Vacation rentals in Dakota County

Loved our stay here! Location was great, nice neighborhood and only 2 blocks to Lake Nokomis with lots of walking paths. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for meals. Downstairs basement area very nice also. Our goldendoodle loved the fenced backyard. Will definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay, loved the house and was a great location. We have family in the area and visit MN regularly, and would definitely chose Tram's home again!

I stayed at Caroline's farm for 2 weeks in April 2025. It was an ideal location for me--remote, but not too remote. I was able to work remotely for my job while I was there. The house itself is plenty big, and the outside space made it even more enjoyable--there's a very spacious back yard with a fire pit, barbecue, patio, etc. And wild turkeys and deer walking through daily! I was lucky enough that Caroline's horse and donkey were in the field near the house and was able to make daily visits to bring them carrots (very much the farm experience!). The house was equipped with everything I needed to truly "live" there. Afton State Park is really close by for hiking/outdoors activities, and I made a couple trips up to Stillwater which as a great history and restaurants/bar scene. And, of course...in Afton itself is Selma's Ice Cream parlour, definitely worth a visit or two. I really enjoyed my time here--I was by myself, but with a family or larger group, this place is ideal.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay with our extended family at this property. The spacious house was perfect for our gathering, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. We especially loved watching the comings and goings of hundreds of Canadian geese, trumpeter swans, bald eagles, herons, and other birdlife from the large picture window in the main room. I've never seen anything like it! Staying here in the winter, we especially appreciated the working fireplace, which made the common area feel warm and inviting; a perfect spot to gather and spend time together. The fully equipped kitchen made preparing family meals easy, and the large dining table was perfect not only for sharing meals together but also for playing games afterward.

We were 11 adults and 2 kids. There’s enough space for everybody yet it still feels homey. The place is clean and instructions are easy to follow. The hosts are very responsive and made the stay delightful. Amenities are complete and made our stay convenient. 15 mins drive to Mall of America and a few minutes drive to the Eagan Outlet. We would recommend this place to a large group. Would come back if we get a chance!

We loved this place! It is conveniently located about 25 mn to the airport, and 10 mn to the Dakota County Fairgrounds. It had a very spacious feel. We hope to be back.

We had an amazing stay at Alvin’s Airbnb. It was our first time in Minnesota and staying at his property made it all the more special. The house accommodated everyone beautifully with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The kids had a blast playing in the backyard! I must add the view of the water from the yard was spectacular. The added family fun of all the board games in the house was a huge added bonus!! We had zero issue at all with our stay. If we are ever in the area again, I know we would gladly stay at this property again! Alvin is a very awesome host to work with!

Siri's home was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It was a wonderful place to stay while we were in town visiting family.
