Family-friendly vacation rentals in Columbia Heights

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.

This is by far the cleanest Airbnb ever. Since we are a group of snorers, we had to try out the 2 couches in the adorable nooks and they were perfect. Appreciated the electrical outlets. All typical travel issues that I usually encounter were solved here. Stay at Aaron and Colleen’s. You won’t regret it.

Great place. Eric had wonderful recommendations for walkable restaurants and other things to do in the area. The yard and garage area were a hit. Very friendly host.

Your place was a perfect fit for our weekend plans! We could stay and relax, but also did activities in the Cities due to close proximity. Perfect fit and place to allow our fur baby to come along! THANK YOU!

It was even nicer than the photos, with a beautiful back yard, fun pool table, very clean. Jill was very responsive.

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.

The hosts, Katie and Curt, were very friendly and responsive. The hot tub on the patio was a big bonus. I also enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and watching the trolley go by through the woods ($3 to take the short historic ride). And just a few minutes to walk to Lake Harriet pavilion to take in some live music or walk around the lake. I’m excited to come back sometime for this relaxing get-away!

Amy Jo was a wonderful host and we felt right at home! The home was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy, and my little one had a blast playing with the toys and watching the ducks on the pond. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

The house was charming, and had lots of amenities. The kitchen had more pots and pans, silverware, appliances than I’ve ever seen at any other Airbnb where we’ve stayed. It was awesome!! Having use of the garage is also rare, and it was so convenient. We were there in the spring, and it would be really helpful in the winter. Kudos to excellent hosts for making the atmosphere so friendly and warm.

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 the most amazing Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Felt genuinely honored to be in the space.

Every you need from a household, thank you for the late checkout.

What an awesome lake cottage !! The morning views from all the windows were divine. The house is so ready for fun!! There was so much there that made the trip easier. Beautiful deck, great fire pit, ready for kids, and two canoes + life jackets! I would recommend this lake cottage to everyone !!

The place was solid. We loved the location and loved that we could bring our doggies along w us. The kitchen pretty much had everything you could need, and the bathroom was even stocked with sanitary supplies, which I thought was a sweet touch. The house is wacky, but in a cool good way. I’d be back for sure.

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

The apartment was great! The neighborhood is very nice, beautiful, and walkable, very close to the university. The check-in was smooth. It was amazing for our weekend trip to the Twin Cities.

Fantastic stay. The loft is exactly as described. It is charming, comfortable, and has everything you would need, including a fully-stocked kitchen. The layout is great and it’s nicely decorated. The only thing better than the loft itself is the location! Walkable to the Lake and everything in Linden Hills. It was an easy drive to get anywhere else, but I loved the spots in the neighborhood so much that I wasn’t inclined to go far. Sebastian Joe’s (for coffee/scones and ice cream), Martina, and Picnic were favorites. I went to the lake to walk as often as possible, and it was an easy hop across the street. The hosts were super responsive and you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into the space. I would go back again in a heartbeat, and hope to have the chance to!

What a wonderful stay! My husband and I spent a week scouting neighborhoods for our upcoming move to the area, and this was a perfect place central to everything we needed. Brenda and Brian were very responsive, and it's apparent that they put a lot of thought into the unit. We bumped into Brian the day before our departure (they live in the downstairs unit) when he was working in the garage, and had a lovely conversation. You can tell they really enjoy hosting, and we will absolutely recommend friends and family book this when they come to visit us after our move. The parking spot in the back is a great bonus, and we felt very safe here. There's a busy street nearby, but we weren't ever really bothered by traffic noise inside. We walked around the neighborhood at night and felt very safe as well. Lovely tree lined streets all around too.

It was great! Maybe not for the very tall due to some of the duct work but the location met our needs. The neighborhood was beautiful and the location as close to local shops. We recommend trying "Our kitchen" for breakfast

We’ve stayed in a number of Airbnbs in Minneapolis/St Paul, and Daniel’s definitely stands out. The apartment is sunny and spacious, with a big and well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom is lovely, and taking a bath at the end of a long day was fantastic! Daniel was responsive and very easy to work with. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thanks, Daniel!

Deb is the sweetest host! She was very communicative throughout our experience and even came out to greet us, chat, and give us a tour upon our arrival. She is very thoughtful with the set up with an abundance of bonus amenities- snacks, coffee, toiletries, robes, games, etc. It felt like staying at a relative's home. Would definitely stay again! Thank you so much for the pleasant and comfortable stay 😃

Alison's place is in a great location for a stay in the Uptown neighborhood. We had a wonderful short stay and enjoyed the lush and private back yard. Short walks to great restaurants and the lakes.

Tamara’s place was perfect- welcoming, clean, spacious, well-stocked, and right on the water. She even supplied life vests for the canoe we have access to. Loved staying here!

Accommodations were exactly as described. We had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!
