Family-friendly holiday rentals in Excelsior

Colleen & Aaron made us feel so welcome and cozy! Their Lowry Garden Apartment was the loveliest weekend experience, and we’re definitely planning to return. Just a few blocks from the Minneapolis Walker Art Center, this hidden gem with its side entrance gave us the privacy we needed, but the inside held so many wonderful surprises, with its gas fireplace, vinyl albums and turntable, A+ coffee bar, full modern kitchen, and their superb attention to design and detail. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and peaceful, with the added perks of an outdoor hot tub, sauna, and magical greenhouse lounge with colorful hanging lanterns on the upper deck. Can’t beat that! Super hosts who care for your wellbeing all the way around. Thanks, Colleen & Aaron!

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!

Lovely space, comfortable and clean with great amenities. Comfortable beds, great shower and plenty of towels. We had a wonderful time with family enjoying the backyard patio, hot tub, and pool table.

A perfect place for us to spend time with family in a convenient location that felt like home. We used the hot tub and pool table for fun activities. The neighborhood was walkable with a bike/walking path nearby. I especially appreciated the pet friendly atmosphere and beautiful sunroom and fenced in backyard. We had everything we needed and were close to our wedding venue, community center and the airport!

Your place was a perfect fit for our weekend plans! We could stay and relax, but also did activities in the Cities due to close proximity. Perfect fit and place to allow our fur baby to come along! THANK YOU!

My friends & I had an amazing weekend stay! 10/10, would definitely recommend & will hopefully be back in the future!

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.

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.

There were four couples, and we each had our own bath and bedroom. It was so great to be able to get together in the morning and have coffee and look at the beautiful view. In the evening we sat around in the living room and chatted. It couldn’t have been more perfect for us. And the beds were very comfortable!

Richard is an excellent host. Very helpful and considerate. I had a meeting that needed me to stay on for 30 min beyond checkout time and he graciously provided me that at no cost! In my hurry I left some items and he immediately notified me and I was able to collect them back easily. The place itself is absolutely gorgeous and super comfortable

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

Great stay for our guest at Macalester! Close, clean and cozy! Will stay again! Thank you for your hospitality!

Another great stay in Falcon Heights! We loved the fenced in back yard for the dogs.

This was my third stay here as I have family in town and love having my own space while visiting. This now feels like coming 'home' in a way as the artwork, solarium facing the river feels like an escape whilst being so accessible to everything. I love the neighborhood, the small businesses near by, the vibe of the house and history of the house in general and kindness of the owners keeps me coming back. I will plan another trip here later this year again. Thanks!

Josh was a step ahead of our every desire. The recs in the guestbook were spot on, the linen closet was overflowing with comfy blankets, pillows, towels, and anything you didn’t realize you forgot to bring. The bed was big and comfy, the kitchen well stocked, the neighborhood quiet, the bathroom: OMG The bathroom was gorgeous. Plenty of super hot water in the beautifully tiled room with a floor to ceiling mirror. The handmade sink basin had me brushing my teeth extra long while gazing into the glazes. Josh was in touch the whole stay to be sure we wanted for nothing. I’m coming back in a couple weeks 😅

My second stay - great place, ideal location. Very quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Emily is responsive and helpful. Would stay again, 10/10 highly recommended.

Dawn was very kind a responsive. The place was beautiful and there was plenty of space! There was some difficulty managing the keypad when leaving the house, however it was a minor issues and Dawn was very responsive to fixing it! 5/5😁

This was our 4th stay at Mel and John’s place. One our favorite Airbnbs. Very friendly hosts who are super responsive. Apartment has a fully stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare meals. Lovely neighborhood with great access to a large park with lots of great trails and access to other parks. Easy access for the Minnesota state fair

Deb was a fantastic host! She made us feel welcome during a tornado watch, and even gave us some rice when one of our cell phones acquired some water damage. The place was a great deal for the price, even better location. She allowed us to extend our stay with short notice, and she was very friendly. Would book again!

I communicated with 3 people (Paige in the beginning and Lianna & Karyn after I got there), all were very friendly and answered my questions. The place was in a great location and since I wasn't able to stay with my son this weekend, I was about a block from his apartment, so it was an easy walking distance to his apartment. The Summit Hill Neighborhood (where Quaint & Quiet on Grand Hill is located) is a great place in St. Paul. I will definitely stay there again if I need to in the future. Thanks again.

The place was great. Stayed for the better part of a week. I like to do my own cooking and the kitchen was outstanding. Plenty of eclectic cookware, I was able to prepare everything from Eggs Benedict to Baked Crab Cakes and more. Michael was super responsive. Always got back to me within minutes and always found a solution to whatever I needed. Outstanding host!

Really enjoyed my stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. Nice and peaceful stay, even saw a deer out in the yard!

The place was perfect for what we needed. The kids loved the space and were so excited being there. Instructions were easy to follow and checking in and out was easy. Good location and host was very friendly!

great place decorated well and the beds were very comfy nit the best place for toddlers but was not an issue just has slippery floors.
