Holiday rentals with a kayak in Anoka County

Thank you for a charming and comfortable place to stay. We stayed for a month. Lots of fun places to go nearby. Great sunsets! Cute little place with everything we needed. Felt very homey, very quiet, nice lake location. Safe. Neighbors yards are really messy but that didn't bother us. Host was really nice.

We decided on Stillwater as a fun place to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our two kids from Oregon and Colorado. We were specifically looking for a place that was in a beautiful setting near water. Bryan's listing was a perfect match! We loved watching the birds at the feeders, enjoyed time on the patio and enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace in the evening. Lots of large windows let us gaze at the incredible view of the lake. We invited a few local friends and family to join us for an anniversary open house and Byran put extra leaves in the dining table and got out folding chairs for our guests before we arrived. He was so considerate of our plans! We had the best celebration ever and know that anyone who chooses to book this vacation spot will absolutely love it! Tom & Debbe from Iowa

We had a great time at the Airbnb! Very relaxing lake property and had plenty of things to do there. It was nice that it was in close proximity to places to eat/groceries, etc.

This was a fantastic place to stay. It is right on the river and is in a very quiet neighborhood. There is a wonderful dock with the place and there is a marina with boat ramp and rentals about 500 feet away. We fished off of the dock all week and caught Drum, Walleye, and Perch. Hudson WI is 5 minutes away and Stillwater MN is about 15 minutes away. Both towns are full of good restaurants and shops.

Beautiful home with peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the hot tub, making smores around a fire, swinging our 1 year old on the rope swing, and many more activities. I was the most impressed with all the fun toys available for our daughter. She had a blast and so did we! Will definitely return in the future.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The pictures do not do this place justice! We were able to catch fish right off the dock and tied up our boat easily on the private dock. Clear Lake was full of fish action too! We enjoyed all the various private spaces to read a book or lounge as a family. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting a getaway to a lakefront space. Thanks again for being wonderful hosts!

We stayed here for a girls’ weekend and the house was perfect for us! Modern, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved the little lake outside the kitchen window and enjoyed hanging out on both the front and back porches in addition to making s’mores around the fire pit. Beds were comfortable and so were the couches! We loved the big craft table for doing puzzles and playing games. It was close and convenient to Stillwater, too. A really great home for a weekend getaway!

We had the most magical stay at this home! The house itself was absolutely stunning—beautifully decorated, cozy, and everything we could have hoped for to make our holiday perfect. The hosts went above and beyond to make it feel like Christmas. They even left personalized stockings for our kids filled with thoughtful little gifts, which absolutely delighted them! It was such a heartwarming and unexpected touch that made our stay truly special. Thank you for helping us create unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to come back!

My pup and I felt right at home. comfortable beds and a beautiful view of the lake...what more could a weary traveler ask for? really awesome place. highly recommend...

The stay was great! Beautiful and spacious kitchen area/living room. Clean rooms and all with a “homey” feel, the only thing was that the water had a smell to it. Other than that everything else was fun especially the lake.

Very cute interior; lots of extra supplies in case we forgot anything. Loved the bathroom!! Quiet; beds were comfortable & nice to have 2 TV’s as my husband & I have different tastes. The only tiny negative is the yard - not really any grassy area for our little dog, but she didn’t mind walking down the block.

If you ever want a true lake house experience with all of the fun but none of the dreaded lake house chores this is the place for you. It’s cosy and comes with all the amenities. The owner is a genuinely nice person. You are within driving distance of several “oh fer cute” Minnesota towns and the lake is right outside your door!

Jordyns place was exactly as described. Plenty of room for all our family members. Extremely well stocked with towels, cooking and eating supplies, and other essentials, very clean with a relaxed and comfortable vibe. Definitely one of best Air B & B we've stayed at. Very responsive to our Questions and kept us informed as our check out day arrived. We will definitely stay here again when visiting family . Thank you for a great stay!

We enjoyed our Minimoon here. Was great. Nothing bad to say, other than we clearly didn’t thoroughly read the posting because we were shocked that it was a guest house! Our fault. But anyway, very clean and nice! Would for sure recommend.

This home was in a lovely setting. We enjoyed walking around the camp as well as sitting at one of the numerous outdoor tables and watching wildlife and scenery. The Garden House is spacious and was just perfect for our group of four friends for a retreat!

We loved staying in the St. Francis Cottage! It was so peaceful - we enjoyed both the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. We jad everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The grounds are great for walking and enjoying nature and it was a very short drive to scenic overlooks and downtown Stillwater. It was a perfect getaway!

If you are looking for R&R with a great view, this is your place!! Very clean and hosts are very responsive. Easy checkout instructions. Make sure to walk down the road to Ridgewood Bay for Happy Hour!

5 Stars – A Perfect Getaway! Loondocks Lake House was everything we hoped for and more! The home is exactly as pictured—clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The setting is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing escape. The host was incredibly welcoming and made everything easy from start to finish. If you’re looking to make lifetime memories with family or friends, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful home that worked well for the 3 generations from 83 year old great grandma down to the toddler! We fished off the dock and walked into town and to the park. My grown children loved the game room And theater room. Ann thought of everything. She plans for everything you might forget and is extremely well organized. My mom stayed on the first floor where there are no steps which worked out well for those that can’t venture upstairs to the theater room. But there are plenty of other TV’s to watch in on the first floor.

We loved staying at Chris’s place. We came in to town to see family and enjoy the snow. Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate and we only saw a small amount of snow the evening we arrived. But what can ya do?! Chris was incredibly responsive and attentive, even checking in with us the next morning as we had let him know we’d be arriving late on our check in day. The house was adorable and comfortable, we look forward to renting in the future when we come up to see family.

This cozy little cabin was such a perfect little slice of heaven! Once the clouds cleared, we had the most amazing views of the sunset over the lake through all of the large picture windows that covered the entire lake side of the cabin. The gas fire stove was perfect to warm up the cabin quickly in the mornings as we were there when the temps got down into the 30s at night and we opted to keep the heat low overnight. If you plan to do meals in the cabin, take note that there is limited space for pantry items-easy access mobile storage that can be stowed on top of the refrigerator and under a bench is highly recommended. Additional tips would be to bring several gallons of drinking water, as the well has (at of the time of this review) unresolved hydrogen sulphide gas that causes the water to smell like rotten eggs.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this cabin! It was fully equipped with everything we needed and more—every detail was thoughtfully considered. The location was perfect: peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we wanted to explore. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. The amenities were top-notch, and the views were simply breathtaking. Whether we were relaxing inside or enjoying the outdoors, everything was just perfect. The hosts were incredibly attentive and responsive, making sure we had a seamless experience from start to finish. Highly recommend—this place exceeded all our expectations!

This is a beautiful cabin. It is very clean and well stocked. Lisa was very helpful and responsive to our request. The views were amazing! We enjoyed taking the boat out to watch the sunset. We are looking forward to another stay.

Our family of 4 loved staying a long weekend at this cabin - Michael, with team cabin, is a very gracious and thoughtful host! We mostly enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake and the natural surroundings from the large bay window and the deck. The kayaks were a big bonus, we all took turns exploring the lake. Watching the turtles, great blue herons, king fishers, ospreys and other birds by the water was awesome, and we spotted a black squirrel too! We went swimming a couple of times even if the lake can be a bit weedy. Cooking and grilling was easy with the help of the nicely stocked kitchen. Our last evening we got to witness a mesmerizing storm over the lake from the indoor coziness - so cool!
