Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dakota County

This is a repeat stay for us, and it lived up to the memory from the first time we stayed here. Everything is super clean, bedding is very comfortable, surroundings are so pretty with flowers on the property, bluebirds in the birdhouses, comfortable patio space and fire pit. Is VERY private. This is an extremely easy place to be. And for those who want it, downtown Afton, Hudson, and Stillwater are not far away. This is one of my favorites!

Shoni is a great host and easy to communicate with! The home was perfect for our trip (visiting family) and very clean. Location is very close to airport and near the light rail and a bus that go to downtown. Recommend Rick’s coffee, Asa’s bagels and Crema cafe in the neighborhood! Neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and lovely to walk around. Would definitely stay again.

This is the third time that we have stayed at Dale’s place. As always he is a super responsive host, check in/out procedures were easy. The place is very clean and well appointed. We love the front porch area and sit there every morning watching the squirrels frolic while drinking our coffee. Our dog loves the place. It’s a very friendly walkable neighborhood perfect for our leash walks and the fenced in yard was great for our pup to play while we hang out. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great place to stay. Will stay here again the next time we visit the area. Nathaniel responded quickly to our inquiries and checked in with us via the app to make sure everything was to our liking.

Great place and location. Relaxing, clean, well decorated and comfortable. Would recommend to all my friends and family.

Great place, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen

We enjoyed our stay in Cottage Grove. The home was clean, nicely decorated and close distance to family in the neighborhood. Even within walking distance to groceries and necessities. Check in and check out was seamless.

Great little house to stay in for a few days! Basement bathroom could have been a little nicer. But everything else was perfect. Would stay here again if I make it back to Minnesota!

This is the second time I stayed here. She’s an amazing host, I had issues with the kitchen sink and the response was very swift and it was fixed within thirty minutes ! ❤️ Highly recommend.

Nancy and Rick's place is tremendous! Very comfortable, well appointed, great amenities and the location was awesome. The place is spacious and cozy; bed was extremely comfortable. We love Minneapolis and will return here again. We loved walking/biking around the area (so easy!) with many restaurants and parks to visit. We've been to many, many AirBnbs; this is one of the best. We didn't see Rick but had a great chat with Nancy.

We loved staying at this spot. The use of bicycles was so nice to have to get around and see the city as well as check out new restaurants. Thanks for the stay, Ethan!

I had a wonderful stay at this lovely little farm just outside Minneapolis. The apartment is spacious, beautifully decorated, and felt like home right away. It was fully equipped with everything you typically need, which made the stay even more comfortable. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, offering lots of great tips about the area. It’s also a great starting point for shopping trips – close to the Mall of America and the outlet mall in Eagan. I would definitely stay here again – highly recommended!

Place was perfect for our extended 5 week stay! A block away from multiple dining options. Quiet. very clean. Russell was very helpful & responsive, though we didn’t need to reach out much as everything ran smoothly! Can’t go wrong with booking any of his Air BNBs listed ! Thank you again!

We had a wonderful stay at Chris and KaReesha’s place. They were very thorough in their check in/check out instructions and the place was perfect for what my husband and I were looking for. We had an issue with the internet while here, and they were extremely responsive in getting the issue resolved in a timely manner. We would definitely book again if we’re ever in the area.

This is our third stay and we continue to trust Jerry for our stay at his house, excellent host, a very clean house. We would absolutely stay here again!!!

We were beyond thrilled to find this amazing home in Hastings. We stayed while visiting family and it was the perfect home to return to at the end of each day. It had everything we needed to feel at home. The kitchen is beautiful with all modern amenities and was perfect for coffee each morning. We slept great on the king size bed in the bedroom as it was very comfortable. One evening we enjoyed a walk the couple blocks into town and had dinner with a beautiful view of the river. We highly recommend this home.

It is as advertised, Studio Apartment, Pull out couch, right next to train that'll get you to downtown or Mall of America, and beautiful hiking for the Mississippi as well as Minnehaha falls was wonderful (12 min walk!)

This was hands down the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in! We visited as a family and had an amazing time. The location is perfect—just a short walk to downtown with stunning views of the town. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous—every detail was so thoughtfully designed and beautifully styled. It truly felt like a home away from home. The glam touches throughout make it an ideal spot for a girls' weekend or bachelorette party. I wasn’t even planning to get ready in the mornings, but the chic vanity area was too fun to resist! Megan (the host) was incredible—super responsive, helpful, and kind, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% recommend it. Can’t wait to come back!

Clean, as advertised Airbnb. Everything in the apartment worked. Every thing in the game room worked. Wonderful, clean thoughtful designed apartment. Beautiful patio and game room.

My husband and I were in town to visit our son. Stephanie’s place provided a serene, peaceful atmosphere with a beautiful view of the lake. Her backyard patio and flower garden was a great space to relax and visit in.

I was very satisfied with my stay, I highly recommend! I had zero issues or problems the whole time, my stay couldn’t have gone more smoothly or perfect. John and Michael were very responsive and checked up on me to make sure all my needs were met during my stay. The apartment itself is the perfect little space to stay by yourself or with another few guests. It has everything you need- the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, the living room area was cute with a roku tv which i appreciated, and there were all the necessities stocked up. The on-site parking and the location close to everything in Saint Paul and the MSP Airport was great as well. Overall, this place had everything I could’ve asked for, I have no complaints. I stayed for a little over 2 weeks and it truly started to feel like home. I would highly recommend, John was a wonderful host and I would love to stay again in the future!

This was a very cute place, I can definitely see it being a fun place for a large group! The trains could be a little noisy at night, but that can’t be helped. Earplugs are an easy solution for light sleepers. Otherwise, this was such a cute and unique standout from so many other airbnbs in this area.

We had an excellent stay at Lisa's beautiful home! It is on the ground floor but there are some stairs to reach it (back door has 6 steps down), which Lisa kindly let me know prior to booking. The location is extremely convenient and quiet, the neighborhood seemed very safe and private as well. Lisa's home was pristine with plenty of supplies for cooking and plenty of places to sit and relax. The bed was super comfortable, on the softer side but still supportive and there were black out curtains in every room which let us sleep very well. The bathroom was spotless with soft towels and Lisa had very thoughtfully left some small amenities such as toothbrushes and make up wipes etc which was an extra kind touch. The decor was awesome with lots of books and art and Lisa had left little notes everywhere explaining how her home worked and also giving interesting information! I would stay again and would highly recommend! Thank you so much again Lisa!!

We enjoyed Megan's space very much. The location was wonderful; walkable distance to great restaurants and nightlife, a rooftop game room that includes many free video games, ping pong and board games, and a wonderful private deck with heater. We loved the sinks in the bedrooms and the very comfortable beds. We would absolutely stay in this beautifully decorated space when we make another trip to the Cities. Thank you Megan for the comfort your place provided us and your responsiveness to our questions!
