Winter getaway

We had a wonderful mother-daughter weekend at this delightful property. The hosts are incredibly caring and responsive, and the cabin is filled with many welcoming, extra touches. It is "cozy" in the best way, and we would book again in a heartbeat.

Incredible Red Cabin

This was a fantastic place to stay. In reality, the photos do not do it justice for how cozy and spacious the property is. My friends and I already have plans to go back this summer when the docks are in. Great view for a bonfire, tons of sleeping space and right down the street from the Palmer House, a great little bar if you feel like getting out for lunch, dinner or just to meet some great people and have a nice night out. Having kayaks on the property makes it easy to get on the water as well, if you don’t have a boat. 10/10 stay!

Cozy cabin on a frozen lake

Perfect winter weekend get away. Simple little touches throughout the cabin to made us comfortable and feel at home. Warm fireplace combined with the heat from the furnace warmed the place up fast after being outside in the cold winter air. Owner was easy going and quick to respond.

Perfect place for a peaceful getaway!

We were looking for a place that wasn’t too far from the Saint Cloud area and this little red cabin was perfect! It was very clean and had all the essentials inside. The area was very quiet and peaceful - we would have loved to stay longer and spend more time here! Thank you Kara for a wonderful stay!

Family Staycation!

We had a great time at the Cozy Red Cabin! Unfortunately, we stayed during a freak spring snowstorm, so we weren't able to enjoy the outdoors at all. However, we had a very relaxing long weekend, filled with family games, movies, lots of cooking, and watching the snow fall over the lake. The house is set up wonderfully for a small family and a pup or 2. Kara and her husband were awesome, super responsive and great to work thru the detail with! They even came mid-snowstorm to shovel for us. We would definitely stay there again.

Amazing Cabin

A group of us get together for “cabin” weekend once a year and picked this gem this year! We loved our time here and couldn’t have asked for anything more. The boathouse with the bedroom on top of it was so nice! It was very hot the weekend we were there, so having a window AC in that extra space is literally the only thing we would change. And it really was not a big deal as the main cabin had central air. We would definitely stay here again!

Great stay at Red Cabin

My family (ages 8-73) completely enjoyed our stay on Briggs Lake. The weather was hot and humid, so we were so glad the cabin had AC. The house and bunkhouse were very clean, well-supplied, and extremely comfortable. Everyone loved the farmhouse sink so much that we didn’t even mind washing our dirty dishes by hand. (There is no dishwasher.) We stayed busy kayaking, tubing, swimming, fishing and relaxing. Campfires in the evening were great for roasting hot dogs and making s’mores. In our four-day stay, we never turned on any of the televisions. We made some wonderful family memories on Briggs Lake and hope to return next summer! Thanks much.
