Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Saint Croix River

Just what we needed for the eve of my brothers River Burial. We were able to gather, talk, cook dinner and spend time before the emotional day ahead. Even with the rain we were able to enjoy the view and outdoors through the great windows. Thank you!

Sunset Shores is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we had found something special. The home is beautifully updated with a clean, modern design that still manages to feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. Every detail has been so thoughtfully considered — it’s clear that Sarah, the hosts, take great pride in offering an exceptional guest experience. The location was absolutely beautiful. Nestled in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but right on the Mississippi River, it offered the perfect balance of privacy and natural beauty. It was truly lovely to sit out on the deck or in the three-season porch and watch the river go by. The calming sound of the water and the serene surroundings made it easy to relax and unwind. I do not have enough space here to write everything I want about how wonderful this home was but I will just say Sarah the host was amazing to work with the houses and location are beautiful and I look very much forward to a future stay here.

Great cozy cottage with resort amenities. We used the canoe and kayak and brought out own kayaks at the private lakes. Lots of quiet roads to bike and little destinations to get to - pool, beach, restaurant, golf course. We swam everyday in the lake or at the pool. Great location to explore- so many great little towns from St. Croix Falls to Danbury to Balsalm Lake to Spooner with a lot of food choices. We even caught a ton of panfish ( but threw most back) and had a fresh- caught meal.

We had an amazing stay! The home was spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed—exactly like the photos, but even better in person. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub—clean, private, and perfect for relaxing after long days of exploring. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing clear instructions and thoughtful touches throughout our stay. Everything we needed was there—from soft towels and comfy beds to a well-stocked kitchen. The location was quiet and peaceful. Whether you’re here to unwind or adventure, this spot is a perfect home base. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything we needed. Loved the plants! We hope to stay again.

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.

Joan, John and Tucker were exceptional hosts! Our stay was everything we needed after a long day of traveling. Joan was super responsive. Her and John were so accommodating for us and our pup! The yard was amazing, so private, we had a fire and let our pup explore the yard. The hummingbirds were a bonus to watch. Their place was super clean, had all we needed and more and was so quiet and peaceful. It was a bonus our pups got to play with each other, our pup enjoyed it so much, he hardly wanted to leave! Highly recommend!

A great place to stay. A well kept farm house. The communication with the host was excellent.

My stay was very pleasant ☺️ The location was perfect. Its 10 minutes away from Duluth. I was able to explore the South Shore and go to The Anchor Bar easily. Everything was very clean and tidy. Worth every penny. I will definitely stay here again. ❤️

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.

Bob & Lisa’s home was very beautiful & we felt right at home! Bob came out & greeted us soon as we got there, showed us around, & we’re always willing to help if needed! They are such wonderful hosts! We’ll definitely be back in the future!(:

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!

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!!

This cozy apartment was just what we were looking for. It was very clean and well decorated. It had a refrigerator which I didn’t notice in the listing. The host provided snacks, essential toiletries, and games. We had a question for the host during our stay and they responded quickly. We had a great stay!

Sara's place was beautiful, private and clean. In a nice neighborhood close to everything. She was also super sweet, helpful and responsive. The ideal place to stay if you need a peaceful getaway!

So great that we came here a second time! This property is a slice of heaven. Gorgeous sunset views. Kayaks and paddle boats were perfect for our young family being able to paddle to the sand bars and enjoy the lake. “Serenity” is such a perfect description. We will be back again next summer, Lord willing!

Excellent condo beautiful surroundings great weather very good trip

Anna's apartment was absolutely beautiful. It was so clean. There are cute ice trays in the freezer which I very much enjoyed. The apartment is very bright and beautiful with it's tall ceilings. The apartment is next to a bar, but there is a noise machine and a TV in the bedroom to help with noise, that wasn't even that bad. I will definitely be recommending her place to anyone who plans on going to the Chequamegon Bay area.

My husband and parents and I were in town for the weekend to visit our daughter. The area was perfect and centrally located for us. The condo was clean and well kept. Jason was very responsive to questions I had regarding parking. I just wish the weather would have nicer to use the outdoor deck! I would say the only downfall (and no fault of the owner) is that it was a bit noisy at night with people outside. However, when going to a city that is expected.

Wonderful place to stay. It was easy to find. I didn’t like that you could not check in early unless you paid $50. We wandered the streets until it was time to check in. It was beautiful place to stay and we had plenty of room. We would stay there again. Hosts responded in a reasonable time regarding the one problem that we had.

Karen’s place had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like home. The park right in front of the house made evening walks especially enjoyable. I’d recommend it to other guests!

We had a great stay at Marie's. We appreciated the unexpected bonus of being able to check in a bit early. There was ample space and it was a unique building. We enjoyed eating dinner on the back porch and walking to get breakfast and Italian pastries. We'd absolutely stay again.

We loved staying here! This was a very comfortable apartment for two of us and it’s spacious enough to be comfortable for more guests too. I especially appreciated the full working kitchen, high efficiency laundry facilities, and great temperature controls, lots of very soft throw blankets, and ample WiFi. We both worked from the apartment and sometimes both had Zoom meetings at once, and there was never an issue. We hope to be back! This place is a keeper.

This was our second time booking with Lisa, however for a different unit. Again, it was a great stay. I enjoyed the coziness of this condo and quietness of the neighborhood despite being in the city. She has everything you need for cooking and baking. I work remotely and the internet speed was great. The bed was super comfortable. I appreciated the on-site laundry too. Everyone was friendly overall!
