Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carver County

Colleen & Aaron's apt was perfect for my stay. My work associate and I were only minutes from our training site, and the apt was exceptionally nice. Beautiful neighborhood, great beds, comfortable furnishings...everything was top notch. We didn't get a chance to use the sauna or hot tub, we sat out on back deck and had a couple drinks, but, they looked very nice! Great feature. Didn't meet Colleen but met Aaron and he was a real nice fellow. Great stay! Would recommend to anyone staying in Minneapolis. THX A/C for letting us stay!

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 had a great quick stay at Jill’s place for a Mall of America visit with our daughter. Great location, clean home, and hot tub was nice to have for chilly evenings/morning coffee.

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.

We loved Kristian and Joe’s place! It was absolutely amazing and the cutest little tiny home, which when checking in Joe informed us it was a converted office/ tiny home. You would never know, because it’s just so comfy and gives a cabin vibe! There’s lots of gear they provided that my partner and I got to use, specifically the canoe at sunset! Absolutely breathtaking and 10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

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,

Had a great stay! Just as listed. Nice touch of complementary waters and chocolate bar. Was perfect for my needs.

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.

Our stay was wonderful. It was as expected with plenty of extra pillows and blankets, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. The floors were creaky as listed, but we've always lived in old houses so it didn't bother us at all. For being such an old house, it was warm and cozy with no drafts. I would suggest opening a window when cooking so you don't set the fire alarm off, but it was good to know they were working! All instructions were laid out in a book on the table and easy to follow. Neighborhood is artsy and quiet with plenty to do within walking distance. Josh was very helpful and responsive, and gave us plenty of privacy. They even helped me find running trails since im unfamiliar with the area. We would love to come back!

This was such a unique place to stay, and so clean & comfy!! Susannah was a wonderful host, and went above and beyond to provide amenities like stocked coffee/ tea, toiletries, and amazing books and games. Just a note that if you're over 6'0" it's a bit tight to get through some of the arched doorways and down to the basement for laundry. Definitely would stay here again!

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 such a wonderful experience! Jason and Samantha’s place was immaculate, as well as so cozy and comfortable with a fun and unique vibe. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived! Love the neighborhood, lots of great restaurants and fun things to walk to and they went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible time. 100/10 would recommend.

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

George’s place is our home away from home. We have stayed there multiple times and will continue to stay there.

I loved Colins place, i felt right at home. It was soo beautiful and cozy. He was very accommodating & helpful. I will definitely be booking again when im in the area.
