Entire private home on acreage next to Afton Alps
The place was gregarious, I really recommend it the place it’s very peaceful and it’s private that’s why we love the place. Caroline was very kind and friendly!

Cozy 2 bedroom home close to airport.
Shoni is a great host and easy to communicate with! The home was perfect for our trip (visiting family) and very clean. Location is very close to airport and near the light rail and a bus that go to downtown. Recommend Rick’s coffee, Asa’s bagels and Crema cafe in the neighborhood! Neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and lovely to walk around. Would definitely stay again.

Minnesota Designer Stay: Ski Lover's Haven
Nice home in convenient location. Plenty of room for large groups. Very responsive host. Could easily prepare meals if desired. Nice decor.

Private modern home near Minnehaha Falls
We stayed for one night and really enjoyed it! It’s a cute little place with a cozy feel and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, which we appreciated. While it was a tiny bit dusty and not spotless, it wasn’t a big issue for us - overall it was a great and welcoming spot. Would definitely stay again!

Lodge retreat on 5 wooded acres with pond
This is one of the most beautiful Airbnb locations we have ever seen! Beautiful trees, large pond, big sky with gorgeous sunsets, 5-acre property. We saw copious wildlife -- all kinds of birds including ducks, egrets, humming birds, woodpeckers and large birds of prey; badgers, frogs, rabbits and deer. The lodge is a gorgeous renovation with lovely wooden interior and lots of windows. The kitchen is modern and in pristine condition. Truly winning experience for adults and families. (The house is not child-proofed and has staircases between levels, not ideal for small children.)

Rustic romantic
Fantastic place to stay with an amazing host. Our flight got delayed, so we arrived in the early hours of the morning tired. The place was easy to find, and access. Everything was laid out clearly and we were all able to get to bed in no time at all. The home was quiet and very peaceful. It is close to many stores and kitchen was well stocked for the four of us to do some light cooking. Had everything we need and was well worth the money.

Family Retreat w/Arcade &Game Rm|10 Min to MOA&MSP
Great place and location. Relaxing, clean, well decorated and comfortable. Would recommend to all my friends and family.

Modern, Cozy unit - Great Location
This was the second time staying at Jie's while visiting family. The bed is very comfortable and we got a great nights sleep. This is a side by side, but we never heard the neighbors. We will be staying at Jie's next time we are visiting the area.

Minnehaha Falls Retreat
Nancy and Rick's place is tremendous! Very comfortable, well appointed, great amenities and the location was awesome. The place is spacious and cozy; bed was extremely comfortable. We love Minneapolis and will return here again. We loved walking/biking around the area (so easy!) with many restaurants and parks to visit. We've been to many, many AirBnbs; this is one of the best. We didn't see Rick but had a great chat with Nancy.

MOA-Great Wolf Lodge-Airport-Shopping-Free Parking
We had a fantastic stay! The space was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as listed/pictured. Tons of seating. The beds were incredibly cozy. Russell has anticipated everything that a guest may need and was very responsive. Instructions were clear and access was easy. The building is very quiet (we never heard the neighbors, outdoor noise, or overhead airplanes). The proximity to the airport, target, coffee shop, and food was perfect. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

NEW BUILD Near DT w/ KING Bed+Full Kitchen+Laundry
The stay was lovely, cozy apartment with everything we needed. The location was safe, the neighborhood was great, and parking was easy to find. We’d definitely recommend this place to others!

Farm Apartment at Gotham Stables
The apartment is tastefully decorated. Comfortable furniture and a wonderful sleep number bed create a restful atmosphere. Karla was very welcoming, and the farm tour was an added bonus.

Royal Red Suite: King bed, garage space, Gym rm
We had a wonderful stay at Chris and KaReesha’s place. They were very thorough in their check in/check out instructions and the place was perfect for what my husband and I were looking for. We had an issue with the internet while here, and they were extremely responsive in getting the issue resolved in a timely manner. We would definitely book again if we’re ever in the area.

The Nininger Apt - Walk to DT & River, King Bed
A cozy place to stay for a quick business trip that could easily be used for longer term. Comfortable, clean, and accommodating.

100 - New, Modern & Comfortable 2 Bedroom Apt
This super tidy spot is in a new development. It is near the train track but you do not hear the train. You can walk around safely and have easy access to the cities and Northfield. Suellen and Luke were quick To answer questions. Because there are twin beds we could fit our family of four without having to use a couch or have the kids (college age) share a bed. Highly recommended this spot!

Charming Tangletown main flr unit - 1 blk to creek
My husband and I and our dogs enjoyed our stay at Brenda's place. It was clean, peaceful, easy to find, and we loved the wood floors and the colorful kitchen. The beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood is gorgeous. Brenda was proactive with instructions and very friendly. We would happily stay here again! :)

Apartment in Minneapolis/Near Downtown & Airport
It is as advertised, Studio Apartment, Pull out couch, right next to train that'll get you to downtown or Mall of America, and beautiful hiking for the Mississippi as well as Minnehaha falls was wonderful (12 min walk!)

Arcade + Rooftop | Game Room | Walkable Downtown S
This was hands down the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in! We visited as a family and had an amazing time. The location is perfect—just a short walk to downtown with stunning views of the town. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous—every detail was so thoughtfully designed and beautifully styled. It truly felt like a home away from home. The glam touches throughout make it an ideal spot for a girls' weekend or bachelorette party. I wasn’t even planning to get ready in the mornings, but the chic vanity area was too fun to resist! Megan (the host) was incredible—super responsive, helpful, and kind, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% recommend it. Can’t wait to come back!

Event-Ready: Birthdays, Getaways, Parties & More
Clean, as advertised Airbnb. Everything in the apartment worked. Every thing in the game room worked. Wonderful, clean thoughtful designed apartment. Beautiful patio and game room.

Lake-view in the city: Moa / stadium/ trails
My husband and I were in town to visit our son. Stephanie’s place provided a serene, peaceful atmosphere with a beautiful view of the lake. Her backyard patio and flower garden was a great space to relax and visit in.

15 min to MSP Airport!
I was very satisfied with my stay, I highly recommend! I had zero issues or problems the whole time, my stay couldn’t have gone more smoothly or perfect. John and Michael were very responsive and checked up on me to make sure all my needs were met during my stay. The apartment itself is the perfect little space to stay by yourself or with another few guests. It has everything you need- the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, the living room area was cute with a roku tv which i appreciated, and there were all the necessities stocked up. The on-site parking and the location close to everything in Saint Paul and the MSP Airport was great as well. Overall, this place had everything I could’ve asked for, I have no complaints. I stayed for a little over 2 weeks and it truly started to feel like home. I would highly recommend, John was a wonderful host and I would love to stay again in the future!

Balcony | Fireplace | Game Room Access | Steps to
This was a very cute place, I can definitely see it being a fun place for a large group! The trains could be a little noisy at night, but that can’t be helped. Earplugs are an easy solution for light sleepers. Otherwise, this was such a cute and unique standout from so many other airbnbs in this area.

Bright City Condo Near the Light Rail
We had an excellent stay at Lisa's beautiful home! It is on the ground floor but there are some stairs to reach it (back door has 6 steps down), which Lisa kindly let me know prior to booking. The location is extremely convenient and quiet, the neighborhood seemed very safe and private as well. Lisa's home was pristine with plenty of supplies for cooking and plenty of places to sit and relax. The bed was super comfortable, on the softer side but still supportive and there were black out curtains in every room which let us sleep very well. The bathroom was spotless with soft towels and Lisa had very thoughtfully left some small amenities such as toothbrushes and make up wipes etc which was an extra kind touch. The decor was awesome with lots of books and art and Lisa had left little notes everywhere explaining how her home worked and also giving interesting information! I would stay again and would highly recommend! Thank you so much again Lisa!!

Parkside Paradise View of Minnehaha
This was our second time booking with Lisa, however for a different unit. Again, it was a great stay. I enjoyed the coziness of this condo and quietness of the neighborhood despite being in the city. She has everything you need for cooking and baking. I work remotely and the internet speed was great. The bed was super comfortable. I appreciated the on-site laundry too. Everyone was friendly overall!
