Family-friendly holiday rentals in New Brighton

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.

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.

Your place was a perfect fit for our weekend plans! We could stay and relax, but also did activities in the Cities due to close proximity. Perfect fit and place to allow our fur baby to come along! THANK YOU!

It was even nicer than the photos, with a beautiful back yard, fun pool table, very clean. Jill was very responsive.

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.

Very fun place to stay! There was plenty of space and the pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable. The kids loved finding all the mini treehouses scattered throughout. The host stopped by and was very kind.

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.

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.

Very cute and peaceful place. It was very nice inside and easy to get to. If you have kids or pets it's the perfect little Airbnb. it has a very large backyard with a secure fence. It even has a swing set. Our dogs loved running around.

We had a great weekend staying at Philip's place!

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.

Another great stay! Super convenient, very quiet neighborhood. We so appreciate James’ flexibility in our check in!

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

Emily’s place is easily one of my favorite Airbnbs to date. It’s super cute, cozy, and extremely comfortable. Her place encompasses so many things I miss about Minneapolis - Nordeast specifically. It’s in such a prime spot, with abundant parking, in a gorgeous and welcoming neighborhood, with some of the neatest parts of the city right at your fingertips. I got the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a really long time. The bed is unbelievably comfortable, and the entire place is so incredibly peaceful, it’s impossible to not feel content and at home. Emily graciously accommodated a last-minute booking request, was very communicative, and kindly laid out all needed information, instructions, and expectations both in writing prior to arrival and in a thoughtful and helpful binder once inside. I truly appreciate not having to wonder or second-guess any little thing upon arrival or prior to departure. I’m just sad I was only there for such a short time; it just makes me want to return sooner!

The apartment was great! The neighborhood is very nice, beautiful, and walkable, very close to the university. The check-in was smooth. It was amazing for our weekend trip to the Twin Cities.

Fantastic stay. The loft is exactly as described. It is charming, comfortable, and has everything you would need, including a fully-stocked kitchen. The layout is great and it’s nicely decorated. The only thing better than the loft itself is the location! Walkable to the Lake and everything in Linden Hills. It was an easy drive to get anywhere else, but I loved the spots in the neighborhood so much that I wasn’t inclined to go far. Sebastian Joe’s (for coffee/scones and ice cream), Martina, and Picnic were favorites. I went to the lake to walk as often as possible, and it was an easy hop across the street. The hosts were super responsive and you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into the space. I would go back again in a heartbeat, and hope to have the chance to!

Nancy and Rick's place is tremendous! Very comfortable, well appointed, great amenities and the location was awesome. The place is spacious and cozy; bed was extremely comfortable. We love Minneapolis and will return here again. We loved walking/biking around the area (so easy!) with many restaurants and parks to visit. We've been to many, many AirBnbs; this is one of the best. We didn't see Rick but had a great chat with Nancy.

The place was gregarious, I really recommend it the place it’s very peaceful and it’s private that’s why we love the place. Caroline was very kind and friendly!

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.

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!

Alison's place is in a great location for a stay in the Uptown neighborhood. We had a wonderful short stay and enjoyed the lush and private back yard. Short walks to great restaurants and the lakes.

Tamara’s place was perfect- welcoming, clean, spacious, well-stocked, and right on the water. She even supplied life vests for the canoe we have access to. Loved staying here!

Victoria was a great host. The only complaint I would have would be the alarm system yelling you are being filmed. I understand the point and wasn’t worried about the security system: it just scared me half to death each time lol. I also was afraid of waking up other people by setting it off. Other than that it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend staying here.
