Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Minnesota

We had an amazing time at Tamara’s beautiful cottage. Everything inside this little gem was perfect —the furniture, the decor, the appliances, the bedroom, the front porch. We absolutely loved the location and had a great time walking and biking around the lakes, and also just hanging out on the porch drinking some & listening to music thx to nice BT speaker Tamara was a perfect host, made us feel very welcome immediately. We will definitely be back!

The place is very nice and the view is amazing. The kitchen is full of all the utensils and pots and pans you would want to cook anything. Troy was also great at communicating. The grill outside was great. We would go back and highly recommend the place to anyone looking to experience northern MN.

Extraordinarily beautiful! What a peaceful place to stay and creatively constructed. We hope to return soon! Douglas, thank you for being such a kind and generous host!

This place was fantastic! Exactly what we were looking for on our getaway trip. Quiet location to relax and enjoy the hot tub in the evenings. Quick trip to town for anything. Will definitely be back!!

We stayed here for our wedding in May of 2024 at Hope Glen, and decided we needed to book it through AirBnB for our one year anniversary because we loved it so much. It's so cozy and just an overall wonderful experience staying in a treehouse! The bed is super comfy too

Second stay here and I almost hesitate to give a review because it's a secret I'd like to keep to myself for the particular week of the year I've come up! I don't want someone else to snag it for next time! ;) Beautiful, clean, practical, excellent location if your intention is to enjoy the parks.

This is our second year staying here. It has been a great stay both times!

Our stay at Agua Norte was absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Loft and loved the space. It’s exactly as described and the property is even more beautiful than the pictures. So close to the town and other great things to do but feels very private and secluded. It is a shared property but still feels private with each space. We loved it so much we didn’t even do all the adventuring we planned because we just loved being there! The Sauna was also wonderful, easy to book, and had a stunning view. We would absolutely come back!

One of the rare times I felt the place looked better than the photos! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely book again when in Minneapolis. I felt right at home, it was clean, comfortable bed, easy check-in. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, the university, Stone Arch Bridge. Very good value for the price I paid. Note that there isn’t a washer/dryer in unit, rather the building had a room, use quarters.

I enjoyed my visit at Beth's, stayed for a week and the bed was super comfortable! Great value, I highly recommend!

My friend and I have stayed here twice now for writing retreats and just love it. First of all the aesthetics and design are just right on with lovely natural light, no clutter, and high end choices. Everything is functional and beautiful and comfortable. I am amazed at the hosts ability to design a space. Second of all, the coffee shop downstairs is so great and has a great vibe. It is also right on a hiking trail. For a writing retreat, it was perfect.

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

I would rate a 10 if it was an option. I stayed for over a week and Berni's place worked out perfect in so many ways. It had everything I needed including plenty of space to store my things in the kitchen and bedroom. The place and furniture were well taken care of and the linens were clean and fresh. The place flowed very well so I always felt like I was in a home versus a 'space'. The location was peaceful, very walk-able, close to a local trail that interconnected with the city, and I felt very safe in the area. Berni was an amazing host, very personable, and responded very quickly when I reached out to her. I felt very welcome (including the delicious bread she left for me at arrival) and she treated me more than a mere airbnb renter. She was quick to recommend places that may be of interest to me as well. I would definitely stay again. In fact, her place is going on the top of my list.

The pictures do not do this air bnb justice. We loved this air bnb and one of the best we have stayed in. The home is nice and inviting. It was super clean and everything worked as it should. The air bnb was nicely done and didn’t have any squeaky floors. The residence is separate from the main hosts. They will wave and say hi but they are not a bother. They are responsive as well. There is WiFi from 6am-10 pm, which wasn’t an issue for us. With most air bnbs, they give 1 roll of toilet paper but there are stores within 6 miles. Theres lot of parks and shopping in the area and it’s a safe neighborhood. There is a love seat in the living room. The only small complaint is the bed is not as pictured. My husband is very tall and does not fit in bed with a footboard. The bed in the listing showed one without a footboard but when we got there, there was a different bed frame. Not a huge issue though and we made it work.

John and Zinaida’s place was very clean and comfortable. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again!

Had a great 3 night stay! The apartment was comfortable and felt safe. The neighborhood was great- walkable and some delicious recommended restaurants nearby. Would definitely suggest for solo travelers or couples!!

We loved our stay at this charming, clean and comfortable unit. The location was great, close to the Macalester campus, coffee shops and other local spots. Also Jean-Claude was a responsive and kind host. We would definitely come back!

A very well designed space for a family of four- nice deck and walk down to the rocks by Lake Superior. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed! We’d definitely reserve again!

This was my first visit to the North Shore (WOW!) and Mikhala's space made it perfect! The view of Lake Superior was stunning and I enjoyed having morning coffee on the walkout patio. The space was very clean and the bed super comfortable. I appreciated the well stocked toilet paper, paper towels, soap, towels, blankets, and pillow options. Tofte was a great central hub for all the hiking trails on my bucket list + Grand Marais was an easy/beautiful drive and I highly recommend eating at the Angry Trout - it was best meal I've had in a very long time! I loved it here so much I extended my stay an extra night. Highly recommend, especially if a solo traveler like me.

Such an amazing spot for a weekend getaway. This place matched the description and pictures 100%. Beautiful area with so much to do!

We really enjoyed our time in Two Harbors. The location of this property was nice and secluded. We enjoyed the geese, walking trails, sauna, community room, and overall atmosphere. Missy was very quick, responsive, and kind. Thank you, God Bless!

We were looking for a place to stay as a family of 4 visiting the city and exploring local parks. Everything we explored was well within 20 minutes of this place. Our two boys (5 and 3) had a blast. This space is very accommodating for families. There were kids toys and books as well as outdoor toys/balls for our boys to play with. Grown ups enjoyed sitting on the deck after the kids went to bed soaking up the nature scenery. Jeanne’s cat Benny would greet us outside as we came and went. He certainly was a highlight of our trip and was so sweet. We will definitely be back!

Abby and Zach were excellent hosts! She provided thorough information on the check in as well as little things to know about the space. I appreciated the mid-stay "I hope all is going well" communication, and it was aj added bonus to meet them up in the common area while we were there - super nice and helpful folks. Also? This may be one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in while traveling! Thanks again for sharing a fantastic space in a beautiful location with us.

This Airbnb was great. Had everything that we needed within a beautiful condo space. Access to the lake and hot tub was great.
