Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown West, Minneapolis

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.

We booked three nights to accommodate extended family coming from Chicago and Duluth to celebrate my son’s graduation from UMN. This place was perfect for us! There was plenty of room for everybody. The kitchen, open living room area, and deck worked really well for entertaining. We threw a BBQ get together for my son’s friends, a huge success in this great space. The place is very well stocked with everything we needed. We also heated up the sauna each morning to start the day! Emily was very responsive to our every need. Thank you!

Peaceful neighborhood, some noise heard from where host lives upstairs (just FYI in case this would be a factor for guests). Hospitable host with local recommendations. He informed us that the last guests had an accident with the ping pong table so that was not available but we enjoyed the pool table & hot tub. He also informed us that the pizza oven takes about 3 hrs to prep & 2 bundles of wood & is best for bulk pizza making. The master suite has a beautiful view of the backyard with water features. The o redhead fairy lights outside are a plus in the evening. Overall, a positive experience with Eric. I frequent Airbnb’s and would recommend this one.

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.

Love the house and has all we need! They have a lot of stuff for kids and have kitchen stuff other airbnbs don’t usually have. We enjoyed our stay!

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!

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.

Beautiful, historic condo just down the street from Bde Maka Ska and a short, peaceful walk to the Uptown neighborhood. Our group greatly enjoyed the spacious common areas and comfortable bedrooms, all of which were immaculately clean. Liz is a superb host who gave clear, easy to follow check-in and check-out instructions. We highly recommend this listing.

Very nice and cozy spot near downtown. The place was as described and looked exactly like the photos. Would definitely recommend staying here.

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.

We had a great weekend staying at Philip's place!

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!!!

Excellent stay, always love your properties. Place is clean, has everything you need and close to many things to do. Highly recommend, will be back in the future to stay again.

We have stayed here before and will always strive to be a repeat customer, as schedules allow. Very responsive, customer-friendly communication and support every time. We enjoy the surroundings as we walk nearly everywhere we decide to visit, returning to a quaint and quiet place of comfort.

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

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.

Highly recommend Brenda’s place. Brenda and Brian were both very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in St Paul and would come back again.

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!

James and Karen were delightful hosts and their home was beautiful. It was perfect for our family, everyone had their own space. Quiet neighborhood. Coffee and creamer ready for the day!

The apartment was nice and quiet. Our check-in could have been smoother but the hiccups were my fault. A good value and a few minutes from Starbucks. Great hosts.

This was our 4th stay at Mel and John’s place. One our favorite Airbnbs. Very friendly hosts who are super responsive. Apartment has a fully stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare meals. Lovely neighborhood with great access to a large park with lots of great trails and access to other parks. Easy access for the Minnesota state fair

A great place. Cozy but spacious. Super clean. We didn’t arrive until after 10 PM, but Susan was fine with that.

Enjoyed our stay! Cozy and convenient for our family (my parents, my husband and myself) while in Minneapolis for our son’s graduation. Easy access to MSP Airport to pick up/drop off family, good restaurants nearby and easy to get to UMN campus area. The space was clean and comfortable. The backyard would have been wonderful to hangout in if the weather had cooperated. May in the Midwest is always an adventure. The neighborhood is beautiful!
