Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Minnesota

I stayed in this sweet little bungalow while visiting my son, daughter-in-law and my new baby grand-daughter. I couldn’t have picked a more perfect home base. From the moment I arrived, the place felt like a warm hug. It’s soft, quiet, and full of charm. Everything inside is thoughtfully arranged and fully equipped.—from complete kitchen to a very comfortable bedroom with a king-sized bed and a flat screen tv on the wall. The living space was cozy and inviting, a gorgeous couch with soft blankets and a gentle atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a joyful (and sometimes exhausting!) day of baby cuddles and family time. It was close enough to visit my family each day with ease, but still offered a peaceful space to retreat to and recharge. It truly felt like a little sanctuary. For any family coming to town to be near loved ones, this bungalow is the perfect spot.

We had an awesome stay. The home was clean, comfortable and very peaceful. We particularly enjoyed the patio and fire pit, using it in the morning to enjoy our coffee and in the evening to watch the sunset. The location was great, secluded but close enough to the main highway to make the drive to the state parks and Duluth easy. We would definitely like to make a return visit sometime in the future!

This place was perfect for our family of 5. Secluded property with a view of the lake. The igloo was perfect for early morning coffee and card games in the evening. Host were great to deal with as well.

Doug, your place became one of my favorites. Unforgettable and your audio system … love at first listen. It was everything I could hope for. Thank you

Deborah's place was an extremely whimsical and beautiful place to wake up in, free of mosquitoes and bugs. It had all the utilities a cottage needs—making it a great romantic getaway for couples.

Very nice experience. It was an unbelievablely beautiful house (photos don't do it justice). The hosts were friendly and helpful.

The pictures do not do this place justice it is beautiful and peaceful!! Will absolutely stay again and longer next time. Wonderful hosts.

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!

The place was very clean and nicely furnished, and Bill was a very kind and responsive communicator with any questions we had. Downtown location was great, close to so much. Would definitely stay again and recommend!

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

I absolutely have nothing negative to say! This place was exactly as described. It was super cozy, immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, full of amenities, and the owners were beyond quick with their communication. Five stars!!

We loved our stay — we only wish our trip was much longer! Sara’s place was perfect for our quick overnighter to the cities. She was very easy to chat with and get help from, and she really wanted to serve us well! An amazingly cute place that’s just the right size for a couple! Loved it! Hoping to return someday!

What a wonderful spot in St. Paul! We loved the location (everything we wanted was walkable), the BnB (immaculate space, beautiful design, quiet, private, well-cared for), great coffee (did we mention the coffee?!), and the host (Jean-Claude made us feel right at home the moment we arrived and was responsive and communicative to any of our needs - the best host!) We can’t wait to stay during our next trip to the Twin Cities.

We loved our stay at Katie’s place. She was super kind and helpful. The place was just as described and very close to Mayo Clinic for my md appts. So much better than staying in a hotel. Thank you Katie

This was such a nice place. Very pretty. The snacks and breakfast items were a perfect extra touch!

Located in a nice area. The wildlife you see is great, and their outdoor cats are very sweet. Clean space, and very responsive hosts. Can’t wait to be back next time we have appointments at the Mayo!

The accommodation was excellent, very comfortable I felt at home and we were able to explore incredible places thanks to his recommendations! I hope to return soon.

We loved our stay here! The location is super convenient, the unit was easy to get in and out of, there was ample parking, and the unit was very clean. As a light sleeper, I felt that the building was nice and quite.

I'm not one for words but it was absolutely spectacular plenty of room for a family of five super quiet and absolutely gorgeous scenery. Will definitely book again as soon as I can.

Christine’s place was the tranquility that we were looking for! The unit is located at the end of the building which made it so very easy to unload! You could sit inside and enjoy the views of the water or you had the choice of sitting outside at a high top table or relax adirondack chairs! It was a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and a book! The inside was so comfortable and cozy! We didn’t use the fireplace but on a cold fall or winter night it would have been amazing! The kitchen is stalked with a great cookware set and knives that we took good advantage of! There is also a well stocked spice rack & seasoning drawer. Being right on the water was a huge perk and the ability to walk down the stairs to the rocks was incredible. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit! The 3 nights went so quickly and we were not ready to come home. Thank you again Christine!

We very much enjoyed our stay; hosted by Missy and Scott. The property is serene and beautiful, and we enjoyed spending time outdoors and observing the wildlife that included ducks, geese, turtles, squirrels, deer, woodpeckers, and butterflies. Inside, our hosts had prepared for everything we could need. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and cookware, and the bathroom and sleeping areas are clean and comfortable. Missy and Scott were prompt to respond to any messages, and provided some tailored recommendations that added to our enjoyment of the area. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone who wants quick access to outdoor adventure while also offering all the indoor comforts.

We felt so welcome and at home for our week stay. Beautiful views and the pool/hot tub/sauna/game room is always great for our family! We had an amazing time and will be back!

This was a great place for our family, right on the lake. We were close to lots of parks and hiking trails. Quick drive to restaurants and shops. There was plenty of space and the indoor pool was a great spot for our kids.

Melanie’s place was incredible! The unit was meticulously designed and thoughtfully curated. Clean and organized as well. The waterfront access/views did not disappoint and getting in and out was easy! We hope to visit again!
