Private Queen 1 BR Apartment in 4 BR Lakeside Home
Steven's place on the Lake is a hidden gem in a suburb of Minneapolis. The yards in the neighborhood are all 1 acres and on a dead end street which provided extra privacy. Even tough he lives upstairs I never really heard him. We really enjoyed all of the water foul! There are 2 beautiful swans,geese,ducks and sea gulls The patio has a table and a rocking bench. There is a dock that can be accessed by walking down stairs. Steven has literally though of everything you might need for your stay from spices to toiletries to charging ports. Communication was perfect. The shower has great water pressure and the kitchen area doubles as the laundry room. I felt like I was back in the 50s as far as how the decor goes. Keep your eyes open for lots of cool things! The only down side is a musty smell that is most noticeable upon entering.

Casa Verde | 7 Beds - 2 Living Rooms - Family Home
We had a small family reunion at David & Johnathan’s place and I’ve gotta say it was absolutely the perfect place. So much space! The photos don’t communicate how much room there is. The kids had so much fun and us adults were able to enjoy ourselves. It had everything we needed and was super accommodating. We will absolutely use this place again in the future. Thanks D & J!

Retreat to The Woods- 10 miles from downtown
We stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The place was so cute and cozy and was exceptionally clean! You’re close to great food and fun while also being one with nature! Jeremy and Sandra were great hosts and super helpful! Would absolutely recommend this place. Thank you!!

The Cozy Cottage
Cozy place with great location.

Fulton Retreat by the Lakes* 3BR* 50th and France*
Shawn was the most gracious host and his home was very comfortable. Although I didn’t stay long, it was just perfect.

Readys hidaway retreat with pontoon/available
Our family loved this place. Beautiful house and the pontoon was a huge plus

Beautiful home or 2 apartments Duluth/Spirit Mtn
Lisa was a great Host from the start. My Family and I needed an earlier check in so we could get too my Daughters Dance Competition in Duluth and she made it happen and responded very quickly. The place was very clean and felt at home. My family and I will definitely be keeping this place on the list to return too. I definitely recommend this place to stay.

Single or multiple nights-Book summer! #1419
This is just what we needed for a “home-base” while we went fishing up and down the North Shore rivers. Super convenient location in Two Harbors that’s close to everything in town. Amanda was very responsive if we ever had a question. Recommend.

Mary Ann's Up North
Second time we've stayed here, and hopefully not the last. Annie is always super responsive and helpful. The home is a great "home away from home".

Basecamp Bungalows - Home Base
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We had a wonderful time in GM for my daughters baby shower. Kaitlyn & Parker Slanga put on a great celebration. We love GM!

Stay Lincoln Park 1 | Walkability to Dining/Shops
Great neighborhood with restaurants and shops in walking distance. Not far from other parts of town that we wanted to see. Appreciated multiple parking spots we could use as street parking got full around the area.

Walk To Falls | Close To Everything | Fenced Back
Andrew's place was exactly as described! Easy to find. Easy to get in. Very clean. Tastefully decorated. Comfy bed. Nice towels. Good water pressure in shower. Easy pull down blinds to make it dark for sleeping. Easy to set thermostat. Comfy sofa and chair. Sidewalk on both sides of street. Very quiet, safe neighborhood. Snowed while we were there and somebody shoveled the front walk, which was wonderful. We always found a parking spot right out front, but alley access and parking were convenient too. Good access to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Easy directions for check-out.

Home Away- Little House Getaway.
Loved staying at the little house, and being able to bring our dog with was great. Clean place with comfortable beds and a well-stocked kitchen. Great selection of DVDs and board games. Very quiet area but also very close to restaurants, groceries, etc.

Adorable, tiny 2 bdrm cottage in downtown Ely
Aubrey was very responsive. My husband left his favorite shirt and Aubrey responded to his message immediately and said she would have his shirt sent to him. The house was in a perfect location, within walking distance to all the bar, shops and restaurants. It is a super cute and clean house and the fenced in backyard worked great for our dogs.

Lakeside, Family Friendly Cabin
Beautiful spot, friendly owners. could be mentioned in the listing that you have to share the amenities with the other cabins. Area was beautiful the beach was great.

"Walden Pond" Adventure Amidst 44 Private Acres
We enjoyed our stay at the Bungalow. Private, scenic, had anything and everything we needed. Appreciated the little things, like ice, the Brita, blankets, toiletries.

The Wandering Moose -Cabin Getaway, with Sauna!
Beautiful!!! So, so peaceful!! Seriously, it was soooo quiet.... Great place to recharge!

Bright And Warm Cabin Overlooking Shagawa Lake
Most immaculate place I’ve ever stayed. Spotless. There were 5+ deer directly out the windows during our entire stay. What a bonus! Coffee pot. Not a Keurig. Bring your own grounds. Kitchen is super stocked for cooking and eating. Some spices in cupboards. This place is SO private. No one around as far as the eye can see. Shagawa Lake is slightly visible from the upstairs, mostly if you’re sitting up in bed. Mattress is super, ultra soft. Not my style, but maybe someone else’s. Comfortably accommodates 2 people. 4 would be pushing it. No lock on bathroom door. We watched the sunrises and the sunsets. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to return soon.

Rustic Log Cabins on BWCA Wilderness Lake!
This is a wonderful off grid get away. We did a winter trip and pulled sleds with skis. Brought in water, coffee, and food. Made fires in the stoves for heat, and had a couple great saunas with cold plunges in the lake. Everything required work which is what my group was looking for. Wood to split, fires to feed, and lanterns to see at night. Close enough to ski back to the car and head to Ely anytime we wanted. Would recommend for unplugging from the busy world. Still had cell service if needed, but we stayed on airplane mode for the most part.

Nature Cabin | Cuyuna Matata
Stayed here with Spouse, 6yo child and Standard Poodle. This place is GREAT. Plenty of separation from the other cabins for the dog to run, and over 1/2 mile from road so there was little to none road noise. The view from the cabin looks to a sunrise over the river, and the wood stove is so soothing and creates that warm cozy atmosphere. The sauna was my favorite feature and I used it every day, doing repetitions from sauna to laying in the fresh snow. Obviously this used towels and the onsite washer and dryer allowed us to have fresh towels every day. Its an easy 11 min drive into Crosby where we could enjoy the restaurants and shops, even bringing back ice cream from Victual to enjoy at the cabin. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would gladly make this an annual winter vacation for our family!

Spring Awakening in a Lakeside Cabin
I booked last minute for a peaceful retreat...and the cabin was exactly the perfect spot for it. Home was beautiful, surrounding were calming, amenities as described, and a colorful sunrise. Excellent place to enjoy the scenery and recenter. Next time I will come a little earlier for the beautiful fall colors...and less hunters. Thank you for sharing your home.

Secluded cabin in beautiful river valley.
The cabin in Dakota was so peaceful, quiet, and secluded, while also being accessible. I have already booked my next trip.

Lakefront Cabin 6
Loved it…. Beautiful setting for a riding retreat. Cabin was clean and sits on a beautiful spot, restroom/shower building clean and maintained. Great hosts… responded quickly and worked with me on variable arrival/departure times. I’ll be back!

London Crossing Cabin
We had the best time at Brian and Jessica’s cabin! I booked it very last minute, after my previous plans had fallen through. We had one small issue with the water, and Brian was on top of it immediately! By the time we got home from breakfast at Betty’s Pies, it was resolved. The space is perfect, the privacy is just what we wanted, and that fireplace. Wow. I sat in the very comfortable recliner, staring at the fire, and reading, for hours. The place is very dog friendly. It is right off of the gravel road, where people drive fast, so if your dog is a runner just be sure to keep an eye on them.
Your guide to Minnesota
Welcome to Minnesota
Minnesota takes its name from the Dakota word for water, and the state has plenty of it. Its nickname, Land of 10,000 Lakes, is a conservative count: The best-known of the 14,000-plus bodies of water may be the border-crossing Lake of the Woods, the vast expanse of Lake Superior, and Lake Itasca, best known as the source of the Mississippi River. Facing off across that same river, Minnesota's largest city and its state capital, Minneapolis and St. Paul, come together as the Twin Cities. Here, you'll find fervid sports fans, a beloved craft beer scene, an artists’ community, and the enormous, tax-free shopping paradise of the Mall of America. Despite the reputation for frigid winters in the Upper Midwest, nothing in Minnesota slows down for the snow or ice. When the weather obliges, people flock to skating rinks, ski runs, snowshoe trails, and ice-fishing spots. In summer, the state’s parks fill up with bikers, hikers, and campers, while the boaters, swimmers, and water skiers head to Minnesota’s many waterways.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Minnesota
All four seasons come on strong in Minnesota, but don't let the incredibly chilly winter keep you away. The icy northern climate brings out the state's best, in the form of bare-chested football fans cheering in subfreezing temperatures, snowy wonderlands for outdoor recreation, and cozying up in one of the state’s numerous cabin rentals. Spring and fall temperatures vary greatly as the weather shifts from extreme cold to extreme heat. While summers in Minnesota can be excessively warm, they also open up a world of outdoor activities, including boating of all types on its rivers and lakes. Summer also ushers in the king of all statewide events: the Minnesota State Fair.
Top things to do in Minnesota
Minnesota State Fair
For two weeks near the end of August, the Twin Cities hosts one of the largest — and arguably the best — state fairs in America. More than 2 million people a year attend the celebration of the state's agriculture, arts, and industry, where they stuff themselves on classic fried fair food, ride the rides, and admire farm animals and equipment.
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
Stretching along Minnesota’s northern border, this 19,000-acre park includes 1,500 miles of canoe routes and 2,000 campsites. Novice and expert boaters alike flock to the area for paddle-powered adventures, and the occasional chance to see the Northern Lights.
Twin Cities Arts Scene
With two major art museums — the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center — plus lots of smaller ones, the Twin Cities offer plenty to look at. Add to that a thriving theater scene and the Paisley Park compound, a living shrine to the late local legend and global pop star.
