Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bloomington

My family and I selected Aaron and Colleen as hosts based on their five-star rating and safe location. However, we received more than what was expected. The first day, we were met with a personalized note, chocolates, and drinks in the fridge, including homemade cold brew! Such a thoughtful touch made us feel right at home. We were busy with family activities in the city, so we didn’t use the Peloton, hot tub, or sauna as expected. Still, returning to immaculate, extremely comfortable, stylish accommodation was lovely. The mattress was perfect! We also enjoyed listening to various records on the record player while playing cards and board games; it felt nostalgic. We enjoyed our stay, to say the least, and hope to revisit our experience at some future time.

This is by far the cleanest Airbnb ever. Since we are a group of snorers, we had to try out the 2 couches in the adorable nooks and they were perfect. Appreciated the electrical outlets. All typical travel issues that I usually encounter were solved here. Stay at Aaron and Colleen’s. You won’t regret it.

Great place. Eric had wonderful recommendations for walkable restaurants and other things to do in the area. The yard and garage area were a hit. Very friendly host.

Great place to stay! Easy to get around Minneapolis. This is the best stocked, most organized rental we have ever been to. Sarah has truly thought of everything to make your stay the best.

This well-equipped home is the perfect base for exploring Minneapolis. It's convenient to lots of activities and restaurants, but a tranquil spot to relax with plenty of space both inside and outside. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed the experience of the tree house. Very clean, everything we needed to stay was there,kitchen,bathrooms,accessories. Beautiful setting,fun experience.

The hosts, Katie and Curt, were very friendly and responsive. The hot tub on the patio was a big bonus. I also enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and watching the trolley go by through the woods ($3 to take the short historic ride). And just a few minutes to walk to Lake Harriet pavilion to take in some live music or walk around the lake. I’m excited to come back sometime for this relaxing get-away!

Amy Jo was a wonderful host and we felt right at home! The home was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy, and my little one had a blast playing with the toys and watching the ducks on the pond. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

What a charming, cozy and spotless cottage in a very private setting! The description was on point! Very quiet, wonderful neighbors and accessible to parks, restaurants, shopping, etc. Communication with the host was excellent with any concerns! She was lovely to chat with. I would definitely book again! Susan C.

The house was charming, and had lots of amenities. The kitchen had more pots and pans, silverware, appliances than I’ve ever seen at any other Airbnb where we’ve stayed. It was awesome!! Having use of the garage is also rare, and it was so convenient. We were there in the spring, and it would be really helpful in the winter. Kudos to excellent hosts for making the atmosphere so friendly and warm.

Josh & Layl’s place is exactly the kind of quirky, character-filled place we love to stay when traveling. The apartment is full of art, books, and games. We are part of a large extended family and the dining table was inviting for long talks and laughter. The location was fantastic for us as we could walk to a cousin’s home and the Windom Park. Holy Land is always a favorite and it’s practically next door. 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful bungalow in a quiet, residential area of Minneapolis. It was a relaxing spot to return to after a busy day in the city. We also enjoyed how close the location is to the restaurants and shops at 50th and France.

The place was solid. We loved the location and loved that we could bring our doggies along w us. The kitchen pretty much had everything you could need, and the bathroom was even stocked with sanitary supplies, which I thought was a sweet touch. The house is wacky, but in a cool good way. I’d be back for sure.

I'm a repeat visitor to this darling apartment. Couldn't recommend it enough!

We had a wonderful stay at Jean-Claude’s! It is a beautiful place inside & out. We enjoyed that it was walkable (roughly a mile from Palace Theatre, shorter distances to coffee & restaurants, and Summit Avenue is a gorgeous walk of old mansions). Jean-Claude is an excellent host! We hope to be back someday!

My husband and I and our dogs enjoyed our stay at Brenda's place. It was clean, peaceful, easy to find, and we loved the wood floors and the colorful kitchen. The beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood is gorgeous. Brenda was proactive with instructions and very friendly. We would happily stay here again! :)

Charle's place was perfect for a recent family trip to Minneapolis. It very comfortably fits 3-4 people, in a lovely and walkable residential area. It was plenty quiet, with noise machines in the bedrooms and amenities as listed. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone.

I loved staying at Brenda’s place! My only regret was not being able to stay longer. Brenda was so very helpful even lending me her own personal cookware since I had a lot of baking to do! The yard is gorgeous and the neighborhood has so many attractions within walking distance! Try staying g here-you’ll love it!

We’ve stayed in a number of Airbnbs in Minneapolis/St Paul, and Daniel’s definitely stands out. The apartment is sunny and spacious, with a big and well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom is lovely, and taking a bath at the end of a long day was fantastic! Daniel was responsive and very easy to work with. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thanks, Daniel!

Walking into this adorable cottage and being welcomed by a most pleasant scent and soft music in the background was the beginning of a perfect long weekend at Matthew's place. This home is absolutely immaculate and so comfortable. Actually this is the nicest home we've stayed in with Airbnb. The personal touches are evident in every room and very much appreciated! We visit our son in North Hudson a couple of times a year and this will definitely be our 'go to' place when planning our trips. Trust me, you won't be disappointed staying in Matthew's cottage.

This was our 4th stay at Mel and John’s place. One our favorite Airbnbs. Very friendly hosts who are super responsive. Apartment has a fully stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare meals. Lovely neighborhood with great access to a large park with lots of great trails and access to other parks. Easy access for the Minnesota state fair

Enjoyed our stay! Cozy and convenient for our family (my parents, my husband and myself) while in Minneapolis for our son’s graduation. Easy access to MSP Airport to pick up/drop off family, good restaurants nearby and easy to get to UMN campus area. The space was clean and comfortable. The backyard would have been wonderful to hangout in if the weather had cooperated. May in the Midwest is always an adventure. The neighborhood is beautiful!

Great location, easy street parking, and there is everything you need in the apartment though it is quite small.

I chose this rental for its convenient central location in a lovely neighborhood and many amenities within walking distance. Rental unit is well-equipped: bed was quite comfortable other furnishings were cozy. During my stay, it was not warm enough to sit on the secluded patio but I enjoyed the view and the privacy of that outdoor space.
