The Boat House
We were very happy with the accommodations! The smores kit, sparklers, sunscreen, bug spray, fire wood, extra propane and so much were so helpful! It was a beautiful place and we could have sat outside all day and night long!

Private Queen 1 BR Apartment in 4 BR Lakeside Home
If you have a car this place is great. Very convenient to I-394 and Hwy 169. Steven is very responsive and made sure everything was in order. Would definitely stay here again.

Romantic Getaway - Little Bungalow of Linden Hills
We had an amazing time at Tamara’s beautiful cottage. Everything inside this little gem was perfect —the furniture, the decor, the appliances, the bedroom, the front porch. We absolutely loved the location and had a great time walking and biking around the lakes, and also just hanging out on the porch drinking some & listening to music thx to nice BT speaker Tamara was a perfect host, made us feel very welcome immediately. We will definitely be back!

Year-round enjoyment with all the comforts of home
Absolutely magical stay! The lake house was the perfect setting for making unforgettable family memories. We spent our days kayaking on the peaceful water, our evenings around the fire pit roasting s’mores, and our nights playing board games with the grandparents. Watching squirrels play in the trees each morning was a delight for everyone. Cozy, clean, and full of charm—this place felt like home from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to come back!

Sunset Bay, 2023 Hot Tub!
Booked a stay with some friends for a long weekend at the lake and Heidi’s place was absolutely perfect! She was always responsive, and well prepared with everything we needed from towels to basic kitchen utensils and everything in between. The hot tub was a huge perk and we also had fun taking the kayaks out on the lake. Definitely would recommend booking with Heidi for anyone looking for a relaxing escape near the twin cities!

MINNeSTAY* St. Croix Islands Escape | Spring Break
The house was nice. Pictures were accurate. The neighbors are friendly.

Beachfront Lake Home with Jacuzzi Hot Tub
Beautiful home with peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the hot tub, making smores around a fire, swinging our 1 year old on the rope swing, and many more activities. I was the most impressed with all the fun toys available for our daughter. She had a blast and so did we! Will definitely return in the future.

Nordic Harbor Haus - Lake living!
Just beautiful and cozy. Felt right at home and comfortable in this gorgeous house. Was bigger than expected. Kitchen was fully stocked and easy to make a meal. Beds were really comfortable. My kids loved the bunk and arcade games. Would love to come backs in the summer.

Lakefront Charm: Your Cozy Studio Escape!
This small unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. As a host, Lucie was very communicative and her hospitality was thoughtful and gracious. She provided snacks and bathroom toiletries. With a couple of quirks, everything worked as it was supposed to. One quirk was that the shower will spray water out into the bathroom when you turn it on unless you make sure that the curtain is pulled. Another is that when you turn on the TV, the screen just shows snow, so you have to figure out how to use the remote and the menu system in order to watch Netflix. There is apparently no general TV, if that matters to you. Wi-fi was fine. The lake location is pretty and quiet. Lucie offered us the use of her kayaks. However, it's not really a neighborhood where you can go for walks, so this is a location that you either can use as a base for doing other things in the area, or a place to relax in, along with the deck where you can sit outside. Lucie does a good job for her guests.

Tree Top Linden Hills - 2 blocks to lakes
Nice cozy spot for the family to stay. Felt right at home. Would stay there again!

Serendipity Escape - Relax and enjoy nature!
Bob & Lisa’s home was very beautiful & we felt right at home! Bob came out & greeted us soon as we got there, showed us around, & we’re always willing to help if needed! They are such wonderful hosts! We’ll definitely be back in the future!(:

Balsam Bird Nest on Balsam Lake
Space was great for the 2 of us, our friend joined for 2 of the nights and it was great all around. It's so walkable to everything. Host was very responsive to my questions.

Serenity Shores R&R rest up, relax & have fun
So great that we came here a second time! This property is a slice of heaven. Gorgeous sunset views. Kayaks and paddle boats were perfect for our young family being able to paddle to the sand bars and enjoy the lake. “Serenity” is such a perfect description. We will be back again next summer, Lord willing!

Entire 2BR apt. Comfy beds, convenient location.
It was a great place to stay for the weekend

Private upper unit (Apt B) near Beaver Lake
I was on the road for 23 hours before finally arriving at Tina’s. It was my first time to Minnesota and I am very glad that I chose her place for my family and I. It was peaceful, clean, quiet and very homely. We slept so soundly. It felt as though I hadn’t left home in how at peace we were. Tina responded to any queries I had promptly. I was clean, the kitchen is well equipped, and the bathroom is very clean. The only downside for me was that I didn’t book her place for a longer time. I am definitely going back for a longer visit. If you’re still reading this please book already before someone else takes your dates. You won’t regret it one bit! 😀

The Place Between The Lakes: Inspired & Peaceful
This location was fantastic for our family of 3! The home is lovely, immediately felt comfortable and we were able to enjoy the outdoor deck area so much! For families, this is a fantastic location. 2 blocks to the beach, one block to nice park on a quiet street and the hosts were amazing at having the home baby proofed and ready for our arrival. Overall, it was the little touches and kind hosts that make this place truly stand out, can’t wait to visit again!

Carriage house with private garden
What a charming, cozy and spotless cottage in a very private setting! The description was on point! Very quiet, wonderful neighbors and accessible to parks, restaurants, shopping, etc. Communication with the host was excellent with any concerns! She was lovely to chat with. I would definitely book again! Susan C.

Koselig Cottage on Medicine Lake

Cozy Lakefront 2 BR/1 BA Welcomes You!
If you ever want a true lake house experience with all of the fun but none of the dreaded lake house chores this is the place for you. It’s cosy and comes with all the amenities. The owner is a genuinely nice person. You are within driving distance of several “oh fer cute” Minnesota towns and the lake is right outside your door!

Cozy Downtown WBL Cottage one block away from lake
Wonderful place to stay and great location. Easy walking distance to the local downtown and the lake.

Cozy 3Bd2Bth Cabin at the Lake: Pines That Whisper
Enjoyed the welcoming by hosts, coziness, peaceful and private location near Half Moon lake. Beautiful sunsets, night sky, and nearby hiking trails we explored. Provides necessary amenities for a very enjoyable stay! Look forward to booking again.

Little House by Lake Phalen
We have stayed at Little House several times before and it is always a wonderful experience. I would say it's our favorite Airbnb location in the Twin Cities and if it's available to book, we always do!

Charming Linden Hills cottage by Lake Harriet
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!

Terryll Bayside Lake Home | Dock, Kayaks, Firepit!
Jordyns place was exactly as described. Plenty of room for all our family members. Extremely well stocked with towels, cooking and eating supplies, and other essentials, very clean with a relaxed and comfortable vibe. Definitely one of best Air B & B we've stayed at. Very responsive to our Questions and kept us informed as our check out day arrived. We will definitely stay here again when visiting family . Thank you for a great stay!
