Holiday rentals in Northfield

Little Farm Getaway

Welcome to my little 8 acre oasis! Being the first farm I’ve ever lived on, I understand the peace and tranquility it can offer those who have never experienced it. Enjoy meeting my horses and mini donkeys, take a walk through my woods, or have a fire! Aside from being just far enough, but just close enough to all the happenings in the city, my newly remodeled private entry, ground level basement apartment offers an escape from the noise and a place to unwind and relax. NO CHORES REQUIRED! 😊

Charming suite, great location

Hosts live on upper floors. Lower level, private suite (stair access) has been designed and decorated for you. It features a living room with gas fireplace, bedroom, and bathroom. Next to St.Olaf college, 1 mile to Carleton and downtown, steps from the Ole Store Cafe. Our house is surrounded by trees, perennial gardens, and adjoins the St. Olaf athletic fields. Unfortunately, this space is not suitable for young children. Also, the stairs may be difficult for someone with physical limitations.

The Snug in the Heart of Downtown Northfield

We know how great a getaway should be; a place that is full of character, with cozy spots that set the stage for great conversation, a reading nook for a great book, and the perfect comfy bed. The 800sf of Snug has it all. Fully updated and renovated while keeping the original limestone, brick, heart pine posts and 12 foot ceilings. Tucked away from the street so it's quiet, but near everything. You'll feel like you walked into a beautiful European apartment. Come and stay, you'll love it!

Raspberry Sorbet

Enjoy sweet dreams and your own raspberry sorbet at Raspberry Sorbet! Enter through your own personal entrance (not used by me), which masquerades as the front door. The entry, stairway, bedrooms, bathroom, and closets are all for the use of you and your party, and are NOT shared with me. Conveniently located just one block from the Carleton College Chapel, 2 blocks from the Weitz Center for Creativity, and 1.5 miles from St. Olaf College, with downtown Northfield in easy walking distance.

The Novella at Content Bookstore

With a well-equipped kitchen, family-friendly details, and an emphasis on quiet and ease, it's the perfect home base for adventures or retreat.

Hidden Northfield Cottage

A private, peaceful space 2 blocks from St. Olaf College and less than 1 mile from downtown and Carleton College.

We have a fully equipped kitchen, but the Ole Store, a Northfield favorite, is just down the block. Dogs are allowed when added on the reservation and pet fee has been paid for.
