Family-friendly vacation rentals in Anoka County

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.

We booked three nights to accommodate extended family coming from Chicago and Duluth to celebrate my son’s graduation from UMN. This place was perfect for us! There was plenty of room for everybody. The kitchen, open living room area, and deck worked really well for entertaining. We threw a BBQ get together for my son’s friends, a huge success in this great space. The place is very well stocked with everything we needed. We also heated up the sauna each morning to start the day! Emily was very responsive to our every need. Thank you!

Eric by far best host. I felt right at home and made sure every question I had was fulfilled. I do look forward to returning!

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.

Love the house and has all we need! They have a lot of stuff for kids and have kitchen stuff other airbnbs don’t usually have. We enjoyed our stay!

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.

Katie and Curt were wonderful hosts to our Minneapolis Spring Break adventure! We loved having a home base at such a convenient, beautiful, central location. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub and the nearby playground. We enjoyed the neighborhood and walking into Linden Hills for meals and shopping. Katie & Curt were responsive to questions that came up during our stay and were friendly and gracious hosts.

A beautiful and quiet setting matched with a beautiful cottage. Check in was so easy and they have everything you need for a quaint and lovely stay.

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.

There were four couples, and we each had our own bath and bedroom. It was so great to be able to get together in the morning and have coffee and look at the beautiful view. In the evening we sat around in the living room and chatted. It couldn’t have been more perfect for us. And the beds were very comfortable!

Had a wonderful stay it was perfect for our girls weekend and the mini fridge was such a nice touch! I also enjoyed the easy checkout truly made us feel like we could enjoy ourselves this weekend!

Very cute and peaceful place. It was very nice inside and easy to get to. If you have kids or pets it's the perfect little Airbnb. it has a very large backyard with a secure fence. It even has a swing set. Our dogs loved running around.

This was my third stay here as I have family in town and love having my own space while visiting. This now feels like coming 'home' in a way as the artwork, solarium facing the river feels like an escape whilst being so accessible to everything. I love the neighborhood, the small businesses near by, the vibe of the house and history of the house in general and kindness of the owners keeps me coming back. I will plan another trip here later this year again. Thanks!

Shawn was the most gracious host and his home was very comfortable. Although I didn’t stay long, it was just perfect.

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

Emily’s place is easily one of my favorite Airbnbs to date. It’s super cute, cozy, and extremely comfortable. Her place encompasses so many things I miss about Minneapolis - Nordeast specifically. It’s in such a prime spot, with abundant parking, in a gorgeous and welcoming neighborhood, with some of the neatest parts of the city right at your fingertips. I got the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a really long time. The bed is unbelievably comfortable, and the entire place is so incredibly peaceful, it’s impossible to not feel content and at home. Emily graciously accommodated a last-minute booking request, was very communicative, and kindly laid out all needed information, instructions, and expectations both in writing prior to arrival and in a thoughtful and helpful binder once inside. I truly appreciate not having to wonder or second-guess any little thing upon arrival or prior to departure. I’m just sad I was only there for such a short time; it just makes me want to return sooner!

We had a wonderful stay at Nancy and Rick's place! We brought our toddler and our bikes and were able to get to every spot we wanted to from this perfect retreat. The home had lots of perfect extra touches that made it feel like a home away from home. We will definitely stay again next time we are back!

It is always a pleasure staying here when we're in town. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by many places you can walk to or is a short drive away. The apartment is spacious, clean, and very comfortable.

Jen was a wonderful, attentive host and the house was lovely! We will definitely stay there again the next time we’re in town! :)

Walking into this adorable cottage and being welcomed by a most pleasant scent and soft music in the background was the beginning of a perfect long weekend at Matthew's place. This home is absolutely immaculate and so comfortable. Actually this is the nicest home we've stayed in with Airbnb. The personal touches are evident in every room and very much appreciated! We visit our son in North Hudson a couple of times a year and this will definitely be our 'go to' place when planning our trips. Trust me, you won't be disappointed staying in Matthew's cottage.

What a lovely place to stay, felt safe and right at home!

Cute little home that was perfect for our weekend trip. Nice location with walkable parkway nearby and easy access to shopping and restaurants

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

Enjoyed our stay! Cozy and convenient for our family (my parents, my husband and myself) while in Minneapolis for our son’s graduation. Easy access to MSP Airport to pick up/drop off family, good restaurants nearby and easy to get to UMN campus area. The space was clean and comfortable. The backyard would have been wonderful to hangout in if the weather had cooperated. May in the Midwest is always an adventure. The neighborhood is beautiful!
