we may have had. This place and owner are the real deal for a place to stay." - "This was our second time staying and it was just as great as the first.

Guest Reviews:

- "Three ladies, great food and drinks, winter sunshine in the hot tub, laughter, fun, and memories made. This was the perfect annual cousin getaway. Great location, access, and accommodations. Adorable decor." - "The cozy cabin was well stocked for a weekend of relaxation and fun! We absolutely loved our stay on Eagle Lake!" - "Wonderful view of lake and sunrise. Gas fireplace was nice because neither of us are experienced with fire building. Because it is late in the season, there was less opportunity to enjoy the seating outside but the area provided good options for walking. It's always great to have internet and streaming TV for chilling out. Thanks for sharing your cabin."

The house was clean, safe and had everything we needed. The water in the shower smells a bit sulfur-y, but the water filter in the kitchen worked wonders.

Guest Reviews:

- "My family had an amazing time at River Haven! Lots of fun family time playing pool and just hanging out on the amazing deck looking out at the amazing view of the Mississippi. I only wish our hosts could have made the trees all turn their fall colors during our stay! LOL! No seriously though, the hosts were very accommodating and we are truly grateful that we were able to stay at River Haven! " - "We had a great stay at River Haven. The house was clean and plentiful amenities were readily available. The pool table and board games were a great asset for rainy days and fishing was easily accessible on the river. The hosts answered emails and text messages in a timely manner. A little more instruction on using the key code would be helpful and maybe being a little more transparent about the second bathroom being downstairs where no bedrooms are located. The upstairs bathroom was the most convenient and with 5 people staying, it got a bit cramped. Overall, the house was more than sufficient and quite comfortable."

The Loondocks is about 10 minutes away from downtown Big Lake, 15 minutes from Elk River, and just under 20 minutes from Monticello.

Our space is NOT a good fit for those with mobility issues.

We have natural, uneven stone steps that lead down the the property from where you park. These are a challenge for those with mobility issues.

In the loft bedroom up the spiral staircase, there is a handrail, but it is a little tight up there. Kids are welcome, but should be supervised if they don't have very good balance.

In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the house is equipped with an exterior camera at the front door and another to keep an eye on the dock. The cameras are ONLY on the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside.

The PALMER HOUSE carries a rich history, being the first home on Briggs Lake and reputedly the original area trading post.

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.
