Beachfront vacation rentals in Excelsior

Exactly what we were looking for!

We loved the home! It was a beautiful place for me and my grown kids from different areas fly to and share a long weekend together. It was very spacious with lots of windows and beautiful views. Comfortable furniture, lots of great amenities. When we had a question, his response was super fast. The hot tub was clean and hot...the fireplace worked and was so lovely. We all agreed we'd love to come here next time! Highly recommend.

Allison’s place was great! Very cute vintage decor throughout the apartment and it felt very cozy and like home throughout my stay. Very easy to find and in a great location, was able to take a nice walk around the lakes every day. No issues with parking at all, there is plenty of street parking immediately outside the front door. Allison provided detailed instructions regarding check in on the day of my reservation which made the whole process easy.

Can’t recommend this cabin highly enough. The location is totally calm, quiet, and peaceful while being only five minutes away from great shopping and the interstate highway. The cabin itself is absolutely gorgeous, well-appointed, and in great shape — even better than the photos. And our hosts were very friendly and welcoming — very responsive to our questions and even left a loaf of homemade banana bread on the kitchen counter for us when we arrived. Our family had a wonderful time and will be back!

Cute, simple cabin. View of the lake was lovely and it was a very cozy stay. Host was very helpful and responsive. Thank you!

Great place to stay in the cities next to great restaurants. A bargain as well. The host was a great communicator : very knowledgeable and friendly! Would gladly stay again.

Our time at Rachel and Jacob’s cabin was as advertised…a comfortable cabin with clean rooms, all listed amenities and a quiet location for our time in MN. The frozen lake complete with fish houses and other winter activities was enjoyable to watch and we hope to return to participate in the summer offerings sometime in the future. J&J

I was looking for a peaceful place to rest and renew and it was perfect. Extremely clean and had everything we needed.

Stayed at here for a family wedding for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed for a week. The place is even nicer than the photos show, spacious, clean and beautiful. Prestige surroundings with sweeping views of the St Croix. Our family enjoyed swimming off the dock, watching osprey and eagles, and cooking in the spacious kitchen. Stellar spot. Would absolutely come again!!

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!

Adorable home, pictures don’t do the decor justice. Great view waking up to the lake. Had plenty of kitchen supplies so you don’t have to buy all the basics if you’re cooking. Neighborhood was nice, we went for a run in the morning. Reccommend this cute spot!

Fellow travelers, You have come upon a very special find in this home. Walking in the entry door, we were captivated by the natural beauty of the lake and home. We felt as if we were literally on top of the lake while being inside the house due to the impressive design and floor to ceiling windows in this picturesque home. Everything indoors and out was spotless, comfortable and inviting. We had up to 6 adults + 2 children, and the home remained spacious. The outdoor eating and sitting areas, coupled with the multiple inside gathering spots provided ample options for both sharing space and taking space. The open floor plan allowed for continued interaction during cooking/clean up - a host's dream. The sandy beach, the sturdy dock, and floating raft were used everyday of our stay for swimming/paddling/fishing/lounging. Suffice it to say that Dan and his husband have created a piece of heaven on earth with this home. They are also kind and generous hosts. We will be back.

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.

Allison's place is magical! We stayed for a couple of months just after moving to Minneapolis, during our housing search. Her space is quaint and cozy, exactly like the pictures, and the building is true to its original character in its decor as well. Allison was a fabulous host -- she stocked the apartment well with fruit, coffee, and snacks for our arrival, and in general, we felt we always had what we needed during our stay -- a variety of cookware, cleaning supplies, additional linens, etc. We had no issues at all except for a minor plumbing one, and Allison had it resolved within a couple of hours. We loved the location - it is across the street from a beach, which seemed like a well-used, vibrant community spot. We spent time on the beach while it was swimming weather, and walked along the paths around it almost every day with our dogs. It was especially picturesque as the trees changed color and weather cooled. We loved our stay here and would gladly stay again!

The Indian Lake Chalet is sublime!! The perfect place for a relaxing or active family trip—we did lots of both! The house is super clean and perfectly appointed. It was comfortable and spacious for our multigenerational group of 11. We’d very happily stay here again!

was going to renn fair in shakopee as our group had done the year before, had difficulties with previous airbnb and greatly appreciated the upgrade this time around. place was spacious, enough room for everyone, and located in easy to find but nice neighborhood. would reccomend to anyone.

We loved out stay at John's place in Cottagewood. Great location, beautiful home, well stocked . . . perfect for our family of five. Would absolutely stay again!

What a wonderful stay! Our family of 4, plus grandpa stayed to sightsee in MPLS and Miki's beautiful home had us feeling like we were cabining by the lake, yet a quick drive to all the sights! Plus, Miki has a way of welcoming you, making for a perfect host. We hope to go back every summer, it's a special place.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The pictures do not do this place justice! We were able to catch fish right off the dock and tied up our boat easily on the private dock. Clear Lake was full of fish action too! We enjoyed all the various private spaces to read a book or lounge as a family. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting a getaway to a lakefront space. Thanks again for being wonderful hosts!

Jeanne’s place on the lake was perfect for our weekend in Excelsior. We had ample space, comfy beds, stocked mini fridge, privacy, and beautiful views of and easy access to the lake. We were a quick drive into the adorable town of Excelsior and an easy drive into the city for dinner. Communication was great with a smooth check in and friendly hosts. All in all a great experience.
