Holiday rentals with lake access in Carver County

This place was perfect for a girls’ weekend. Super close to Water Street shopping and wonderful restaurants. The gathering area upstairs was large enough for us to spread out and chat or play games. Lots of laughter this weekend — a trip we won’t forget.

The perfect getaway on the lake. Close proximity to groceries, shopping, and restaurants. Beautiful backyard space and great dock. We kept a 26ft boat there for the week and highly recommend anyone staying here takes advantage of the lake access.

Great stay near the Twin Cities for a large group! Plenty of space, great outdoor area right on the lake. Would recommend for large summer gatherings!

We loved out stay at John's place in Cottagewood. Great location, beautiful home, well stocked . . . perfect for our family of five. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a lovely weekend here with our 90 year old grandmother and 6 children. This is a beautiful home with a stunning view, the sunrise was exceptional. We also discovered an amazing vineyard just 7min away. We had beautiful bonfires right by the water and had an incredible time together, we would love to come back if we are in the area again and if God allows. We highly recommend this place to anyone, it truly is a gem!! Thank you to Tracy for her kindness and help with everything!

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The one-bedroom space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The neighborhood felt very safe, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Communication with the host was smooth, and they were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure place to stay by the historic lake.

Kelli and Chad are the best hosts! Easy and prompt communication. No detail has been missed on this beautiful hideaway. We highly recommend this place and will definitely book again!

This place is perfect size, and curated really nice. Walking distance to a coffee shop with an incredible work space. Well thought out studio by the owner. Everything was great.

Beautiful place, as described, and the little touches (food, snacks, etc) were very nice to have. Would recommend to anyone!

Allison's place is magical! We stayed for a couple of months just after moving to Minneapolis, during our housing search. Her space is quaint and cozy, exactly like the pictures, and the building is true to its original character in its decor as well. Allison was a fabulous host -- she stocked the apartment well with fruit, coffee, and snacks for our arrival, and in general, we felt we always had what we needed during our stay -- a variety of cookware, cleaning supplies, additional linens, etc. We had no issues at all except for a minor plumbing one, and Allison had it resolved within a couple of hours. We loved the location - it is across the street from a beach, which seemed like a well-used, vibrant community spot. We spent time on the beach while it was swimming weather, and walked along the paths around it almost every day with our dogs. It was especially picturesque as the trees changed color and weather cooled. We loved our stay here and would gladly stay again!

The location was great. We like being by the lakes and had stayed in the Linden Hills area before. Kevin’s place is just a block from the Bde Maka Ska so there are lots of places to walk or ride your bike. There is on street parking right outside the front door. Kevin and Sue were exceptionally hospitable and went out of their way to make our stay more enjoyable. The apartment was immaculate, quiet and dark at night. The walk in shower was great. The kitchen was well equipped, although we did not use it, choosing to go out to some excellent nearby restaurants instead.

Jesse and Kris were fantastic hosts, and their AirBnb was lovely. Very much appreciated how clean it was and uncluttered. Great chi and feng shui :) The space was fabulous— high quality design and appointments. The photos can’t capture that. Very much appreciated such an updated space and kitchen with many appliances. Great light, and awesome, thriving plants! Bathroom is small but super clean with nice retro tiling. Beds, very comfortable. Jesse and Kris answered all questions quickly. There wasn’t a can opener, and they bought and delivered one within minutes. This was the best AirBnb I’ve stayed in. Didn’t meet Jesse and Kris but felt like we knew them from messaging.

This place is outstanding. My husband, my two kids, and I had a great stay. The owners are super responsive and friendly. The place was clean, organized, well stocked, and easy to access. The beds are comfy, the linens are fresh, and the fireplace is an excellent touch. The neighborhood has easy access to restaurants, downtown, lakes, parks, and museums. I’ve already recommended this place to multiple people. What a great week we had!!

Laura is such a thoughtful and gracious host! The carriage house is absolutely charming - bright, spacious, peaceful, and private. I felt extremely safe and comfortable throughout my stay. A perfect cozy winter weekend hideaway!

This cottage is very cute, well stocked, and clean. It has a great sunroom and fun game room. It overlooks the lake and is super close to the Luce Line walking/biking path. Worked great for our family for an Easter get-together. Nice fenced in yard for kids and dogs. Would rent again!

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!

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.

Our time at Rachel and Jacob’s cabin was as advertised…a comfortable cabin with clean rooms, all listed amenities and a quiet location for our time in MN. The frozen lake complete with fish houses and other winter activities was enjoyable to watch and we hope to return to participate in the summer offerings sometime in the future. J&J

Katie and Curt were wonderful hosts to our Minneapolis Spring Break adventure! We loved having a home base at such a convenient, beautiful, central location. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub and the nearby playground. We enjoyed the neighborhood and walking into Linden Hills for meals and shopping. Katie & Curt were responsive to questions that came up during our stay and were friendly and gracious hosts.

We were looking for a spot several family members could meet over the holidays. There were 6 adults and this house was perfect! Very relaxing, plenty of space and so cozy. We would highly recommend.

Loved loved loved everything about the stay! Felt right at home, kitchen filled with all the amenities to make food for a big family. Ample seating options in and outside of the cottage. Lots of fun water activities available in and in great condition. Our first time utilizing a Blackstone, it was so convenient for cooking in big quantities. Britt was an amazing host! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!!
