Sweet retreat in fantastic uptown close to lakes.

ZachRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Very cute and well furnished house. It was a block back from the main uptown street, so very walkable (5 minute walk to some bars and restaurants) without having to listen to traffic. I was also even able to rent one of those Lime scooters from downtown Minneapolis and scoot back to the house in like 12(?) minutes. I had a great weekend and would stay here again

Gorgeous Home, Best Location! Walk to Lake & Shops

TimRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house is as listed. Felt more spacious even than the pictures. It made for a great family gathering over the holidays. We could not have had anywhere near as comfortable, relaxing, and interactive time together at a hotel. We shared meals, baked cookies, played games at “home” and were situated well to get out into the broader city and area or just walk block for a coffee treat.

Stillwater Oasis

EllianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time staying at this cabin for a girls weekend getaway! It was somehow even nicer in person, super private with a gorgeous view of the lake, 2-3 cozy living room areas, comfy bedrooms, and the fun tire swing & hammock! Great location close to downtown Stillwater. The kitchen was perfect for our group since we love to cook, and the breakfast nook was a fan favorite.

Tranquil modern home, steps to lake & restaurants

ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed staying in this Airbnb. The accommodations were great - comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen, and a beautiful walkable neighborhood. We really appreciated having a cozy fireplace, as we were there in December. The nearby lake and trails around it make a lovely winter scene. Jill is a great host and is very responsive. We were able to have an early check-in, which was a great help. We hope to stay again on another visit!

This Airbnb was exactly as described in the listing—spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located. It had everything we needed for our trip, and the attention to detail made it feel like a home away from home. The host was communicative and accommodating, ensuring our stay was seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

Kingfield Cottage, 2BR, Sleeps 6, 3 mi to Downtown

NancyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I very much enjoyed my stay at Kingfield Cottage. The bed was very comfortable and all the essentials were provided. I visited in December and in the cold weather, the Nest thermostat was easy to operate and kept the place quite cozy. The apartment was within walking distance of family that I was visiting, so it was very convenient for me. Steven responded promptly and graciously to any requests that I made.

Among mansions. Spacious. Lakes, Dntwn, Conv Ctr

LarryRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The name of this home is truly appropriate. It’s a large lovely, spacious second (and third) floor apartment in a neighborhood of lovely homes. Home was comfortable, had a kitchen that appeared to be recently updated that had many supplies and amenities. The location couldn’t have been better. I shared the place 2 two co-workers. We were in town for a conference at the convention center, which was only about ½ hr walk- a great way to start each morning. It’s also just a few blocks from the Walker Art center (free admission on Thursday nights, btw) and sculpture garden. Martha, the host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Minneapolis.

PatrickRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The house location is beautiful being at a lake. The house is comfortable and well furnished. The decor is fascinating. The host, Steven, communicates very well. He left thorough instructions for using the house and appliances. He left suggestions for local restaurants and activities. The home is clean and well maintained. Parking is easy on the lot. At night the path to the rear doorway is well lit by automatic lights.

Lakefront Family Retreat

ToniaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
April's house was very spacious and comfortable. It was accommodating for our family size of 16. Lots of games and activities were available for the kids. The kids enjoyed themselves. The Christmas tree was a plus for us to place our gifts under. Response time to emails was almost immediate which allowed things to go even more smoothly. I would definitely book this house again and it is highly recommended for large groups!

The area is stunning, right on the Mississippi River , we gazed at the eagles flying around all day. The back yard and view are truly priceless. There is plenty of space for everyone to play around outside. Nice area to walk around the neighborhood and within driving distance you have anything a big city can offer. Inside the home , we were comfortable and had all the essentials we needed to spend our time there. Jeff and Kelly are wonderful, helpful and responsive.

What a great cozy cabin so close to the cities! Great spot for a couples getaway or something fun for a small family. The Cain is super cool and has everything you could need. The hot tub on the deck is a great touch and there are plenty of spots near by to get out for a bit! Would stay again!

Lakefront Cabin with HOT TUB!

DianaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Chris place is perfect for a getaway from the cities! Not too far of a drive, yet you feel far. We only used the main bedroom and the bed/pillows were super comfy! Had everything we needed to make meals. The hot tub with a view really makes the place worth it alone. Only feedback I can think of is to have blinds for the back and front windows in the main areas. Other than that I would 10000% recommend Chris place!

Cast Away - on Indian Lake - Maple Lake, 1 of 2

Jerrod KaneRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Vicky was super responsive from the min we booked and all the way through the stay. Needed an item for the gas grill and she had it replaced within minutes. Great location and very peaceful. Only an hour out of Minneapolis which made it super easy to get to and come home from. Only complaint was the living room set up. Not ideal for watching movies in the evening but most of the time guests would be out doors so it’s not a huge issue. Everything was great and we had everything we needed right at our fingertips. Would stay here again and would recommend!

Lorri's place was perfect for our group of gals that gather occasionally for peace, quiet, and fun. Below zero weather called for the woodburning stove in the bright/spacious sunroom. So many options for sleeping space where everyone was very comfortable. All communication was swift and helpful. Thanks to Lorri and Fran!

Bone Lake Escape - Hot Tub Oasis

JettaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Ah Fall!! I don’t believe we could have chosen a better time to enjoy Sadie’s place. The cabin is quietly nestled on a well wooded, gently sloping yard overlooking Bone Lake. And boy — I’ll tell you, that setting knows how display a bewitching full moon. We felt perfectly at home in this rustic gem. In fact, If I had my dithers I’d be sitting on that deck right now having my morning coffee with my old dog lying next to me, listening to the birds, the calming moos and the occasional donkey bray coming from pasture across the way. Makes me smile thinking about it. Priceless! The cabin beckons folks out back cuz it’s truly the star. And the hot tub - it was my hubby, son & girlfriend’s fav place. Fabulous! Sadie’s cabin offered us an extraordinary stay - inside & out.

We stayed with four couples to go to a Wild game and watch the Super Bowl. This home was a perfect choice. Very clean. Stocked kitchen. Large fridge and freezer. Two living room spaces with large TVs. Lots of bedroom spaces. The towels were soft and smelled good. Fresh linens on the beds. We had a few things we needed Kofi's help with and he responded right away. Be sure to check out Venn (the brewery) and Bull's Horns (the local bar) that are both within walking distance. We didn't use it but were happily surprised to see that the line to downtown was a block away. It was a fun home and the host certainly pays attention to the little details. We'll stay here again! Thank you Kofi! (Go DSU 😁)

In town to visit family and plan a wedding. We wanted a property where we could spread out, cook and enjoy meals with the family, and play board games. Kelly’s property was ideal for the trip. Super clean and uncluttered, the home met all our needs and more. Beautiful renovations throughout the entire home, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for meal preparation. The property’s location was close to shops and restaurants with easy access to highways to travel throughout and enjoy the Twin Cities. A quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again.

New! Stunning Lakeside Getaway

MaxRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had an amazing experience staying at Alicia’s house! From start to finish, Alicia was incredibly responsible and always available to assist with any questions or needs. Her communication was top-notch, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. The house itself was spotless—cleanliness was clearly a priority, and it made the stay all the more comfortable. The location was perfect, offering both convenience and a peaceful setting with beautiful views all around. It truly felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a welcoming, clean, and well-maintained place to stay, I cannot recommend Alicia’s house enough. I would absolutely book with her again!
