Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Goodhue County

We needed a place for our family to gather for our son's wedding and this worked great. The living room area was easily the best and most used place, very large. Bedrooms were all good size and comfortable. Bathrooms were nice! The layout is very unique, but nothing bad. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and enjoyed walking our less than one grandson around the nearby park.

Captain's Quarters is very beautifully decorated & lovingly cared for, the furnishings fit the 1900 theme to a tea. Every detail was looked after to make our stay an enjoyable one, from the soaking tub to the freshly-baked cookies, coffee & tea. We loved the basket of goodies waiting for us! We appreciated the communication with Denise & Lyle-they are kind, hospitable hosts. Denise had written check-in & out instructions, making it extremely easy to do both. She also checked on us through a text the next morning, to make sure everything was okay. The neighborhood was very quiet and the house was very convenient and walkable to things we found to do-walk to the library, restaurants, the grocery store, popcorn stand, food truck, and the historic home walking tour-it was also very easy to get out of town for scenic back-road driving. Lake City is an adorable town by the lake/river; it was fun to spend a few days there to unwind & enjoy Bluff Country and new scenery.

Place was secluded and nice space for larger group. Snowed while we were there and very responsive and coming to clear. We were staying with 5 adults and 4 kids skiing at Afton/Welch so the location was good. Didn’t spend anytime checking out the small towns or local sites, but appeared to be plenty of that. Also a nice sledding hill in backyard for kids.

This house was the perfect setting for our girls getaway. The views are breathtaking, it is just a half a mile to restaurants. 1 mile to downtown. The house was spotless and the fully stocked kitchen was amazing. The kitchen table was an amazing spot for us to all gather around and make memories. The huge window in the living room shows off an amazing view of the Mississippi River Valley. You will not regret staying here!

My family and I really loved staying in this home. It was very well kept up. Had lots of stuff there like games and other amenities would definitely rent here again and definitely highly recommend to anyone. We had an amazing stay and the host was very responsive if we had any questions

We loved our stay at The Maiden Rock Retreat. Deb and Dan’s place is so cool. It has everything you need for an excellent stay. The bar room is a great place to hang out.

Wow….what a beautiful place. Everyone commented how nice and ‘hygge’ everything felt. We were 3 adults with 4 teens and the place was just perfect. Definitely a perfect 10. We’re already planning a return visit.

This was our second time at Anchors Away. It’s a prime location if you’re a walker or just looking for a get away. We did a lot of golfing and there are several GC’s close by. Thanks Shirley!

Would highly recommend. Worked great for my 2 girls and myself. They loved seeing all the animals and petting them. Welch village is close to ski in the winter and canoe in the summer.

My friend and I had a Girl’s shopping weekend and this was a perfect central location. The place is adorable and comfortable. We felt at home and it was so nice to relax and just enjoy ourselves. We are already planning our next trip!!!

We enjoyed our stay - extremely walkable to downtown with restaurants and shops, convenient location across from a grocery store, quiet neighborhood, and comfortable place to spend a few days while in Red Wing! The historic charm of the house, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods was a highlight for us. This appears to be a 3 unit converted historic house, and while we could tell there were occupants on the top floor above, it was very quiet and private. We'd be happy to stay here again during a future visit!

My stay at Barbara’s loft was absolutely wonderful! Barbara is a fantastic host—thoughtful, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. The loft itself is beautifully designed, blending comfort, artistry, and smart details (like the night lights) that make it extra special. The kitchen was a joy to cook in—well-equipped with high-quality appliances—and the furniture was both stylish and comfortable. One of my favorite moments was relaxing on the porch in the afternoon sun; it was the perfect way to unwind. I stayed for nearly two weeks. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-curated space with a host who genuinely cares!
