Great quiet place to stay. Lots of convenient things around. We cooked almost everyday and had all we needed. Erik suggested several places to go and check out! Will stay again soon.

I had a lovely time staying at Lena's Suite :) I stayed to help family member move into her dorm at St. Olaf and this was the perfect location for my needs. Erik was quick to respond to my questions and an excellent resource for my questions about the area. Would highly recommend this place!

Great stay at Erik's house, on a very short notice. (2 hours). Really clean, lovely vintage home very well updated. Erik is a wonderfully friendly, great host, and I would happily stay there again anytime. Extremely comfortable bed, nice breakfast treats and snacks, as well as a Keurig for coffee or tea in the shared space. Flat screen tv in the bedroom. Very quiet neighborhood.

Great, clean place! We arrived to the house pretty late so it was really helpful that Erik made it so easy to check in.

My son stayed in the "purple room" and I stayed in the room next door. We both had a wonderful stay. He was there for one night, before a college visit to Carleton. I stayed both nights. The hosts made us feel right at home and we both fell in love with the cat, Gigi! If my son ends up in Northfield for college, we will definitely be back!!!!!

Friendly and comfortable.

The front door was literally open when I pulled into driveway, I didn't even need to ring doorbell. Eileen met me at the door with relaxed warmth but a casual feel that didn't feel gushy or overwhelming. She efficiently showed me my room and bathroom and gave me all pertinent information for my stay. The room is the bedroom of Eileen's college-age daughter. It is quite small: a single bed and a straight-back chair completes the furnishing. Adequate for one female for a brief stay. The room and its accompanying bathroom across the hall are immaculately clean and tidy as is the entire house. The room is still completely personalized to the daughter: her name, friends, photos, wall posters, hobbies etc. are prominent on every wall, nook and cranny and are decidedly "girly" in tone; the daughter was a dancer so ballet/ballerina/teenage girl decor is everywhere you look. A single guy with conventionally masculine tastes might feel extremely out of place and uncomfortable here, esp. if over the age of 45.. The room has not been at all "de-personalized" into a guest room so even females who prefer a more neutral, less intensely personalized space may feel overwhelmed by the daughter's persona. On the other hand guests who seek the feeling of being in a personalized home or who delight in lacy, frilly, flowery themes and don't require space to spread out will be fine. This isn't a place that you can temporarily make it feel like "yours"; it's too small and too intensely personalized for that. However the room is a good option for guests who don't mind that or even welcome it. The bathroom has everything you could want but again, is distinctively appointed in non-neutral, feminine accents. I was invited to share Sunday morning breakfast with hosts Eileen and Marvin (and a sweet cat named Gigi who seemed to fall passionately in love with me!) Eileen is sociable, intelligent and interesting; she has deep roots in the town of Northfield in several different directions so can guide you on pretty much anything you might need or want locally. Convenient short drive to local colleges, ultra-safe suburban neighborhood, quiet! No worries about loud neighbors, banging of elevators or vending machines, TVs or rowdy guests down the hall as you might find in local hotel/motels. Accommodations in Northfield are inadequate to meet the demand due to visits generated by the 2 colleges so airbnb opens some doors.

This is the first time I used AirBnb service and I couldn't have been happier. I really enjoyed the three days I spent at Eileen and Marvin's home, when I went there to visit my son who attends college there. I really liked their attention to detail and their efforts to make sure my stay there is very comfortable. Both of them are great hosts and I know where I am staying when I get back to the area :)

Marvin and Eileen were great hosts and very nice people. Their place is very comfortable and makes for a great stay!

Traveling all the way from south, I knew nobody in this beautiful state of Minnesota but my anxiety was thoroughly calmed and put to rest by Eileen, Marvin, Makayla and GiGi during my month's stay at their beautiful abode. Due to my unexpected change of work place, I panicked even more, but Eileen always replied on time and made sure that I moved in to their place smoothly and without any hassle. The home was exactly what it looked like in the pictures with all the amenities and so much more to offer. I had a very cozy room with a comfy bed and the adequate space to put all my stuff in. The bathrooms were all clean and hygienic. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and a short walk from downtown. They even let me borrow their bicycle for my stay to commute to my work place. The family always made sure I knew my surroundings well and were just a call/text away in case of any emergency or in case I got stuck. My parents were rest assured that I was in good hands once I moved in with them. I had the most wonderful stay with them, we explored new places and went on short trips around Northfield. We had a fun time exploring each other's cultures and knowing each other more during the oh-so-many-times they made me join them for food! Eileen and Marvin were like parent figures for me and always took utmost care of me and made sure I was never left out. I found a new friend in their daughter Makayla and shared a lot of stories and fun times with her too! I had a lot of humorous times and made some life long memories with them. They made me fall in love with Minnesota and the warm people here. I will love to visit and stay with them whenever I am back in this part of the country! I would love to host them when they visit me and would love to take care of them and show them around my place someday! I am sure I am taking back a lot of sweet memories and beautiful relations back with me :)

I had a wonderful stay in Eileen and Marvin's lovely home. They were very accommodating, the room was cozy and comfortable, and the cat is adorable! I would stay again when I next visit the area.

Eileen and Marvin were great hosts! They have a super clean home and had great info on the city of Northfield since they have been longtime residents. They are a very friendly couple and have a lot of experience hosting people in thier home. A definite recommend to anyone looking to stay in or around Northfield.

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. The rooms are clean, comfortable (including beds) and quiet- our biggest priorities. The rooms reflect a sense of care about guests, which fits with how Marie & John treated us. They struck a wonderful balance of friendly and available with leaving us to do our own thing. We had several different requests beyond the usual, and they were extremely gracious and helpful. Oh and the breakfasts were terrific- homemade yogurt, homemade granola, fresh bread or muffins. They told us that they love being hosts, and that showed in every element of our stay. The neighborhood is suburban, quiet, pleasant, and easy drive to town.

We have been in so many Air BnBs over last few years and I can say without any hesitation that Marie was one of the best host we have experienced. Everything was arranged to near perfection and we truly enjoyed our stay at Marie's place.

Marie and John did a fabulous job of welcoming us, being flexible on arrival time (of course with communication on both sides as things shifted), and of providing a wonderful space for us. We were visiting our daughter at one of the colleges, and the location was SO CLOSE. It was better staying with them than at any of the local hotels...both in terms of space, location, and amenities. We will definitely go back! Marie had gluten and dairy free options for me, and all of her breakfast offerings were delicious and plentiful.

Quiet neighborhood, very close to St. Olaf & Carleton campuses. Lots of space - it was like having our own suite! Tastefully & artistically decorated, and comfortable. Marie & John were very accommodating & gave us great recommendations for restaurants & places to walk. We'll definitely be back!

Marie did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. She got up very early to make sure breakfast was ready. The rooms were great. The beds were especially comfortable. The neighborhood was great. We ended up walking downtown one evening. We would gladly sign up with her again if we were to come to Northfield.

We highly recommend our delightful hosts, Marie & John, for their kindness & utmost care taken for their well-appointed accommodations in their lovely home. We appreciated the quietness, sleep comfort, spacious family room with TV, & scrumptious breakfasts. Extra special were the awesome mattress topped off by the lemon scones, rhubarb muffins, granola, & yogurt all homemade along with fresh fruit plus an adorable kitty that was practically invisible. We loved our visit to Northfield!

After a long flight,we returned home safely. The experience of living with Marie and John is still (URL HIDDEN) gave us very very nice memory. Clean ,warm and tidy room, homemade breakfast ,everything is so beautiful.Marie and John are friendly and helpful couple. Thanks you for your help. Welcome Marie and John to China! Xiaoyan and yongjun

They are the perfect hosts. Good communicators, lovely breakfasts, lots of space to spread out. They keep a book of activities in the area.

Barbara and Fred are delightful hosts--they greeted us and made sure we had everything we need, but also respected our privacy completely. The unit is beautiful, sparkling clean, and complete with luxurious touches such as throws, pillows, art on the walls, and cream, sugar, tea, coffee, etc. My teen aged son and I had plenty of room and privacy with the bedroom (for me--incredibly comfortable bed!) and the pull out couch (for my son--again, very high quality and comfortable). We will be back!

Once again Barbara was the perfect host, anticipating my every need it seems! Even a hairdryer right when I needed it most! And little snacks in the fridge, etc. Such a welcoming place and very quiet and private. Can't wait to stay again.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Northfield. Beautifully appointed apartment with welcoming details throughout; chocolates by the bed, water in the fridge, fresh baked goodies and more. The space is clean, modern, super comfy bed and beautiful, large bathroom. Barb and Fred were perfect hosts. Two big thumbs up.

Once again a fantastic and restful stay. Barbara is the consummate host, and everything is so clean and relaxing and wonderful. A very comfortable oasis.

Barbra's suite is private and exquisitely maintained. Comfortable with beautiful decor and extra touches, such as homemade muffins and an espresso machine. This place is within easy walking distance to St. Olaf campus. Do not hesitate to book here if you're in the area.

What a great place to stay especially if you are doing anything at St Olaf. Extremely friendly and accommodating hosts including Fin.

Barbara is the best host! We arrived very late at night and she came with a warm welcome along with her lovely dog Finny. She offered my daughter powdered ginger and brown suger to sooth her upset stomach. The muffins she made for us were amazing, and breakfast in the backyard was sweet. She even offered to drive us to Carleton College on the first day of school and to the bus pick-up station. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Barbara, Fred and Finley were such fantastic hosts. The house is on a beautiful tree lined street, with a gorgeous park-like garden in back. We were greet upon arrival - Finely is a sweetheart dog (not allowed in the suite downstairs but available for dog hugs for those who want them). Let me just say that after 10 minutes in the suite I never wanted to leave. Barb as the best taste! I happen to be a Houzz fanatic, obsessed with interior design and I was in heaven. The palate is soft grey. Every place you look there is a design element to capture your eye and bring comfort and pleasure. The living room has a dining bar (Barb made us yummy carrot muffins), Nespresso coffee maker, couch from trendy shop Room and Board as well as a desk area, comfy chair all perfectly set up to maximize the use of the space. The bathroom is Pottery Barn chic with a terrific large shower, Granite counter top, beautiful chrome fixtures all arranged with Barb's knack for style. It looks like it could be straight out a magazine. The bedroom has a large firm bed, soft linens, again with every designer detail - tray for the remote for the fan, adorable reading lights, full size dresser and closet. Please don't overlook the custom paint and the trim. I can go on and on ...

Mary is fantastic and her home and so close to down town and Olaf! Loved staying there. I felt right at home

You'll get two rooms here, with a private bath room. Both the rooms are quite big and you will enjoy yourself! Mary is really kind and cute. If you do want to experience a pleasant time, it's the place.

Suzie is a kind and personable host who did everything she could to make us comfortable. Many thanks.

Suzie was a wonderful host. I stayed in her flat (a whole floor of her house with its own separate entrance and bathroom, slightly beneath floor-level but with plenty of natural light) for three days and two nights. Her flat was clean, bright, and spacious—everything advertised and more. Suzie was very friendly, helpful in suggesting local restaurants, bars, and activities, always accessible, and generally went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Overall, a fantastic stay. I can't recommend Suzie highly enough!

Suzie was a great host! Her place was comfortable and spacious, just blocks from Carleton and downtown Northfield (convenient if you don't have a car). Suzie was friendly and accommodating, and her home is beautiful and quiet. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Northfield!

Suzie's apartment was super comfortable and very convenient, just minutes from Carleton College. She prepared the space well and left basic food and drink for us, which was above and beyond!

Just as advertised! Had a lively overmight stay. Left refreshed

Wonderful, inviting apartment. Great location, comfortable and peaceful. Suzie made sure that we were well supplied and made us very welcome! Plan on returning for our next visit to Northfield.

Great spot to visit downtown northfield and the colleges

We had a wonderful visit to Northfield in Suzie's basement apartment. Suzie was easy to get in touch with, and made the whole process very easy. She offered great recommendations on food, golf, and places to visit. All were spot on! She was very attentive to our needs, and the place was perfect for our week at the Ryder Cup. The beds were very comfortable, lots of good places to sit and relax, and we had plenty of space to relax and enjoy our visit. And the town of Northfield itself is a real gem. Every morning we'd go to town for Bagels or Burritos, and every evening we'd discover a new place to eat or enjoy a beer. A very charming slice of Americana. So glad we came!

The cottage was perfect for our trip to Northfield to see our daughter off to college at St. Olaf. Everything was in perfect order, cozy and comfortable. Communication was excellent and we loved the electronic door lock. Eileen and Marvin are great hosts and we will definitely come back.

Clean and cosy, Eileen and Marvin's place was a perfect place to stay while settling our son in to Carleton. The house was spotless, and the kitchen cabinet was stocked with tea and coffee. The kitchen has a stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave. The bed was firm, and the linens were clean and new, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. We walked downtown on second street, enjoying the sidewalk poetry on the way. Everything was easy to get to, and the Ole Store (restaurant) was right around the corner

The host canceled this reservation 49 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great quick stay in Northfield. The house was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bedroom is large and there are two windows in the bedroom that create a perfect breeze to keep the room from getting too hot. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Rebecca was out of town during our visit but she left great instructions and offered to be available via message if we needed anything. She is a gracious house.

Simple, comfortable and nicely situated digs almost directly on the gorgeous St. Olaf campus. We visited for a campus tour and just walked up the hill for our tour. Phenomenal. Nearby town of Northfield is lovely and provides quite a few excellent coffee shops and restaurants. Not a luxury accommodation, just a trim little home in a great spot and run by a lovely person. So happy we chose this place. Thanks Rebecca!

Becca was a great host. The house is a classic farmer’s house with wooden floors and a traditional layout. Becca invited me to join her dinner party that night which was a pleasant surprise and a very fun event. If I am back in Northfield, I will definitely check upon availability at No Step!

Highly recommend Rebecca it was the perfect place for visiting St. Olaf college or Carleton college. Great location, great house!

Rebecca is very accommodating and generous. The room is simple and quiet, the mattress was just right! A great location just two blocks from St Olaf and a moderate walk or short ride or drive to downtown Northfield and Carleton College.

Listing was very accurate.

The host made me feel at home

Benjamin was friendly and responsive. He offered us kitchen supplies, a clean room, and clean bathroom to use.

Ben was a great host. The room was fine, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean. The spacious country home is on a large rural lot surrounded by open space, horse pastures, and timberlands. I had no problem finding his home, which is a short drive to St Olaf/Northfield. Easy drive from the airport.

Very quiet and comfortable while still being within easy reach of St. Olaf.

Ben was extremely accommodating as I made a reservation at the last minute. The house is in a beautiful, quiet country setting. I have to echo the previous reviews about the king size bed being very comfortable. Ben is a gracious host and I will definitely try to stay here when I return to visit Northfield in the future.

Easy stay...slept really well...very quiet

Enjoyed it very much. Ben was a great host. Room was clean and cozy, bed was fantastic. It's just like being at your own house.

Very accommodating on short notice

Short stay--arrived late and left early next morning--but fortunately, had some time before leaving to chat with Ben--great host! Place is in the country, easy 10 minute drive from Northfield, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful home and very comfortable bed:)! Highly recommend !!!

Julie's place is cool, clean and restful. The bed is amazingly comfortable and the aesthetic is calm and beautiful. The lightning bugs on my own little lawn, being able to cook and eat in the lovely sunny dining area were all so much appreciated during my extended stay. I'll be back...I've already booked my next stay! Thanks for being my new Northfield friend!

Julie made us feel welcome from the moment we discussed making the reservation! She stayed in contact throughout our stay, without being in the least bit intrusive. Even before we arrived she asked if there was anything she could stock up on for our morning..juice, milk, etc. we loved the neighborhood, the proximity to Carleton college and downtown Northfield, and the lovely well-designed space.

Art to Zen is a beautiful, serene, artistic apartment, perfect for our visit to Northfield. The owner has thoughtfully provided everything to feel "at home" - from slippers, luxurious linens, to a welcome basket of snacks & beverages. We look forward to staying at "Art to Zen" during future visits!

Great quiet relaxing place. Way better then staying at any of the local hotels. Julie was great to deal with and made our stay even better during a hectic graduation weekend!!

We had one of the best AirBnB experiences ever at Julie's place. The space is great. Very personal, clean, uncluttered, and well decorated. Everything you can think of is available in the kitchen, etc. and Julie is on hand to help you if you need something. Julie is a kind and gracious host. She really knows what she's doing to make you feel welcome. Her place is very restful and quite. Groceries and restaurants very close. Everything about the space and location says "ease." The location is perfect for people visiting either college in Northfield. And the space is so much more inviting than a hotel or motel. I used the space for an invited distinguished visitor to one of the college campuses. It was terrific for that purpose. I highly recommend Julie's place to college departments for their guests as well as to families visiting students for graduation or parents weekend and for those who just want a getaway to a great small town in Minnesota.

This place was amazing. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay if you are in town for an event at either St Olaf or Carleton. Near to both schools.

Great

My boyfriend and I stayed at Erik's place to attend a wedding at Boe Chapel on campus. It is in a great location. You can walk to St. Olaf campus and to downtown Northfield, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The place is very charming and Erik keeps it neat. He provided some nice touches to the place, including a Keurig with complimentary K-cups, and a bed with the softest sheets I have ever felt! We loved our stay here!

My family and I had a lovely stay in Erik's home. It was comfortable, clean, and in a fantastic location for St Olaf freshman move in day! Before arriving I was unsure if there would be enough room for the four of us to sleep comfortably, but with two on the futon and two on the bed we had plenty of room. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that Erik had even provided us with some toiletries, breakfast options, and a variety of coffee and teas. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Everything was very much organised, clean and Erik was very helpful and generous..!!

Marja and family were very welcoming and responsive to any questions or needs that we had. The location was just minutes from downtown. We definitely recommend their home for visitors to Northfield.

This is a great location, walk to downtown or either college. Quiet neighborhood.

Clean, plenty of space for 4+, quick response. 1st Airbnb, couldn't have asked for a better stay.

This was the perfect family spot. Close to downtown but quiet and safe. They had tons of great kids toys and gear and the place was clean, warm and as advertised.

Wonderfully clean and roomy. Beautiful view of back yard.

Marja was a great host. We stayed here with our 1-year-old and they had kids toys and a high chair for us to use. Easy, separate access and driveway to basement apartment. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Marja's place when we came to drop off our son for his freshman year at Carleton. We were very comfortable here. Marja is a great host. She helped us during check in and check out. Home was very clean and well stocked. Home is very close to Carleton so that was an added advantage. We could not have asked for anything more.

Spacous apartment ovelooking a yard (complete with squrrel and bunny rabbit. Easy drve to downtown or -either college. Plenty of room to spread out. Marja and Sam are very gracious, although we saw the only upon checkin. If you want to cook the kitchen is well equipped. Do plan on bringing all your own consumibles (eg coffee) and bath toiletries. Also a small flashlght for bathroom is useful at nigh.

My sister and family stayed at Jane's beautiful home. My sister said...Lovely experience that couldn't have been better! The house was sparkling clean when we arrived. The experience of staying in the house is uplifting because of the beautiful art and tasteful decor. The owners were very responsive when I had a question, and they were a pleasure to work with. We had little kids, and the place was perfect for them as well. Definitely, a happy place. Thank you very much! The best place to stay in Northfield!

We just returned from our stay at Jane's Airbnb in Northfield, MN. She has a lovely home and it was perfect for our stay while our son got married at St. Olaf College. The screened in room was perfect in the evenings where we talked and watched fireflies. Her home was spacious as we got ready for the rehearsal dinner and also the wedding.

Great place, very warm and welcoming. Jane is very organized and responded to my inquiries. She is also very proactive in comminicating. We had a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend this place!

Lisa and Steve were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. It was a lovely cottage, comfy bed and very clean. Northfield is a cute and interesting college town. Not far from downtown.

My parents stay in the Olivia's house and they love it. We live in some airbnb before and they believe this one is the best one. The environment is great an the inner decoration is gorgeous.

The cottage is beautifully located, super clean and hosts were helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

The Chapel House is a perfect place to stay if you are visiting Northfield, especially if you visit includes Carleton College as the house is literally right across the street from Carleton's chapel and a 2 minute walk to the admissions office. The house was spotless and well appointed and just as described. the garden surrounding the house are at extra summertime pleasure. Steve was super at communicating and very accommodating, giving us advice on where to eat on a Sunday and letting us use their laundry and laundry detergent. A+!

We had a wonderful stay! If you're visiting Carleton you couldn't ask for a better location than right across the street from the Chapel! But even for others coming to Northfield, the charming shops and restaurants on Division street are a few minutes' walk away. It's a safe, quiet, charming neighborhood. The house itself is modest in size but comfy and happy feeling. Our college kids stayed with us sometimes, and brought friends over for a home cooked meal and there was plenty of room for small gatherings. Steve's family was so friendly and responsive and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Highly recommended, and only hope we can come back again and again!

We had a great stay

Great location if you are visiting Carleton, especially for the graduation. Literally on the bald spot! Very nice and neat house with all modern amenities. Seamless check in/out. Everything worked fine. We stayed at several hotels/b&b's around Northfield - you won't get anything better $, quality and location-wise for two bedrooms+ around there.

Chapel House was perfect for our reunion visit to St Olaf. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

Great host, great location, enjoyed our stay

Obviously, a great location for visiting Carleton (you couldn't get closer without being on campus), and it's an easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. We were able to make dinner for our son and his friends instead of always going to restaurants, which we all enjoyed. For the same price as my original hotel reservation, we had a lot more space, a beautiful view of Skinner Chapel, the convenience of a kitchen, and the comfort of staying in a house. Steve and Amy were helpful with restaurant recommendations and answered any questions we had. All around, a great choice.

Wonderful listing in a great neighborhood. Very, very close to Carleton so perfect for visiting friends on campus. Quick and responsive host. Would highly recommend!

Great little apartment in the heart of Northfield. Kate was an amazing host, and the space suited our needs completely.

The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

What a lovely (and convenient!) place to stay! We were there during a heat wave, so we much appreciated the central air conditioning... other highlights included walking to the food coop to buy food, and then making simple dishes in the well-appointed kitchen, to take to the various potlucks we were attending during graduation weekend... Kate's helper Casey met us at the front door with the key, and was available in case we needed anything. Everything was walking distance, and we had very attractive and comfortable accommodations -- a great example of what makes airbnb so awesome!

The apartment was great and just as described regarding the downtown location and accessibility. I was coming into town for work further south and did not want to battle the Minneapolis traffic daily. The people in Northfield were very accommodating and a joy to experience for the week. The apartment itself had a washer/dryer which came in handy with the heat wave going through that week, along with a full kitchen which always makes traveling better than staying in many of the hotels.

This looks to be a great apartment in a great location. Unfortunately, due to water damage, the host had to cancel our reservation. Kate went the extra mile try to find us another option -- a house that was for sale and had a bed in one of the rooms -- but we opted to stay in a hotel instead.

Renell's place was perfect for parents visiting college students! It's exactly as pictured, and very convenient. Charming!!! She is awesome to work with, too!

Renell's place was great, perfect for our needs. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of space. No surprises. Located a short drive from downtown and the colleges.

Renell was a good host. Answered all our questions and was very responsive to our emails and text messages. She met all our needs and the property was as described.

Renell was very responsive to flight changes. She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and fun. The house was clean and homey. It was very comfy and accommodating.

Renell contacted me two days ahead of my arrival and was accommodating about my roving arrival time. She greeted me with a brief, interesting and friendly conversation.

Renell's garden level apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was the perfect place for my family of four to stay during my daughter's graduation at Carleton. Renell was an excellent host. She's helpful, fun and easy to contact. We really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Renell's. Her apartment was very clean, spacious, well equipped and quiet. Renell was speedy to reply in all of communications & very easy to work with. We highly recommend Renell and her apartment.

Renell made me feel very welcome, and the neighborhood was very quiet with access to trails right out the back door.
