Vacation rentals with lake access in Twin Cities

Vicki’s place was absolutely lovely. We stayed for a family wedding and could not have asked for a nicer space of more helpful host. We were 3 couples and had all we needed and more. Vicki accommodated us in several ways, from early check in to quick response to a few questions we had. We’d stay again!

The apartment was bright and spacious. The location was great and we enjoyed walking around the lake and to restaurants.

This was a fantastic place to stay. It is right on the river and is in a very quiet neighborhood. There is a wonderful dock with the place and there is a marina with boat ramp and rentals about 500 feet away. We fished off of the dock all week and caught Drum, Walleye, and Perch. Hudson WI is 5 minutes away and Stillwater MN is about 15 minutes away. Both towns are full of good restaurants and shops.

Love that this home was built in 1916 but had so many modern touches .. wasn’t aware that the train tracks were so close but actually brought me Bach to my childhood .. would definitely stay here again & recommend this home .. home away from home ♥️thank you

The house was great! The yard and lake amazing!!! It has plenty of room for our large family getaway. We hired Chef Cameron and that was great too!!!

My husband and I felt like we scored a fabulous rental! It has the best of what we love: Large comfortable home/space, natural surroundings (especially near bodies of water!) but still close to shops, restaurants, and so on, plus good communication with the host. We would definitely stay here again and we recommend Sabrina's place to others.

Such a lovely place to stay while working in office for the week. Loved the communication and the location was perfection. Really amazing hosts! 10 outta 10! Highly recommend!

My friends and I had a lovely stay at Stacy’s place for Memorial Day Weekend. It’s tucked away in a private and quiet residential area, and the house is huge. We enjoyed hanging out on the patio under the sun umbrella and having s’mores over the bonfire at night. You’re also just a short drive to some of the best spots on Lake Minnetonka, and the driveway can accommodate multiple cars. The house is also well stocked with cooking supplies and spices, and there’s an outdoor grill! Stacy is incredibly responsive and sweet. We will definitely book again if we’re in the area.

We needed a place to sleep after spending the day with family and Lucie’s place provided. It was quite clean and nice view.

The peaceful and beautiful location of this apartment, walkable to Harriet Lake, can’t be overstated. The unit itself is on the top floor of a charming older building, in a well-kept neighborhood graced with towering trees. The unit itself had everything I and my two adult children needed — very comfortable rooms and beds for all, a well-stocked kitchen, a bathroom where everything worked as it should (plenty of hot water), and of course, that gorgeous outdoor deck right off the living room, where we spent so much of our time. We plugged in the lights at night and it was magical. The location meant we were close enough to walk down to Harriet Lake and then run the 3-mile loop around, finishing the run off with a beer or a delicious ice cream at the Bread and Pickle, near the outdoor amphitheater where, if the stars align, you can find someone on stage singing about love, grief, and redemption. So many great restaurants all around. Khâluna was fantastic — don’t think, just go!

Location was convenient and in a cute neighborhood. The upstairs neighbors are quiet, but you can hear every footstep, since it's an older home with creaky and uneven floors. The second bedroom is quite small. But the home was clean and adequate for what we needed for a comfortable weekend stay.

This is a safe place to stay. The streets are dead-end backing up to a lake. No traffic, it's best thing about this place. It's a typical older 4 apartment building. There are two tenants and two rentals. Tenants kept to themselves. The place is not high end but clean and gets the job done especially for the price. I would consider renting again. Remember, Minnesota is a Marijuana state, and you smell it everywhere.

Great apartment. Terrific location. Steps from the lake. Easy parking. Wonderful deck for sitting out. Kevin has some nice touches like reusable grocery bags. He has a binder with information about the area and the apartment. Very useful. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's a great location on Lake Street, close to top restaurants such as 6Smith and a short walk to shops and the beautiful Wayzata Bay. The unit is spacious and just as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and plan to return.

Jodi's place was the perfect house for our team to stay. We were in town for a conference at the convention center and house was about a 10 minute drive from the center, and we saved hundreds of dollars over is staying at a hotel in town. I would look to stay here again if I return to the Twin Cities.

Lovely hosts, and fantastic location!

What a charming, cozy and spotless cottage in a very private setting! The description was on point! Very quiet, wonderful neighbors and accessible to parks, restaurants, shopping, etc. Communication with the host was excellent with any concerns! She was lovely to chat with. I would definitely book again! Susan C.

My pup and I felt right at home. comfortable beds and a beautiful view of the lake...what more could a weary traveler ask for? really awesome place. highly recommend...

Great space for an extended family stay. Enjoyed the great patio spaces, beautiful lake with kayak, well appointed kitchen, and large dining table and living room. Main floor was very accessible for family with a walker and they were able to navigate the few steps to the main patio too, but would be nice to have the main bathroom shower upgraded some day to be a more accessible walk in shower (there is a walk in shower upstairs). Host/brother very responsive to a few questions that came up.

A gorgeous place with beautiful lake access. We spent 6 weeks here while waiting to close on our new home & we enjoyed it so much. Thank you!!

Wonderful place to stay and great location. Easy walking distance to the local downtown and the lake.

The hosts, Katie and Curt, were very friendly and responsive. The hot tub on the patio was a big bonus. I also enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and watching the trolley go by through the woods ($3 to take the short historic ride). And just a few minutes to walk to Lake Harriet pavilion to take in some live music or walk around the lake. I’m excited to come back sometime for this relaxing get-away!

Connie's place was exactly what we were looking for: clean, quiet, attractive and conveniently located. My family and I enjoyed the view of the lake and walking the nearby trails. My grandson got a lot of use out of the games and toys. We were able to cook our meals in the fully stocked kitchen. We appreciated the ease of check-in and Connie's responsiveness. Highly recommend!

We loved staying in the St. Francis Cottage! It was so peaceful - we enjoyed both the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. We jad everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The grounds are great for walking and enjoying nature and it was a very short drive to scenic overlooks and downtown Stillwater. It was a perfect getaway!
