Holiday rentals with lake access 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.

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.

Joanne was a great communicator and her home was lovely and perfect for a family gathering. We appreciated the tea and coffee she had available as well. We would stay again!

"Viewpoint" has alot to offer from the spectacular views towards the lake & beyond. Spacious kitchen & living area which includes a album collection enjoyed by all. Spent alot of time on the deck enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The Lutsen area has alot to offer and we definitely took advantage of some. The Red cabin was cute ! Overall our stay was very nice and fit our expectations . Thank you, till the next time..

We stayed at Cedar Cove for 5 nights with our extended family with an age range of 18 months to 80 years. This house is a perfect place for a multi generation get together. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the beautiful house and furnishings. There are multiple sitting areas and the beds are extremely comfortable. The view of Lake Superior is gorgeous. The house is very well equipped with all the kitchen ware we could have needed. It is also stocked with many good books, puzzles and games. It is a perfect place to get away and relax.

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

We are so thankful we booked The Nordic for our family getaway and can’t recommend it enough! It is located on a beautiful property surrounded by trees on a peaceful lake. It definitely had the secluded cabin feel we were looking for while also being only minutes from Nisswa, a cute little lake town for shopping, food, etc.! The home itself was beautiful, extremely clean, and styled so nicely! The Nordic checks all the boxes and more when it comes to thoughtful touches and amenities. We had the best time playing in the sand lakeside, paddle boarding, hot tubbing, having bonfires, sitting out on the patio, and utilizing the boat dock for our rental pontoon. The large kitchen and open concept made for a great atmosphere for cooking and hanging out. Tatum was super friendly and responsive prior to and throughout our stay for any questions we had! We definitely hope to stay again!

The house, location, and amenities available are absofreakinlutely magical. I will stay again if I'm ever in the area.

The peaceful and beautiful location of this apartment, walkable to Harriet Lake, can’t be overstated. The unit itself is on the top floor of a charming older building, in a well-kept neighborhood graced with towering trees. The unit itself had everything I and my two adult children needed — very comfortable rooms and beds for all, a well-stocked kitchen, a bathroom where everything worked as it should (plenty of hot water), and of course, that gorgeous outdoor deck right off the living room, where we spent so much of our time. We plugged in the lights at night and it was magical. The location meant we were close enough to walk down to Harriet Lake and then run the 3-mile loop around, finishing the run off with a beer or a delicious ice cream at the Bread and Pickle, near the outdoor amphitheater where, if the stars align, you can find someone on stage singing about love, grief, and redemption. So many great restaurants all around. Khâluna was fantastic — don’t think, just go!

Enjoyed our stay at Sydney’s place. She was very helpful and it was a cozy home! Lovely town and definitely need to try the smash burgers at Washington Square!

Not reflecting on the owners of the unit but the door leading to the deck was below our room. The door thudded loudly when it was open and closed.

If you are fortunate enough, to spend some time on Minnesota’s North Shore, you won’t be disappointed staying here. Brenda and Tom‘s place is exactly as described. It is more than we expected. It is clean, beautifully decorated, and a lovely place to spend a vacation. The location is perfect and so scenic! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and even spotted an Eagle! We had a wonderful time hiking and exploring the surrounding area, including Gooseberry Falls, Grand Marais, and the quaint town of Two Harbors.

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

I was on the road for 23 hours before finally arriving at Tina’s. It was my first time to Minnesota and I am very glad that I chose her place for my family and I. It was peaceful, clean, quiet and very homely. We slept so soundly. It felt as though I hadn’t left home in how at peace we were. Tina responded to any queries I had promptly. I was clean, the kitchen is well equipped, and the bathroom is very clean. The only downside for me was that I didn’t book her place for a longer time. I am definitely going back for a longer visit. If you’re still reading this please book already before someone else takes your dates. You won’t regret it one bit! 😀

It was exactly as it was described. A beautiful studio with easy beach access on both sides. Very clean and with great access to all of the things that Duluth has to offer!

This location was fantastic for our family of 3! The home is lovely, immediately felt comfortable and we were able to enjoy the outdoor deck area so much! For families, this is a fantastic location. 2 blocks to the beach, one block to nice park on a quiet street and the hosts were amazing at having the home baby proofed and ready for our arrival. Overall, it was the little touches and kind hosts that make this place truly stand out, can’t wait to visit again!

Excellent stay! Love the environmental consciousness—dual flush toilet, refillable Keurig pods, recycling, etc. Beautiful site, right on the pond with wildlife: deer, ducks, eagles. Special location for sure. Lovely!

John and Carna were phenomenal hosts. You can tell lots of thought was put into the experience and the studio was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

We loved the quaint cottage. It was so lovely listening to the birds in the morning and walking through the cottage garden. Home was clean with great instructions. We loved reading about the history and seeing the old pieces of furniture and silver pieces. Host even baked us cornbread muffins, left granola bars and snacks, and a small jar of raw honey. It was such a lovely stay and we definitely do it again.

We have stayed at Little House several times before and it is always a wonderful experience. I would say it's our favorite Airbnb location in the Twin Cities and if it's available to book, we always do!

Very beautiful place to relax and get away from everyday life. Great fishing and lots of cool wildlife to see and listen to. Very beautiful sky at night. Very nice house inside and out. Stocked with pretty much anything you will need. Would highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy, relaxing, cabin getaway, this is your place! Saw and heard loons every day/night, which is always cool. Very easy to relax and enjoy the surrounding wildlife and scenery, highly recommend!

We always appreciate the peaceful surroundings and view of the lake. Guests are quiet. Perfect for families where kids can play, swim and fish off the docks.

Such a great place to stay with our extended family! Matched the description perfectly! Our toddlers loved watching the boats go by!
