Vacation rentals with a kayak in Minnesota

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The house was perfect for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 teenagers). We especially enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, frisbee, and the chess table.

A wonderful house with a beautiful lake view. The house is spacious and we had plenty of room to spread out. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and in good order. Our kids loved the toys, games, and play kitchen, and of course the lake also. Joni was responsive, helpful, and flexible. It was lovely to have farm eggs available for us (they made excellent breakfasts!). We would definitely stay here again.

Our group stayed here to go to the women’s state bowling tournament! The location was great and her place fit 16 girls! Very roomy, kitchen area very large we could hang out and play games. Plenty of bathrooms and places ti sleep! We all would highly recommends this home! Has everything you need!

Our little family of 3 and 2 dogs stayed here for several days. This cozy home looks exactly like the photos, but the view from the back porch was more stunning in person. Check in was seamless. The beds were clean and comfortable. The home smelled good and the central air and upstairs wall AC worked great. The home includes all the listed amenities. The coffee and tea bar were fully stocked, but we preferred daily visits to the coffee and pastry shop just a couple blocks South of the home. The pastries are excellent. The local grocery store, park and boat landing are also in close walking proximity. We enjoyed fishing and boating on Big Stone Lake so the private dock was perfect. We'd happily stay here again. Tip: do not lock the bottom door knob on the back porch or you'll get locked out. The host was responsive and the issue was resolved quickly. Also, you may want to bring house shoes because the original hardwood floors are dusty.

One of the most beautiful, peaceful places I’ve stayed! An absolute must for anyone looking for a peaceful escape!

Amanda's place was a comfortable place to relax and enjoy some quiet time before the holidays. In addition to the amenities listed, we also enjoyed a couple beautiful sunrises over the lake and its proximity to local restaurants and coffee shops.

Wonderful location on a peaceful lake. Great accommodations - we had 9 women staying and plenty of beds, bathrooms and relaxing areas to hang out - both the dining area and living room. The kitchen is very well stocked and extras very much appreciated! Easy distance to town and parks/lakes/bike trails. House was very clean and well cared for - neighborhood very peaceful. Check in and out was easy and appreciate our hosts proactive and helpful communication. Thank you!

Our family loved this place. Beautiful house and the pontoon was a huge plus

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!

Our family really enjoyed the stay. The place was easy to find. Water activities were enjoyed by our family. Chris recommended a couple of restaurants we enjoyed one as we had a cookout at the campfire pit on the second night we were there. Calm and peaceful. Easy access to the lake from the Bay Area the place was on.

Sarah was very efficient with communication, and the house has everything you could need and more! Very relaxing and great trip! Would highly recommend!

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!

We really enjoyed our stay at Valerie's cabins. We loved the location, which is close to Sax Zim Bog and the Wilbert Cafe. The main cabin and additional cabin were perfect for our group of three birders. The kitchen was big with lots of amenities and the heat worked great. We are all from Florida and were warm and toasty, even with temps below zero. The wood stove was a nice touch and added ambience. I would highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again on my next visit.

The cabin was easy to find and has the most amazing views! We came at the end of the season for a family reunion but I’m sure during the summer this place is even more stunning!! Since it was off season we got to bring our dogs and they loved the area and all the fun smells. The main road outside of the resort was great for walks! The cabin was clean, had a great internet connection, and being so close to the water was awesome. My husband was able to catch some small fish right off the dock outside our cabin, which was fun! If given the opportunity we would stay again!

The cabin was perfect for me and my 3 adult children and their SO’s for a weekend “up north.” It seemed to be 10 minutes from everywhere we wanted/needed to go, there was plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable. Most of use used the kayaks, which was fun. The bay the cabin is on was perfect for that. The kitchen table was big enough for all of us to sit around and play games. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The cabin was very clean and comfortable overall. “Check-in” and “check-out” couldn’t have been easier. We stayed in April, to attend a family wedding in the area, and the price at that of year was very reasonable. Finally, Emily, the host, was friendly, she was proactive in sending us the info we needed, and responsive when to any questions we had.

Leann was great. She answered my questions promptly and gave good information on local lakes to fish including their own lake. Very accommodating as we had a family emergency during our stay and was willing to let us leave early and comp us accordingly. We ended up sticking it out with about half our normal group. The others were on the way but turned around to head home due to unforeseen circumstances. We ended up working out a deal to stay again next year for the same family vacation to help out with the added costs this year due to only having about half the people we were expecting. I would highly recommend. There is a ton of sleeping and if you spend a little extra for the garage space with games, full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and 10 beds it is well worth it. 5 + star rating. Can’t wait to come next year!

I LOVED my stay at Loon Lake Lodge. Andrea and Derek are super friendly and helpful, and the entire area is so beautiful and quiet. The pizza and ice cream sandwiches are a fun treat. I started every day with about an hour back and forth between the sauna and the lake, both absolutely perfect. There is a pretty good chance I'll be back next September!

We absolutely loved our stay at Leon’s cabins. They really thought of everything in these cabins and we had more than we even knew we needed. I cant say enough wonderful things about Leon who was such a thoughtful host. The cabin he built was absolutely beautiful. We loved every inch of it. His property was so private and peaceful. We have never said we would want to return to an airbnb until now. We cant wait to book again. Thank you, Leon for the most perfect stay!

What a cozy, comfy spot to enjoy steamy coffee on the beautiful screened in deck porch overlooking lake, fish from the dock or enjoy a bonfire at sunset on a private little beach! Quiet, clean and relaxing- a perfect getaway! We left an item at The Boathouse and Rob had it in the mail the same day! We look forward to a return visit!

Great place to stay for a quiet weekend. Colleen was a great host. Hopefully will book again in the future!

The Castaway Lakehouse was the perfect cozy place for our family of 4. We had our two boys (age 11 & 2) with us and they had a really good time. The place was immaculately clean & furnished. The views were beautiful. We appreciate that there were different places to sit down and relax on the property (both inside and out). We occupied mostly upstairs, whereas our sons had the space downstairs while being able to be a few steps away and hear everything that was going on. We wanted to be by a lake for our son’s Spring Break and were able to do so. It truly was a relaxing place where we were able to cook great meals in the kitchen too. We were able to have a bonfire and cast a few lines into the lake. You literally can dip your feet in the lake right off the deck! I highly recommend. We are adding this place to our list to come visit again in the future. Host was really responsive the entire time. Thank you Vicky and family for sharing your space!

I stayed at this cabin with my pup to explore a few nearby state parks and it was a perfect home base! It was very cozy, clean, and quiet. I ended up extending my stay by a night and Jennifer was very responsive to the request! Loved my time here!

We only live about 10 miles from this cabin, so Diane graciously allowed my husband and me to tour the property before deciding to rent it. We didn't stay in it ourselves, but rented it for our 2 daughters and their families to stay in, over Thanksgiving weekend. It worked out quite nicely. The kids said that it was a great place to stay and talked about possibly staying there again in the future.

A perfect place for our family of 5 and my parents to spend a long weekend. The beach area was great for the kids, and they enjoyed tubing behind the pontoon. Christine was a great host and even let us borrow her lilly pad for the kids to play on. The beds were super comfy and we had everything we needed as far as amenities. We’ll be back next summer for sure!
