Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Forest Lake

We were very happy with the accommodations! The smores kit, sparklers, sunscreen, bug spray, fire wood, extra propane and so much were so helpful! It was a beautiful place and we could have sat outside all day and night long!

Sunset Shores is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we had found something special. The home is beautifully updated with a clean, modern design that still manages to feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. Every detail has been so thoughtfully considered — it’s clear that Sarah, the hosts, take great pride in offering an exceptional guest experience. The location was absolutely beautiful. Nestled in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but right on the Mississippi River, it offered the perfect balance of privacy and natural beauty. It was truly lovely to sit out on the deck or in the three-season porch and watch the river go by. The calming sound of the water and the serene surroundings made it easy to relax and unwind. I do not have enough space here to write everything I want about how wonderful this home was but I will just say Sarah the host was amazing to work with the houses and location are beautiful and I look very much forward to a future stay here.

This rental truly feels premium and was a great choice for our long weekend getaway! The theming was tastefully extended to every corner of the place without feeling too overdone. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for cooking our meals. Downstairs in the speakeasy and hidden entertainment room is where the place truly feels special! We loved spending time down there and it was really cool to find the room hidden behind the bookshelf. There was a cozy coffee shop within walking distance that we went to every morning and a locally famous drive-in that we tried on our last and would recommend. We can easily say this is a good fit for anyone looking for a quiet and fun rental in a great location!

The house was nice. Pictures were accurate. The neighbors are friendly.

Great place! Little smaller than what the pictures look like but overall it was amazing & we had an amazing time!

We stayed at this house for a long weekend at the end of May. The weather was beautiful and we were able to enjoy time outside. The extra items inside the house were above and beyond (laundry soap, coffee beans, phone chargers connected in the bedrooms. The house was very clean and looked like the photos. There was also a double washer/dryer and lots of pool towels. Zach & Betsy were very responsive from the time we booked the rental until the time we checked out. We can’t wait to visit again and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in or around Chisago City.

Michael was great host. He was very responsive to my many questions and made some nice recommendations!

The cabin was just as described and pictured. The location was an easy commute for a weekend stay. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked. We caught fish off the dock and enjoyed the kayaks. It was a great cabin for our family gathering!

Awesome place! Mujahid and Valerie were wonderful hosts. I would absolutely stay there again!!

This was a great space. Comfortable beds and furniture, and some great restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. Totally great space! No complaints at all.

Bob & Lisa’s home was very beautiful & we felt right at home! Bob came out & greeted us soon as we got there, showed us around, & we’re always willing to help if needed! They are such wonderful hosts! We’ll definitely be back in the future!(:

Very nicely appointed loft type apartment in historic building. Walkable to Children’s Minnesota and many other sites

We had a quick 1 night stay at Sara’s place, and it was perfect. The space is beautifully decorated and exactly what we needed to relax and recharge before our drive home. Sara’s recommendations for food and coffee were also spot on so that was an added perk!

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

Roger and Vicki were responsive, friendly hosts. They were eager to ensure that we had everything we needed and flexible in working with us for check-in and check-out. We even received some homemade baked goods, a delightful bonus 😊 The unit was comfy and well-appointed. We loved the ability to allocate our rental donation at the Shelter with a Cause. As an added plus, we got to shelter in the basement with the hosts and some of their family members when the tornado sirens sounded just minutes after our arrival! We appreciated being taken care of so well 😊

John and Zina are terrific hosts and the space is perfect for a weekend getaway. It's well appointed and comfortable. Easy walking distance from Minneapolis Institute of Art, Eat Street restaurants, and shopping. Nice access to biking trails, too. Highly recommended!

This place was exactly what we needed. Super responsive hosts (within 10 min every time!). We felt right at home. Fast WiFi for work, beautiful and great location for restaurants, bike paths and even some clubs near by. We were very happy with our stay. Can’t wait to stay again.

My husband and parents and I were in town for the weekend to visit our daughter. The area was perfect and centrally located for us. The condo was clean and well kept. Jason was very responsive to questions I had regarding parking. I just wish the weather would have nicer to use the outdoor deck! I would say the only downfall (and no fault of the owner) is that it was a bit noisy at night with people outside. However, when going to a city that is expected.

Karen’s place had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like home. The park right in front of the house made evening walks especially enjoyable. I’d recommend it to other guests!

There was one issue with the tub and bath sink drain. They had someone out the next morning. Very responsive. The communication was also very good, again very responsive with any questions I had.

Second time staying here and we love it for a girls trip! Located right downtown. Stay was great lots of bedding. Only downside was the upstairs patio was under construction and that was never mentioned prior to checkin. Was a bummer because we were all excited to sit out there the first night as it was a beautiful Minnesota spring day. Otherwise stay was great!!!

This was a very cute place, I can definitely see it being a fun place for a large group! The trains could be a little noisy at night, but that can’t be helped. Earplugs are an easy solution for light sleepers. Otherwise, this was such a cute and unique standout from so many other airbnbs in this area.

We took a few days off to explore the twin cities and used the Airbnb as our base. The hosts were wonderful and were very proactive to ensure we had a great stay. The house was exactly as described, very comfortable, and also had all of the amenities we needed. Overall great place, great hosts! I would stay there again.

We loved staying here! This was a very comfortable apartment for two of us and it’s spacious enough to be comfortable for more guests too. I especially appreciated the full working kitchen, high efficiency laundry facilities, and great temperature controls, lots of very soft throw blankets, and ample WiFi. We both worked from the apartment and sometimes both had Zoom meetings at once, and there was never an issue. We hope to be back! This place is a keeper.
