Vacation rentals with a kayak in Minneapolis

Our group of ladies traveled from all over the US to spend a long weekend together. We were absolutely charmed by the mid-century modern home the owners have cultivated. This home had a fabulous fully stocked kitchen which we made good use of throughout our stay. The living spaces were amazing, and we enjoyed each of the rooms throughout the weekend. The entry level living room was a haven for reading and enjoying the lake views or taking a nap on the lovely chaise lounge, the dining and family rooms were a primary gathering spot for reading, playing games and talking and catching up. The media room offered plenty of space for our group to listen to music (we had a pianist with us). The photographs of the outdoor deck don’t give it justice on how large it is with 3 distinct seating areas. The weather only permitted us to use the outdoor space one of the days of our trip. The home is well maintained, very close to an amazing trail for hiking, biking or running and the dock looks new.

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!

What a wonderful retreat in Stillwater! There are views from the lake throughout the house. Tall trees and amazing outdoor amenities for all ages to enjoy. The host had great amenities for our infant as well! We’d highly recommend staying here!

Our family loved our stay at this beautiful lake home. Some of our favorites included: All the attention to detail- from skewers & firewood for roasting marshmallows to the delicious smelling bath products to everything you’d need for a great cup of coffee Truly designed for larger families- plenty of beds + seats for everyone The beautiful lake view- we spent most of our time in the backyard The garage with pool and foosball- our adult kids especially enjoyed this feature The decor- we felt right at home in this well designed space The lower level screened in porch- when not outside we were enjoying the view from there- it’s a great spot for morning coffee The accessibility of the lake- it’s quite shallow for a bit (up to knees) which made it easy for dunking. We also enjoyed the kayaks. We had groceries delivered from Walmart (better than the Cub in the area)- would recommend- easy and great to have a stocked fridge b/c you won’t want to leave

Amazing place just in front of the lake. A very quiet area perfect for families.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Lily Lake Retreat. The weather was not on our side for the weekend of our trip, so we got cozy at Allison’s place. The beds were very comfortable, lots of places to relax and wonderful views of the lake with wide panel windows. We enjoyed the sauna and loved the accessibility to downtown. Allison was a kind and incredibly responsive and accommodating host. It made for a perfect bachelorette weekend for my sister! Would definitely stay again.

This is an awesome getaway on the river, the house exceeds expectations and is amazing for hosting a large group! Even though the weather didn’t cooperate for our weekend, there are more than enough amenities for a cozy indoor experience and of course we enjoyed the hot tub! It’s a beautiful place and Brian was very helpful and quick to respond to communication. Would definitely recommend for those looking for a serene and luxurious retreat and gathering space!

The house was appropriately sized for our group of several adults and children. The weather cooperated so we were able to socialize on the patio and use the fire pit by the lake in the evening. The kids enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking on the lake as well. Would definitely look to stay here again if the need to accommodate a good sized group comes up again. Thanks

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!

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!

This place is a magical gem my whole family loves to return to. Thank you kindly for letting us borrow your home!!

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.

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.
