Escape to Serenity Pines, a fully renovated three-bedroom home on the shores of Upper South Long Lake, just outside Brainerd, Minnesota. Sleeping up to six, this 1,500-square-foot home pairs vaulted ceilings and knotty-pine walls with a warm Up North feel and a like-new interior — plus true lake-house living just steps from the back door.
Every surface here has been freshly updated: an open-concept kitchen with a black granite island, a dining room with seating for six, new wood flooring, new carpet, and new bathrooms throughout. Step outside to a front patio at the entry, a back patio off the kitchen, and a wide lawn that runs down to the rock-lined shoreline. At the water’s edge, a fire pit circle with seating for eight and a hammock strung between the pines make for the perfect spot to watch the sun go down over the lake.
