Family-friendly vacation rentals in Dakota County

A beautiful and well kept home very quiet neighborhood, pet friendly we love the fact that the master bedroom was on a separate wing. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and plenty of bathrooms.

We stayed here for our wedding in May of 2024 at Hope Glen, and decided we needed to book it through AirBnB for our one year anniversary because we loved it so much. It's so cozy and just an overall wonderful experience staying in a treehouse! The bed is super comfy too

Deborah was a great host. She was available upon my arrival. She was good at communicating. Her place was perfect for me. It was about 2 miles from my daughter’s house. She lent me her bicycle one day. That was great. On my birthday I found a cupcake on my table. Very thoughtful. She is also a fabulous masseuse. She was friendly and accommodating. All in all a wonderful experience

A beautiful place to stay. close to the city but far enough out that it feels isolated. The grounds were stunning feels special staying a wedding venue when we're just needing a bed when passing through. Queen sized bed though but pretty dang comfy.

Kevin was a wonderful host! I stayed for about a week and he was responsive and helpful. I had just about the best sleep ever on the comfiest bed, too! Quiet street, a few blocks from a Walgreens, grocery, and convenience store. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. From the warm welcome at check-in to the thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, everything was perfect. Highly recommended! The cleanliness was impeccable. Every corner of the room was spotless, and the amenities were well-maintained. It felt like a home away from home. Situated in the heart of the city, this place made it easy to explore everything nearby. Restaurants, shops, and public transport were all within walking distance. Couldn’t ask for a better location! The property has such a relaxing vibe. The interior design is modern yet cozy, and the outdoor seating area was a great spot to unwind after a long day. Will definitely stay here again! This place offers excellent amenities at an affordable price. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations for the cost.

Genuinely perfect stay!!! We had our wedding party at the two homes and it was so perfect and clean and easy and spacious. Would absolutely recommend for any bigger size gatherings or trips. Wonderful!

My husband and I and our dogs enjoyed our stay at Brenda's place. It was clean, peaceful, easy to find, and we loved the wood floors and the colorful kitchen. The beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood is gorgeous. Brenda was proactive with instructions and very friendly. We would happily stay here again! :)

We chose this unit because it was convenient to our family. We found good restaurants nearby and we could get to many local attractions within 30 minutes.

Cleanest place we've ever stayed. Super responsive host. Thoughtfully curated library. Endless supply of clean linens. Well stocked kitchen. Huge washer and dryer. Would definitely stay there again.

The house was beautiful and we loved our stay! Ryan was very communicative and responded quickly. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I had the pleasure to stay with Rose and Paul during her transition to the area for a job. Even with the road construction going on, Rose took extra effort to make sure we had accurate directions and were always informed about events. They were both friendly and kind. Very appreciative. The suite was exactly as described and even when the keurig needed work, she saved to day by providing coffee. Thank you! We hope to be back sometime to say hi again.

Charle's Airbnb was the perfect place for us to stay during a transition between homes. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and well taken care of. We stayed for nearly two weeks, and it truly felt like a second home. The space is exceptionally clean and well-equipped with everything you might need. It's a classic South Minneapolis duplex, and Charles and his wife live right next door, making it easy to reach out if anything comes up. The neighborhood is safe, walkable, and just a short stroll to Lake Harriet, with plenty of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Having our own private washer and dryer and white noise machines was a huge plus! And one especially thoughtful touch- Charles asks guests NOT to clean before checking out, which is a rare and appreciated gesture on Airbnb these days. If we find ourselves back in Minneapolis, we would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.

This was the sixth time that we have stayed at Jaclyn's place. That should be enough of a recommendation for anyone looking for a cozy place in Minneapolis.

Melinda provided us with a home away from home 🙂 Her Airbnb is absolutely beautiful. Lots of cool art throughout the house, a stunning sunroom that offers some quiet time between gorgeous, well cared-for plants, and a great upstairs master bedroom with lots of space, a sitting area, a desk and a makeup table. The house is located in a very nice neighborhood that offers a number of restaurants and stores in walking distance. I would definitely rent Melinda’s place again!

John’s place was absolutely perfect! Such a cute, beautiful and centrally located to restaurants and shops. We will definitely come back.

The room ac units and large fan in main living area were enough to keep the house a comfortable temp

We stayed in this home for one week.(For a wedding) We had seven adults and one 16-month-old in our group. There was plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. All the amenities were as described and in good working order. The large kitchen was well equipped, and meal preparation was a pleasure. We easily parked three vehicles on the driveway. The neighborhood is quiet, and family orientated, with parks and schools nearby. We walked to "Antler Park" which had a nice beach and excellent playground for children of all ages. The home is located under a 30-minute drive to many sightseeing opportunities. Too many to mention. We did the Mall of America one afternoon.(I think that's required) Gary and Tracy are exceptional hosts! It seems that we have the troublesome habit of leaving something behind after we stay someplace. This trip was no exception. They notified us immediately and offered to ship the items to our home, which they did. NOW THAT's SERVICE! Highly Recommend

I had a great week staying here! I was working in downtown Minneapolis, and this was an easy 20 minute drive away. Totally worth it if you enjoy serenity and quiet. It’s definitely a “no frills” kind of vibe…but it’s super cozy and functional, nestled in the beautiful woods of Mendota…with hiking and biking trails within walking distance. And it feels a bit like a fun step back in time with all the VHS’s, DVDs, and CDs on display. The appliances are updated and very nice. The beds are very comfy, and the kitchen is WELL stocked. On top of all this, the hosts were VERY kind…checking in with me throughout the week to make sure I had everything I needed. I was told they would be doing some construction/renovation soon. So I imagine it will eventually become an even more valuable hidden gem than it already is!
