Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Goodhue County

Mallory’s place was a wonderful retreat for our family of four over a long weekend. The grounds are beautiful - we took lots of walks, did some fishing, and enjoyed the trampoline. Being able to bring our dogs along huge plus. Having complimentary coffee and a few adult beverages was a nice addition.

This was the perfect place for a quick cozy weekend getaway! We only had plans to stay in for games and crafts, cook some delicious food, and watch movies. Everything we needed was easy to find in the well outfitted and organized kitchen, we had extra blankets for subzero overnight temps, and the extras scattered around the house as came in handy with some forgotten items! We will definitely be back again!

We needed a place for our family to gather for our son's wedding and this worked great. The living room area was easily the best and most used place, very large. Bedrooms were all good size and comfortable. Bathrooms were nice! The layout is very unique, but nothing bad. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and enjoyed walking our less than one grandson around the nearby park.

The Franklin Cottage is a beautiful and friendly place to stay with family. Our family felt right at home, like staying with family. The kitchen had everything we needed. The fridge was cold and ready for all our goodies. The location is ideal for a private stay and easily accessible to areas of downtown Red Wing. Highly recommend for all those that are mobile and can easily navigate steps. Thank You to our fabulous hosts and house manager.

The home was perfect for a girls weekend away; such a nice layout for cooking and catching up together. The home was so clean and looked exactly as posted. I would absolutely recommend.

Wow….what a beautiful place. Everyone commented how nice and ‘hygge’ everything felt. We were 3 adults with 4 teens and the place was just perfect. Definitely a perfect 10. We’re already planning a return visit.

This place was perfect for our visit to Red Wing. We would love to stay here again.

Great as always, lake looks beautiful no matter what season it is.

Perfect place to spend the night after hitting the slopes at Welch. It had everything we needed, and the hosts provided lots of helpful information. And the bed was super comfortable!

Great location and we loved the vibe of the place. The host was very helpful and quick to respond.

Would highly recommend. Worked great for my 2 girls and myself. They loved seeing all the animals and petting them. Welch village is close to ski in the winter and canoe in the summer.

worked perfect for our river walleye fishing trip right across road from boat ramp

We’ve been taking long weekend vacations to Red Wing this time of year for many years and found Stephanie’s place for the first time last year. We’re very happy that we could stay here again this year! It’s within walking distance of historic downtown Red Wing, near many shops, restaurants, historic sites and beautiful scenery. We’ve enjoyed staying at Stephanie’s Apt. twice (so far) and like being in a small town neighborhood instead of a hotel/motel on the main strip. We also wander around being 'tourist's' the whole time and it's a relaxing place to put up your feet at the end of each day!

This is a very cute little space above a bar, over looking the water. We had a group of friends in town for an event and had a great time. The rooms were spacious, very clean, just what we needed. You can hear the music from the bar but that was made very clear at the time of booking, we expected it and actually enjoyed it!

This scenic spot is well-appointed and super comfortable! Stylish and contemporary with everything we needed—including a great bedside lamp with a wireless phone charger that was a saving grace for one of us who forgot a charging cord! The bedrooms were cute and the beds were extremely cozy. Would definitely recommend and will likely return!

We enjoyed our stay - extremely walkable to downtown with restaurants and shops, convenient location across from a grocery store, quiet neighborhood, and comfortable place to spend a few days while in Red Wing! The historic charm of the house, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods was a highlight for us. This appears to be a 3 unit converted historic house, and while we could tell there were occupants on the top floor above, it was very quiet and private. We'd be happy to stay here again during a future visit!

We had a wonderful experience at Great River Flats in Lake City! Beautiful views by the water and a beautiful condo! I forgot my necklace and the host reached out to let me know their housekeeper found it. We never heard any of our neighbors at all! Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip to Lake City!

We had a great stay! The condo matched the description perfectly. Something to note - the bunk beds don’t feel the most solid but our kids did fine on them for one night. The couch isn’t the most comfy since it’s a sleeper sofa. Also, while we had everything we needed for one night in the kitchen, it is very bare bones in terms of what was available for kitchen items. We would stay again if it’s a shorter visit!

This condo is a really nice place. Very secure, very roomy, excellent view of Lake Pepin, and great furnishings including comfortable beds, towels, kitchen furnishings, etc. However, there were several glaring issues. The first is the complete lack of any window covering for the large windows that look out over the lake and highway immediately in front of the unit. Not a problem during the day but we felt a complete lack of privacy during the non-daylight hours. Second is a very loud and obnoxious HVAC system. Lastly was the non-stop traffic noise from the highway directly in front of the unit.

It was a rainy cool weekend so having the fireplace was a bonus to making it feel cozy. Appreciated the blackout shades.

Absolutely would not hesitate to return! Loved the sunrises on the patio, comfortable bed and pillows, and very spacious. Worth knowing for your stay: I’d say the kitchen has your essentials for cooking, but no extras like foil, ziplock, coffee, seasonings, etc so be prepared if you plan your cook. The lighting is pretty much all or none. With no lamps in the living room area, I pulled out one from the bedroom during our stay so we didn’t have to have the bright lights on. The garage and parking lot is narrow. If you have a large SUV or truck, it will be could be difficult to get in and out of. For reference, we have a VW Atlas and it was tight getting in/out of garage. More positives: Nice touch having a cozy blanket available to use. The rooftop area is wonderful and you can’t beat the view.

We really enjoyed our stay. The space was perfect for us, clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped. The management team was very responsive to any questions we had. We will be back!! Thank you

Fantastic place. Very calm and relaxing with outstanding views.

This place was absolutely beautiful! It was so nice for my little family and my dad! We enjoyed the view and the proximity to the walking path. We can’t wait to come back in the future!
