Family-friendly vacation rentals in Carver County

My stay was fantastic! Everything was clearly labeled and described in the unit. I didn’t have to guess how to use any of the appliances, like the coffee bar - which was a treat. Their place was perfect for a relaxing getaway, with a spa and hot tub. As a single traveler, I felt cozy and safe my entire stay. Colleen and Aaron are kind hosts.

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!

Eric’s place was great! The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, seasonings and even a few small groceries items! The hot tub was easily accessible through the back bedroom patio doors. It was the perfect end to our day! Location was awesome as well, just 5-10 minutes from downtown. Would stay again!

We were so happy with our stay. The home is just as described and Jill was very friendly. I would love to book again if we’re in the area.

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.

We now stay at this cozy cottage yearly for a family, mother/daughter trip. My husband and I are also interested in staying for our own romantic get away sometime. It is the perfect blend of city perks combined with a wooded, lake view natural environment. We also loved enjoying the huge hot tub outside right in the middle of winter. It was a joy all around that we can’t wait to enjoy again and keep recommending!

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!

Richard’s place was an 11 out of 10! A comfortable, clean, well appointed, conveniently located accommodation! Richard’s communication was proactive and very responsive. As we stayed for over a week, it was so great to have a washer and dryer. It snowed while we were there, and Richard‘s snow removal service promptly cleaned up the sidewalks, parking area, and stairs up to the apartment. The offstreet parking put my mind at rest, too. I look forward to booking Richard’s place in the future!

Loved our holiday stay at Jeff and Sarah’s. The location was great for us as we walked to Bde M’kaska,

Great location- easy to walk to a lot of places, also a very cozy home.

Great place to stay with our dogs! Thanks for a great stay.

There was a lack of communication from the start, but once everyone was on the same page, we were fine! The beds were very comfortable and the place was spacious for the 4 of us.

This was our second time staying at this Air BnB and we will definitely be back. It’s a great location on a quiet street in the Minneapolis Art District. Josh is a great host who is quick to respond to questions.

I will remember the Jetson house forever and will hopefully get to stay there again soon!

Emily’s place was safe, cozy and clean ! Perfect for a quick but peaceful stay!

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

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.

Super cute little basement apartment, just enough kitchen space for a fun cooking project. Perfect for a local getaway -- excellent location and cozy vibe.

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!

We had a great time staying at the Fungalow! Everything was clean and the instructions were very clear, all we had to do was show up and enjoy. There wasn't a water filter when we booked the reservation, but the host was happy to pick one up for us prior to check-in. We spent a lot of time walking to nearby bars and restaurants, there was so much to do. You don't get bored staying here, and we sure didn't.

Cute, cozy and comfortable. Sweet, quiet little neighborhood, with lots of great local food nearby.

Very cute little cottage in a beautiful location. 2 deer came right up to the front window and stared at us. Very clean and the owners were very responsive to the couple questions we had. It had amenities we needed but the TV was confusing. We wanted to watch the morning news with our coffee but couldn’t seem to find local news channels.

Beautiful modern renovation of a 19th century building, with stunning design and decor. Lovely wood floors, tall ceilings, open kitchen and living room area. Great art and design books and magazines too!
