Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Buffalo County

This was our second time staying here. Just like the first time, our stay was great! We wanted for nothing as the beds are comfortable and the house is very well stocked. It is kept clean and tidy. We visit this area every summer and I would definitely choose to stay again next year!

We had a wonderful stay! Loved the view of the river, even saw a river cruise boat and several barges. The grands loved the room with 5 beds and the huge shower! Will definitely stay here again!

We stayed the weekend for a wedding and had a wonderful experience! We were specifically looking for a dog-friendly place, and their home checked all the boxes. Doug and Cara were incredibly friendly and responsive both before and during our stay, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The house is perfect for anyone who appreciates the unique feel of older homes. It was cozy and functional, and the master bedroom, where we stayed, was spacious with plenty of room to set up our two dog kennels! One thing to note: you do need to walk through the master bedroom to access the second bedroom, and the second room doesn’t have a door. This wasn’t an issue for us, but sharing for guests who may need more privacy. Overall, a great stay in a cozy and pet-friendly home. Highly recommend!

Great space and views towards the river. River access not far away. We kayaked near there and Gina /Troy had several U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maps available. So much to do and see nearby so rain and chilly weather wasn't a deterrent. We only encountered very friendly and helpful people. Great place to explore.

One of the best Airbnb's I have stayed at. The hosts were wonderful to communicate with and the house was perfect!!

We booked this location to attend the Fire and Shire renaissance faire being hosted by the Castlerock Museum. In the morning, everything we wanted to do was in close walking distance. At night, there was a nearby pier where we could fish and caught a walleye that we cooked later after dinner! The home was very spacious and two new windows were added that allow you to see the Mississippi River clearly from the kitchen and a side door directly to the patio for privacy. The only gripe that would come to mind is that it’s next to a railway so trains do come by frequently and blow their horn. The came by much less at night than during the day but if you were a light sleeper it could wake you. However, this isn’t at fault for the home and there’s no way to stay in Alma without hearing the train so it’s still a 5/5 in every way!

We had a family girls weekend at Megan’s place. We enjoyed every minute. It was Winona’s steam boat days and we were worried about noise and lots of people around but it was perfect. Far enough from the events but still close that we could enjoy too! The stairs were difficult for my grandmother but it worked out that she a bedroom downstairs as well for her! We had a great time and will definitely come again!

Very nice place to stay. Super clean and there is a lot to do. The host is very helpful and accommodating!

Shelly was wonderful to work with. She was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was very comfy and relaxing. I would highly recommend Shelly and Dave!!

An architectural delight. This awesome old building was recently converted into modern living spaces. Very comfortable and clean. Walkable neighborhood, right in the middle of everything. Host was very responsive and friendly. One thing to note is that the building is right next to a bar. This can cause some late night noise on the weekends. Random shouting and whooping it up occurred until about 1 AM. Check out Muddled Thyme for their delicious brickoven pizza! Highly recommend the local Shakespeare festival as well. Phenomenal quality shows. Not what one might expect from a small town in the middle of Minnesota.

the Snapdragon was a great place to stay. We were there for a family event and needed to be in Nelson. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. We appreciated having the full kitchen, including a coffee pot. We walked to the creamery and a couple of restaurants just a block away. They were responsive to all our questions in a timely manner. We had enjoyed our stay and would stay again. We highly recommend!

Shelby’s place was great for our brief stay. The location was easy to find, parking was plentiful, and the area was so quiet and peaceful. The beds and pillows were comfy too which can be hard to find at other places!

I rented this property for the Groomsmen in my granddaughter's wedding. It was perfect and they were very comfortable...they had not one complaint! Thank you!

We had the most wonderful anniversary getaway at Hattie’s Place! Nestled in the quiet charm of Rollingstone, this spot was the perfect escape. The town itself is peaceful and picturesque—a hidden gem that feels like a true retreat from the hustle and bustle. Debra thought of absolutely everything when decorating and stocking Hattie’s Place. From the cozy, thoughtfully curated decor to the fully equipped kitchen and little extras throughout the home, it was clear she put great care into making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. What made the experience even better was Debra’s communication. She was incredibly responsive and offered personalized recommendations that made our visit feel all the more special. We would highly recommend Hattie’s Place to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway—and we would definitely stay again!

Logan was a wonderful host, very responsive. I didn’t realize prior to arrival that the unit was only one section of the house and our unit was in the back of the house, but we still had some views of the water and it was peaceful. Appreciate Logan allowing us flexibility for our arrival and departure times- it really allowed us to maximize our time! We were also able to see the rest of the house and it is beautiful! Likely will be back with more family.

We really enjoyed our time! Lodging was fantastic. Clean and comfortable. Right in the middle of town. Easy walk to restaurants. Enjoyed sitting on the patio. Timely and friendly communication with owners.

Our extended weekend was great. Such a quirky layout to the place, but loved it. Bed was so comfy. We enjoyed the cozy den & watched movies. The trains were loud as advertised, but we were tired and dealt with the sound. Diane gave some great recommendations that matched our interests. We would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone who needs a beautiful rental to accommodate a lot of people.

Great stay! Everything was clean and the building was very quiet. Wabasha and the surrounding area was really fun to explore also!

Wonderful stay in Alma! Plenty of space, comfortable beds, loved watching the trains! Can't beat the location!

I would come here again.

We really enjoyed morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the valley. It was a quiet moment that helped make our trip relaxing. Local restaurants are enjoyable, but are a short drive away. We came here to "get away" and we did. I would stay here again.
