Family-friendly vacation rentals in Excelsior

Colleen & Aaron made us feel so welcome and cozy! Their Lowry Garden Apartment was the loveliest weekend experience, and we’re definitely planning to return. Just a few blocks from the Minneapolis Walker Art Center, this hidden gem with its side entrance gave us the privacy we needed, but the inside held so many wonderful surprises, with its gas fireplace, vinyl albums and turntable, A+ coffee bar, full modern kitchen, and their superb attention to design and detail. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and peaceful, with the added perks of an outdoor hot tub, sauna, and magical greenhouse lounge with colorful hanging lanterns on the upper deck. Can’t beat that! Super hosts who care for your wellbeing all the way around. Thanks, Colleen & Aaron!

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!

Had a great time and a nice neighborhood. Would recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our four days at this lovely home! The house was comfortable, clean, and the hosts thought of everything - even left notes with instructions for the remotes and had card games out for us to play with the kiddos. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone considering this house.

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!

My friends & I had an amazing weekend stay! 10/10, would definitely recommend & will hopefully be back in the future!

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.

I was so happy to re-visit! This place is just an oasis of solitude and so beautiful!

There were four couples, and we each had our own bath and bedroom. It was so great to be able to get together in the morning and have coffee and look at the beautiful view. In the evening we sat around in the living room and chatted. It couldn’t have been more perfect for us. And the beds were very comfortable!

Great place to stay for three people! It was nice to have a parking spot for a car as well. Well stocked with anything you could need as well.

Loved our holiday stay at Jeff and Sarah’s. The location was great for us as we walked to Bde M’kaska,

Great stay for our guest at Macalester! Close, clean and cozy! Will stay again! Thank you for your hospitality!

Another great stay in Falcon Heights! We loved the fenced in back yard for the dogs.

neat place with lots to do with in walking distance. was a little disappointed the restaurant with the Ferris wheel was closed but sounds like will be opening again soon under new ownership looked like a fun place. will definitely stay here again if we visit the busy city.

We loved our stay. Location was great. Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, and a brew pub. Loved the fenced in yard for our dog! I also appreciated the nice selection of coffee and tea! Would definitely stay here again.

My second stay - great place, ideal location. Very quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Emily is responsive and helpful. Would stay again, 10/10 highly recommended.

Dawn was very kind a responsive. The place was beautiful and there was plenty of space! There was some difficulty managing the keypad when leaving the house, however it was a minor issues and Dawn was very responsive to fixing it! 5/5😁

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

Safe and friendly. Felt comfortable and super easy to get to.

I communicated with 3 people (Paige in the beginning and Lianna & Karyn after I got there), all were very friendly and answered my questions. The place was in a great location and since I wasn't able to stay with my son this weekend, I was about a block from his apartment, so it was an easy walking distance to his apartment. The Summit Hill Neighborhood (where Quaint & Quiet on Grand Hill is located) is a great place in St. Paul. I will definitely stay there again if I need to in the future. Thanks again.

Micheal’s home felt so relaxing, we really enjoyed ourselves during our stay! 10/10 would come again! Thank you Micheal

Extremely welcoming hosts! Even had some treats and bottled water for us.

The place was perfect for what we needed. The kids loved the space and were so excited being there. Instructions were easy to follow and checking in and out was easy. Good location and host was very friendly!

great place decorated well and the beds were very comfy nit the best place for toddlers but was not an issue just has slippery floors.
