Family-friendly holiday rentals in Crystal

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.

Peaceful neighborhood, some noise heard from where host lives upstairs (just FYI in case this would be a factor for guests). Hospitable host with local recommendations. He informed us that the last guests had an accident with the ping pong table so that was not available but we enjoyed the pool table & hot tub. He also informed us that the pizza oven takes about 3 hrs to prep & 2 bundles of wood & is best for bulk pizza making. The master suite has a beautiful view of the backyard with water features. The o redhead fairy lights outside are a plus in the evening. Overall, a positive experience with Eric. I frequent Airbnb’s and would recommend this one.

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!

A beautiful and well kept home very quiet neighborhood, pet friendly we love the fact that the master bedroom was on a separate wing. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and plenty of bathrooms.

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.

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, stay, and host were all excellent! Everything was great, but we specifically appreciated the things that made it feel like a real home and not a rental unit. The entire house was really clean, the kitchen was well-stocked (even with some drinks and snacks for us!), and the backyard was incredible. We felt really comfortable in the house and had an amazing time.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I am in awe at how impeccably this home resonated with my needs and soul. As you step into the porch, the scent of summer childhoods spent at lakeside cabins envelops you, evoking feelings of serenity and oneness with nature. Upon entering the home, it's as if you've stumbled upon a treasure trove of memories and stories from bygone eras, each one lovingly crafted and imbued with the beauty of the human spirit. From the exquisite pottery to the intricate quilts, stunning artwork, and beautifully crafted wood pieces, every detail is a testament to the transformative power of love and creativity. And let's not forget the freshly baked banana bread, a sweet reminder that this home is a sanctuary of warmth and hospitality that nourishes both body and spirit. It's a place where rest and rejuvenation come alive in the most enchanting way imaginable, an Airbnb experience that will forever be etched in my memory, and a reminder of the beauty and magic that awaits us when we choose to see 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!

We feel lucky that this place was available for our visit to the Twin Cities for a college graduation. This home was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could think of! The location was convenient to coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, and yet in a quiet neighborhood.

A great place. Cozy but spacious. Super clean. We didn’t arrive until after 10 PM, but Susan was fine with that.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the place was. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel like a true home away from home. The location was perfect for enjoying peaceful evenings on the back patio overlooking the pond. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, providing helpful tips and local recommendations. I appreciated all the thoughtful Minnesota touches throughout the home, from cozy throw blankets to well-equipped kitchenette! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this gem in Eden Prairie MN.

Such a lovely place to stay while working in office for the week. Loved the communication and the location was perfection. Really amazing hosts! 10 outta 10! Highly recommend!

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.
