Holiday rentals with lake access in Carver County

Had a great girl’s weekend! Felt right at home, and the space was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed to relax! Access to the lake was a welcomed bonus!

Mia and family are great hosts and the house is as advertised. I highly recommend a stay here.

We had a fantastic stay! The home is beautiful and felt even nicer in person than the photos! Great walking distant to beach/lake and short drive to restaurants/downtown. Highly recommend for a getaway at the lake!

Lovely home with a pond in the back and walkable to the lake. The heated floors were great for the cold winter days. Nice open areas, everything is updated including the bathrooms. We visited many different sites in the surrounding cities but also enjoyed walking around the lakeside neighborhood.

That I can say I recommend it. This place is the best people. The place if you want something is the girls solve. And I recommend it if you want to save

A great value with an awesome 😎 view!

We loved out stay at John's place in Cottagewood. Great location, beautiful home, well stocked . . . perfect for our family of five. Would absolutely stay again!

Great lakefront stay! We went fishing and used the canoe, very peaceful! Host was nice and informative! Peaceful neighborhood!

The peaceful and beautiful location of this apartment, walkable to Harriet Lake, can’t be overstated. The unit itself is on the top floor of a charming older building, in a well-kept neighborhood graced with towering trees. The unit itself had everything I and my two adult children needed — very comfortable rooms and beds for all, a well-stocked kitchen, a bathroom where everything worked as it should (plenty of hot water), and of course, that gorgeous outdoor deck right off the living room, where we spent so much of our time. We plugged in the lights at night and it was magical. The location meant we were close enough to walk down to Harriet Lake and then run the 3-mile loop around, finishing the run off with a beer or a delicious ice cream at the Bread and Pickle, near the outdoor amphitheater where, if the stars align, you can find someone on stage singing about love, grief, and redemption. So many great restaurants all around. Khâluna was fantastic — don’t think, just go!

We stayed here for our wedding at Reeds and Rushes. We loved that we could stay the night before our wedding, too, so we didn't have to drive early in the morning. It was the perfect location as it is super close to the venue. Kelli was great with check-in and very responsive.

Location was convenient and in a cute neighborhood. The upstairs neighbors are quiet, but you can hear every footstep, since it's an older home with creaky and uneven floors. The second bedroom is quite small. But the home was clean and adequate for what we needed for a comfortable weekend stay.

Beautiful place, as described, and the little touches (food, snacks, etc) were very nice to have. Would recommend to anyone!

It was a great place to stay for the weekend

It's a great location on Lake Street, close to top restaurants such as 6Smith and a short walk to shops and the beautiful Wayzata Bay. The unit is spacious and just as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and plan to return.

This location was fantastic for our family of 3! The home is lovely, immediately felt comfortable and we were able to enjoy the outdoor deck area so much! For families, this is a fantastic location. 2 blocks to the beach, one block to nice park on a quiet street and the hosts were amazing at having the home baby proofed and ready for our arrival. Overall, it was the little touches and kind hosts that make this place truly stand out, can’t wait to visit again!

Jodi's place was the perfect house for our team to stay. We were in town for a conference at the convention center and house was about a 10 minute drive from the center, and we saved hundreds of dollars over is staying at a hotel in town. I would look to stay here again if I return to the Twin Cities.

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.

We stayed for an extended Super Bowl/birthday weekend and had a great time. Super responsive to messages when there was a very small issue and checked in multiple times to make sure all was well. We would love to go back in summer. Very efficient space for a large group and the new hot tub was a hit with everyone in our party. Thank you!

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...

Great space for an extended family stay. Enjoyed the great patio spaces, beautiful lake with kayak, well appointed kitchen, and large dining table and living room. Main floor was very accessible for family with a walker and they were able to navigate the few steps to the main patio too, but would be nice to have the main bathroom shower upgraded some day to be a more accessible walk in shower (there is a walk in shower upstairs). Host/brother very responsive to a few questions that came up.

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.

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!

Kammi was such a great hosts and person. Thank you again for another wonderful family vacation. Your home was we needed to relax. It was great to finally meet you.

Loved loved loved everything about the stay! Felt right at home, kitchen filled with all the amenities to make food for a big family. Ample seating options in and outside of the cottage. Lots of fun water activities available in and in great condition. Our first time utilizing a Blackstone, it was so convenient for cooking in big quantities. Britt was an amazing host! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!!
