Family-friendly vacation rentals in Forest Lake

Eric is a great host. Super communicator. We appreciated having a place close to our house as we had to be gone from our house for a stage of remodeling. Would recommend.

We were so happy with our stay. The home is just as described and Jill was very friendly. I would love to book again if we’re in the area.

Great space for groups! Miranda responded quickly to me. I was very thankful she accommodated scent free for me.

I brought my small church youth group to MN and stayed at her place. Beautiful place, cozy like home, perfect place for bonding. Her details for decor and everything that we might need are just superb, amazed me. The kitchen is pretty equipped with spices, seasonings, all the stuff that we need for a short stay. My husband loveees the coffee table area, different set of coffee machine and options. The place is very spacious, just like the photos, plenty of spaces outside and inside to have a cozy afternoon with long tables. Her game boards and books along with the other amenities keeping my youth entertained and bonding with each other. Sarah will go above and beyond to help us and to ensure we rest comfortably and accomodate what we need. Her home feels like home with aesthetic touch and design from entrance to living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and basement all covered. Thanks Sarah, I truly appreciate your hospitality and your heart to serve others.

We now stay at this cozy cottage yearly for a family, mother/daughter trip. My husband and I are also interested in staying for our own romantic get away sometime. It is the perfect blend of city perks combined with a wooded, lake view natural environment. We also loved enjoying the huge hot tub outside right in the middle of winter. It was a joy all around that we can’t wait to enjoy again and keep recommending!

Beautiful place! Especially appreciated the Christian atmosphere. We loved walking at the regional park right behind the farm as well. Great coffee at Froth and cork and yummy food at The Confluence hotel, both in Hastings.

We arrived a bit early but had just a short wait. We met Jill and she gave us a quick tour and said please call if we had any questions. The weather was very cold so could not use the hot tub. The furnishings and decor were great and the cabin is very cozy and shows a lot of creativity. Had a nice meal at the restaurant across the street. We will be back. We highly recommend it. Thank you Jill and Pat.

We loved Kristian and Joe’s place! It was absolutely amazing and the cutest little tiny home, which when checking in Joe informed us it was a converted office/ tiny home. You would never know, because it’s just so comfy and gives a cabin vibe! There’s lots of gear they provided that my partner and I got to use, specifically the canoe at sunset! Absolutely breathtaking and 10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

Great location. Very pretty home, that worked well for our family to all be together during the holiday season.

My family had a lovely experience at Kyle and Lois's cabin. It was cozy and we cross country skied right from the door, but it was also a very short drive into town, which was really convenient. It was exactly what we were hoping for and we would highly recommend!

There was a lack of communication from the start, but once everyone was on the same page, we were fine! The beds were very comfortable and the place was spacious for the 4 of us.

Just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy. Wonderful decor, tasteful art, lots of kitchen dishes, utensils etc. beautiful back yard for if you have a dog which is so good that Josh permits

Can’t beat a beautiful cozy cabin right by the river! Nice to see the stars and hear the water when I stepped outside. Loved the large windows in the primary bedroom. Definitely recommend for a weekend outside the twin cities

James was an excellent host. Super responsive whenever I had a question. He even had Amazon deliver a new electric teakettle when I mentioned that it wasn't working. We had a lovely stay and the layout of the house was great for me and my kids and my parents, who had the more separate downstairs master suite. We will be back!

Our time at this sweet duplex was excellent! And, when I left a sweater behind, the host sent it to me at no charge! I will gladly stay at this location again.

Very responsive host. Comfortable and convenient home in a nice neighborhood. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. As someone who has lived in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, I love this location. 15-20 mins to pretty much anywhere you want to go and very close to Highland neighborhood in St. Paul, which means you are close to some shopping and restaurants. Mississippi Blvd has sidewalks within a block and a half of this home and it’s very close to Hidden Falls Park. Shower is awesome with great water pressure. Water does get scalding hot, so be aware of that. More of an awareness thing than complaint as there is nice hot water. Convenient closest with hangers, soaps in shower, etc. We would stay again.

Nanci's was a great place to stay when we were in town for Thanksgiving. It is cozy, well-appointed, and clean. The description of the stay was accurate, and we would definitely stay here again. The ceiling is low in places for taller people. However, my husband had no problem being mindful of that fact, and we enjoyed our stay. While the small apartment is at basement or garden level, the light from the egress window in the bedroom area kept us feeling as if we were in a basement. We also appreciated the good quality sheets and towels.

Thank you again for the wonderful stay at your cabin! It met all our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing weekend with friends! I appreciated your quick response to our questions.

I loved this place. Clean and comfortable with everything I needed. Great communication from the hosts. Definitely would love to stay again.

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

Amazing stay, felt so cozy and the beds were comfortable. My sisters and I really enjoyed staying at Deb’s place before our flight the next day. We got to meet Deb during our stay she was super friendly and informative. Will definitely be keeping this place in mind for next time.

Our family enjoyed our stay. It had enough space for us to hang out and eat meals together. It worked out great for our family needs.

This home was excellent/ Four beds; two in the main area (bunks) and two in the bredroom. There was a well stocked kitchen, clean bathroom, and clean linens. The space was easy to get into and had a number pad activated lock, and a secondary keyed lock on the door inside. THe area is very quaint with many great restaraunts within walking distance. Michael the host was quick to respond, helpful, and responsive. He was very friendly.

Very cute little cottage in a beautiful location. 2 deer came right up to the front window and stared at us. Very clean and the owners were very responsive to the couple questions we had. It had amenities we needed but the TV was confusing. We wanted to watch the morning news with our coffee but couldn’t seem to find local news channels.
