Cottage vacation rentals in Minnesota

beautiful home to stay in, better than the pictures suggested. very cozy and a great place to relax after exploring Minnesota. the hot tub is a wonderful addition, and I highly recommend walking down and watching the sunrise in the morning.

We stayed for an extended Super Bowl/birthday weekend and had a great time. Super responsive to messages when there was a very small issue and checked in multiple times to make sure all was well. We would love to go back in summer. Very efficient space for a large group and the new hot tub was a hit with everyone in our party. Thank you!

We had 7 girls stay here for a bachelorette weekend getaway and we LOVED it! The house is so full of historic charm while still offering a fully modernized kitchen, bathrooms and entertainment systems. We loved being far enough away from the busy downtown Stillwater scene to enjoy a little sanctuary time, but also being close enough to either drive or walk (about 20 minutes walking) to get downtown to all the fun shops and restaurants of DT Stillwater.

Property was spacious, well maintained, and clean. Host provided clear instructions and was always friendly, proactive and responsive. This definitely contributed to an overall positive vacation experience!

Extremely clean. We had everything we needed and more. Many organic details which we appreciated. Garden and chickens were amazing. Made a fresh garden salad one night. Would stay again for certain. One of the best airbnb I have stayed in.

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!

Nathan’s place was great! It’s walkable to downtown Stillwater, and the home itself is funky and fun. Nathan was a kind and responsive host, and he accommodated our needs well. Definitely worth the stay. Thank you!

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.

My pup and I felt right at home. comfortable beds and a beautiful view of the lake...what more could a weary traveler ask for? really awesome place. highly recommend...

I really enjoyed my 4 nights at Knife River. Paula was very responsive and the home was well equipped and had everything we needed. I enjoyed the near by river trail, smoked fish shop, and candy store. Two harbors is only a 15 minute drive as well. My dog is fearful of other dogs, and this was a great place for her to take a break from city living and enjoy nature without too many other dogs around. I would love to visit again in the winter since it seems there may be some local events going on during that time!

This was a very cozy home with a cottage feel, loved the fenced in yard since we brought our dog with. Will definitely recommend!

My dog and I were on a road trip back to the east coast, and I selected Lisa's place due to it's location and for being dog friendly - we stayed one night. I really liked Lisa's place. It was clean, cozy, and had everything a traveler would need. The house was nestled in a really nice, established neighborhood just outside of the city center, which I thoroughly enjoyed seeing on foot with my dog. There was a great veteran-owned coffee shop (Rick's) just a short two-block walk from the house, which itself was dog friendly (dogs allowed in to order, with a dog friendly patio outside). Lisa had set a dog bed out in the living room for us, which I thought was super thoughtful. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and experience, and would recommend Lisa's place to anyone traveling to or through Minneapolis.

The place was just what it said it was. It was clean, she had fun snacks and drinks for us. Every thing you need is right there and more. She communicated well with me. It was so easy to check in and out. Love it and highly recommend for girls get away.

We LOVED our stay at this amazing historic and charming home. Everything about was wonderful -cannot say enough good things! And the host Kathryn was a wonderful communicator who was proactive at reaching out and making sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. It made for a perfect stay in Grand Marais.

A perfect home base for a stay in St. Paul, near colleges, good grocery stores and shops. We enjoyed the convenient access and on-street parking. The compact footprint of the house makes it best for one person or a small group. The stairs and tight bathroom are fine for able adults but might not work for folks with mobility issues. The basic kitchen was ideal for the simple we prepared and enjoyed at the spacious light-filled dining room. We enjoyed the house very much and hope to come back.

Beautiful view, comfortable cabin and located in a nice place

Holly's place was just what we needed. The inside was really clean and well decorated. Outside the lake was quiet and it was fun to have a few water toys like the lily pad and kayaks. We got a lot of use out of the sauna. Holly was always responded quickly when we had questions. Great place for a get away. We will have to come back!

Quaint and peaceful cottage on the water. Not a lot of frills but just the space to get away. It was affordable compared to other places in the area and since I did have to work, it was nice to have reliable WiFi!

I was staying here with three other friends for a birding trip. We really enjoyed the place, were very comfortable, and had close proximity to Sax-Zim Bog for our birding trip. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are birding the bog!

The house is gorgeous and exactly as described. The weather was too good during our stay but we enjoyed looking out the windows all day and seeing the animals and birds enjoy the bird houses. We also liked seeing people enjoying themselves on the lake. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything you could ever ask for.

We had a lovely stay at this cozy cabin right on the lake. The location was incredibly peaceful and relaxing, the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. We especially loved waking up to the beautiful view of the water each morning and watching all the birds on the water. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet lakeside getaway!

This place is phenomenal! So cute, so private, has everything you need, beautiful lake views, I could go on and on! Deanne is so thoughtful and really went above and beyond to give us a great honeymoon - she had a congratulatory card and chocolates for us at the house. We loved the backyard and lake and all of the wildlife in the area! 10/10 would recommend staying here!!

The house was great, exactly as pictured. We loved the backyard and walk down to the dock. She even let us use the paddle boards and helped us find life jackets too. Would love to come back! Highly recommend.
