Family-friendly vacation rentals in Carver County

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!

We had a great weekend staying at Eric’s listing! All the amenities were top notch and the home was very clean and nicely decorated. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this listing to our friends and family!

This is our 2nd stay celebrating our family Christmas. Plenty of space and the basement is perfect for hanging out. The downstairs counter, fridge, pool table, and TV area worked great for watching Christmas movies and relaxing before we headed out to see Jim Brickman at the Pantages theater. Centrally located for easy access to sport and concert venues. Jill is responsive and has great restaurant recommendations. The property is as described and we had the best time! Thank you, Jill, for kicking off the Christmas season!

I brought my small church youth group to MN and stayed at her place. Beautiful place, cozy like home, perfect place for bonding. Her details for decor and everything that we might need are just superb, amazed me. The kitchen is pretty equipped with spices, seasonings, all the stuff that we need for a short stay. My husband loveees the coffee table area, different set of coffee machine and options. The place is very spacious, just like the photos, plenty of spaces outside and inside to have a cozy afternoon with long tables. Her game boards and books along with the other amenities keeping my youth entertained and bonding with each other. Sarah will go above and beyond to help us and to ensure we rest comfortably and accomodate what we need. Her home feels like home with aesthetic touch and design from entrance to living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and basement all covered. Thanks Sarah, I truly appreciate your hospitality and your heart to serve others.

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.

One of the best airbnb homes I've stayed at! Four friends and I were visiting Northfield for our 35th college reunion, and it was such a pleasure staying in Barry's lovely, spacious home where we could relax in the many comfortable spaces--especially the porch with it's beautiful views overlooking the surrounding landscape during cool summer mornings and evenings. The communication was excellent and check-in and check-out went smoothly. We hope to back in 5 years!

We loved Kristian and Joe’s place! It was absolutely amazing and the cutest little tiny home, which when checking in Joe informed us it was a converted office/ tiny home. You would never know, because it’s just so comfy and gives a cabin vibe! There’s lots of gear they provided that my partner and I got to use, specifically the canoe at sunset! Absolutely breathtaking and 10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

We had an amazing stay! Sasha was responsive, proactive, and caring!

Everything was wonderful! I would recommend for business groups.

Was well worth the stay. Very much enjoyed my time there and would recommend to anyone.

Great location and easy parking! Cute place and no issues checking in

Great place, private, quiet and real close to Macalester campus. Quaint and cozy vibe. Responsive and helpful host.

So peaceful and just what I needed to concentrate and get work done while exploring the city. I was also able to extend my stay by one night extremely quickly and with no issue. Laundry room was great.

Lovely duplex, hosts live on upper level and are quiet. Right on the Mississippi River and close to restaurants. House has a lot of character and gives a great blend of city and country feel. Would recommend!

This is a very wonderful place on the first floor of the home. ideally located next to a wonderful food co-op and lots of great restaurants. The interior is very homey with a large kitchen, and artwork. hung elegantly everywhere, and the bathroom has unique tilework and sink bowl. Josh is extremely accommodating and available and friendly. Highly recommend this place if you're in the Minneapolis area!

Emily was very responsive and flexible. Her place is super cute and comfortable. There’s joy in every space. The instructions are posted in all the right places to avoid any frustrations like I’ve had at other places. I would highly recommend staying here!

This is comfortable stay with a very convenient location for exploring the Twin Cities. We enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Barb’s place! The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The beds were incredibly comfy. The location was also convenient, and Barb was friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

This is the second time we have stayed with John and Melanie. It was great three night stay. We may just do it again in 2025.

Very comfortable and easy stay at Jody’s place. It was very comfortable with a great layout everything we needed. Comfortable bed and great decor-a that made it feel like home. We would definitely stay at Jody’s place again if in the Minneapolis area.

Our stay at David’s Airbnb was truly wonderful! David is such a kind and gracious host, always ready to lend a hand whenever we needed it. The space itself was peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect spot to unwind. We highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

The Lane House was the perfect place to stay while we were celebrating. It was the perfect “home base” for our friends and family over the weekend, was a great place to host a small gathering, and was a lovely place to rest and recuperate during our down time. All of the hosts are friendly, helpful, and communicative. They left really beautiful, personal touches all around the home that made us feel so welcomed. The home itself is gorgeous, historic, and well-maintained. Everything was spotless, from the comfortable bedrooms, to the spa-like bathroom, to the kitchen and other common spaces. My only regret is not staying longer! Would highly recommend and certainly hope to return one day!

Had a great stay at George and Judy's after I sold my home and needed a nearby place to recoup. George and Judy even came to Minneapolis to attend my art opening that week which was really nice of them. Place was spotless and had what I needed -including a delightful box of toffee chocolate that was very good.

Chris was welcoming easy-going and very accommodating
