Holiday rentals with a kayak in Twin Cities

A great place to stay! Really enjoyed the comfortable accommodations and amenities! A very convenient place for us to stay while visting family in Big Lake. Hope we can book Anna's place again in the future!

Kelly’s place was perfect for our needs. The two living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out, which made the stay especially comfortable. The view of the pond was peaceful and beautiful—a lovely backdrop. Everything we needed was provided, and the space was clean, cozy, and well-appointed. The workspace was also ideal for a member of our group. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return!

We decided on Stillwater as a fun place to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our two kids from Oregon and Colorado. We were specifically looking for a place that was in a beautiful setting near water. Bryan's listing was a perfect match! We loved watching the birds at the feeders, enjoyed time on the patio and enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace in the evening. Lots of large windows let us gaze at the incredible view of the lake. We invited a few local friends and family to join us for an anniversary open house and Byran put extra leaves in the dining table and got out folding chairs for our guests before we arrived. He was so considerate of our plans! We had the best celebration ever and know that anyone who chooses to book this vacation spot will absolutely love it! Tom & Debbe from Iowa

Booked a stay with some friends for a long weekend at the lake and Heidi’s place was absolutely perfect! She was always responsive, and well prepared with everything we needed from towels to basic kitchen utensils and everything in between. The hot tub was a huge perk and we also had fun taking the kayaks out on the lake. Definitely would recommend booking with Heidi for anyone looking for a relaxing escape near the twin cities!

This was a fantastic place to stay. It is right on the river and is in a very quiet neighborhood. There is a wonderful dock with the place and there is a marina with boat ramp and rentals about 500 feet away. We fished off of the dock all week and caught Drum, Walleye, and Perch. Hudson WI is 5 minutes away and Stillwater MN is about 15 minutes away. Both towns are full of good restaurants and shops.

Kitchen fully stocked, numerous cozy sitting areas, screened sunroom, games, linens exceptional, lovely back yard at lake with kayaks, life jackets, pool table. This home fulfilled everything we could have asked for. Great communication

We had a great stay for graduation weekend!! The house is spacious and easily accommodated our group of 7. The location is fantastic — a lake and walking/running trail is just across the street. Some of the furniture is a bit dated and we would have appreciated a king bed in the primary suite, rather than 2 full size beds. But I get trying to maximize the beds in the houses otherwise all was perfect! Kitchen was well equipped and easy to use, laundry available and communication with William was easy and very responsive. I’m not sure I’ll be back in St Paul again, but if I am I would definitely stay again!

So much better than a hotel - my family put together a puzzle, had a fire by the lake, played games with laughter and privacy, Grampa took a nap on the screen porch, money saved by cooking and had fun doing it in a kitchen ready for anything! Everything we needed was there and more- plus labels made even light switches clear at first glance! The best comment was - "I could stay here a week!" - and the photos will be memory keepers of birds in the trees and deer across the lake and mostly my family caring for one another.

Great space for an extended family stay. Enjoyed the great patio spaces, beautiful lake with kayak, well appointed kitchen, and large dining table and living room. Main floor was very accessible for family with a walker and they were able to navigate the few steps to the main patio too, but would be nice to have the main bathroom shower upgraded some day to be a more accessible walk in shower (there is a walk in shower upstairs). Host/brother very responsive to a few questions that came up.

we loved our stay here! the home was so cozy & felt like the perfect ‘home away from home’ for our long weekend! we loved how it was right on the water. we didn’t end up having great weather, so we didn’t get to take advantage of outdoor amenities, but loved that there was a fire pit, grill & outdoor seating overlooking the water :) beautiful space, views & lots of natural light! we enjoyed buffalo books & forget me not cafe in downtown buffalo which was about a 15 min drive!

Very cute interior; lots of extra supplies in case we forgot anything. Loved the bathroom!! Quiet; beds were comfortable & nice to have 2 TV’s as my husband & I have different tastes. The only tiny negative is the yard - not really any grassy area for our little dog, but she didn’t mind walking down the block.

If you ever want a true lake house experience with all of the fun but none of the dreaded lake house chores this is the place for you. It’s cosy and comes with all the amenities. The owner is a genuinely nice person. You are within driving distance of several “oh fer cute” Minnesota towns and the lake is right outside your door!

We enjoyed our Minimoon here. Was great. Nothing bad to say, other than we clearly didn’t thoroughly read the posting because we were shocked that it was a guest house! Our fault. But anyway, very clean and nice! Would for sure recommend.

This home was in a lovely setting. We enjoyed walking around the camp as well as sitting at one of the numerous outdoor tables and watching wildlife and scenery. The Garden House is spacious and was just perfect for our group of four friends for a retreat!

Kammi was such a great hosts and person. Thank you again for another wonderful family vacation. Your home was we needed to relax. It was great to finally meet you.

We loved staying in the St. Francis Cottage! It was so peaceful - we enjoyed both the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. We jad everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The grounds are great for walking and enjoying nature and it was a very short drive to scenic overlooks and downtown Stillwater. It was a perfect getaway!

Great location not to far from the twin cities. It was great that there were kayaks and a canoe there for us to use free of charge. Also, there were instructions for using all of the necessities in the home, like the hot tub, fireplace, etc. Thanks for a great, relaxing weekend!

AMAZING cabin. We had a family get away for a couple nights and didn’t want to leave! Great running trails, fishing, comfortable and beautiful home. The fall colors were breathtaking. Tricia was a great host! We really hope that we can come back soon!

I just wanted to say this place was very homey, close enough to the city and super easy to get to. This home had many games and activities to do at the location, for kids and adults. The place was clean and super easy to access. If you’re into the lake life this place is awesome, big dock, clear lake, and lots of fish for viewing or catching. Kevin is a super awesome host. He is very responsive and very friendly. Highly recommend this place and we will be back in the future. Thanks again Kevin,

We loved staying at Chris’s place. We came in to town to see family and enjoy the snow. Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate and we only saw a small amount of snow the evening we arrived. But what can ya do?! Chris was incredibly responsive and attentive, even checking in with us the next morning as we had let him know we’d be arriving late on our check in day. The house was adorable and comfortable, we look forward to renting in the future when we come up to see family.

What a lovely place to stay! Our group of nine paddleboarded, had a campfire, enjoyed visiting in the gazebo and walked to dinner each night. Beautifully decorated! Baskets of cozy blankets, plenty of towels, extra outdoor furniture, s’mores fixings, and laundry were extras we appreciated. Thank you!

This was a fabulous place to stay - just the right size for two, and very cozy - while friends did their own rustic cabin camping in nearby William O'Brien! A side-channel of the St. Croix River is just out the door, with a short hiking trail through the nearby woods, and birds singing their spring songs. It was just what we needed for a quiet respite.

It was a beautiful and relaxing time!

The Cozy Cabin was the perfect oasis to have down time from a full weekend of activities visiting family and friends from out of town. We loved sitting by the bonfire each night! Definitely would recommend and hope to visit again!
