Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Minnesota

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!

Great place stay between Two Harbors and Duluth. Nice atmosphere and quiet neighbors. Would stay here again.

It was cold one night and my kids wanted to have a swim after dark. Samantha's husband came over and turned the heat up on the pool to make sure we could have a swim and create some great memories. Samantha was extremely responsive and flexible with check-in time. Everything was clean and beautiful. They also had nice sound bars and subwoofers on both televisions to make movies on the big TVs that much better. My kids raved about how nice the house was and how much fun they were having. Thanks, Samantha!

This place was fantastic! Exactly what we were looking for on our getaway trip. Quiet location to relax and enjoy the hot tub in the evenings. Quick trip to town for anything. Will definitely be back!!

Second stay here and I almost hesitate to give a review because it's a secret I'd like to keep to myself for the particular week of the year I've come up! I don't want someone else to snag it for next time! ;) Beautiful, clean, practical, excellent location if your intention is to enjoy the parks.

This is our second year staying here. It has been a great stay both times!

Our stay at Agua Norte was absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Loft and loved the space. It’s exactly as described and the property is even more beautiful than the pictures. So close to the town and other great things to do but feels very private and secluded. It is a shared property but still feels private with each space. We loved it so much we didn’t even do all the adventuring we planned because we just loved being there! The Sauna was also wonderful, easy to book, and had a stunning view. We would absolutely come back!

We had a great, relaxing vacation. The owners live RIGHT next door, so if you are looking for a place with privacy, this place is not for you. David was around and helpful if needed but not overbearing. If you are looking for a place to relax on the Lake, this would be a good place. David has a dog named Mesa, and we enjoyed it when she visited us and wanted to play catch.

I love this little spot in downtown Fergus Falls. Not only is it close to parks, walking paths, shops, and restaurants, but it's close to my family. This is our second stay. We've already booked a third and are contemplating a fourth. It feels like home and we so love it. The place is spotless, very quiet, always comfortable, and Bill provides detailed instructions, so there's never any question about what is expected.

I enjoyed my visit at Beth's, stayed for a week and the bed was super comfortable! Great value, I highly recommend!

My friend and I have stayed here twice now for writing retreats and just love it. First of all the aesthetics and design are just right on with lovely natural light, no clutter, and high end choices. Everything is functional and beautiful and comfortable. I am amazed at the hosts ability to design a space. Second of all, the coffee shop downstairs is so great and has a great vibe. It is also right on a hiking trail. For a writing retreat, it was perfect.

This wonderful Airbnb is exactly as pictured on the website. Comfy, cozy and private, it was just the vibe I was looking for while staying in Minneapolis. The neighborhood the home is located in is super family friendly, and Sara was a lovely host with great communication. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Minneapolis!

Kurtis and Sarah were responsive, when needed, friendly, and helpful. The place was very clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed for the comforts of home. There were full size shampoos, conditioners, and creams to use, hair dryer, microwave, hot pot, coffee maker, stove with oven, refrigerator, toaster, pots, pans, and kitchen ware, as well as snacks to take for outings. They also provided a fan if needed for when it is hot, and the space heater, which we used when it was chilly. It was only five minutes from where our daughter lives. We highly recommend their place!

Beautiful place, as described, and the little touches (food, snacks, etc) were very nice to have. Would recommend to anyone!

Darwin’s Digs is a historic, comfortable and welcoming space from which to explore the Twin cities. Its prime location and low density makes it easy to access central entertainment, sports, convention venues and restaurants without the need for a car. The light rail US Bank stop from MSP is a pleasant 15 minute walk. Chris is a wonderful host and as a fellow adventurer has equipped the studio with everything - plus! The mini umbrella and the basement luggage storage were a lifesaver. The bed, linens and pillows are high quality and super comfortable. I personally loved the claw foot tub and the wire shelf in the bathroom was handy for organizing. Would definitely return or look further afield at the rest of Chris’s listings.

The pictures do not do this air bnb justice. We loved this air bnb and one of the best we have stayed in. The home is nice and inviting. It was super clean and everything worked as it should. The air bnb was nicely done and didn’t have any squeaky floors. The residence is separate from the main hosts. They will wave and say hi but they are not a bother. They are responsive as well. There is WiFi from 6am-10 pm, which wasn’t an issue for us. With most air bnbs, they give 1 roll of toilet paper but there are stores within 6 miles. Theres lot of parks and shopping in the area and it’s a safe neighborhood. There is a love seat in the living room. The only small complaint is the bed is not as pictured. My husband is very tall and does not fit in bed with a footboard. The bed in the listing showed one without a footboard but when we got there, there was a different bed frame. Not a huge issue though and we made it work.

We loved our stay at this charming, clean and comfortable unit. The location was great, close to the Macalester campus, coffee shops and other local spots. Also Jean-Claude was a responsive and kind host. We would definitely come back!

This was my first visit to the North Shore (WOW!) and Mikhala's space made it perfect! The view of Lake Superior was stunning and I enjoyed having morning coffee on the walkout patio. The space was very clean and the bed super comfortable. I appreciated the well stocked toilet paper, paper towels, soap, towels, blankets, and pillow options. Tofte was a great central hub for all the hiking trails on my bucket list + Grand Marais was an easy/beautiful drive and I highly recommend eating at the Angry Trout - it was best meal I've had in a very long time! I loved it here so much I extended my stay an extra night. Highly recommend, especially if a solo traveler like me.

Such an amazing spot for a weekend getaway. This place matched the description and pictures 100%. Beautiful area with so much to do!

We really enjoyed our time in Two Harbors. The location of this property was nice and secluded. We enjoyed the geese, walking trails, sauna, community room, and overall atmosphere. Missy was very quick, responsive, and kind. Thank you, God Bless!

Karen’s place had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like home. The park right in front of the house made evening walks especially enjoyable. I’d recommend it to other guests!

We were looking for a place to stay as a family of 4 visiting the city and exploring local parks. Everything we explored was well within 20 minutes of this place. Our two boys (5 and 3) had a blast. This space is very accommodating for families. There were kids toys and books as well as outdoor toys/balls for our boys to play with. Grown ups enjoyed sitting on the deck after the kids went to bed soaking up the nature scenery. Jeanne’s cat Benny would greet us outside as we came and went. He certainly was a highlight of our trip and was so sweet. We will definitely be back!

Abby and Zach were excellent hosts! She provided thorough information on the check in as well as little things to know about the space. I appreciated the mid-stay "I hope all is going well" communication, and it was aj added bonus to meet them up in the common area while we were there - super nice and helpful folks. Also? This may be one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in while traveling! Thanks again for sharing a fantastic space in a beautiful location with us.

Awesome experience, beautiful location with private lake entrance. Place was clean and taken care of!
