Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cottage Grove

I would not hesitate to stay here again! Aaron and Colleen were fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to provide super clear instructions and labeling. They left really nice host treats in the apartment for us. Being there for a week, it was absolutely amazing to have a peloton bike, treadmill, and rower. They also had yoga mats and dumbbells. we felt a little spoiled with the hot tub and sauna as well! All the streaming apps were logged in and ready to go. You will not be lacking for coffee or tea options! They were always super responsive and flexible. Listen up, all of you morning shake or smoothie drinkers, they have a Vitamix blender! If you know, you know. We were able to do laundry, which was really helpful upon returning home. One less thing to do! They made checkout way easier than I’m used to at any Airbnb. I’d advise you bring your slippers because it is a basement apartment and the floors carry a chill! That said, there’s a nice gas fireplace to cozy up with!

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!

We had a great quick stay at Jill’s place for a Mall of America visit with our daughter. Great location, clean home, and hot tub was nice to have for chilly evenings/morning coffee.

We had a great time staying at Miranda’s home. Tons of space, really clean, and had everything we could ever need. I think this is the most well-stocked Airbnb I have stayed at. Miranda provided so many thoughtful items such as all of the essential kitchen supplies, games/movies, and bathroom items. The hot tub was amazing and there were even bath robes for everyone and extra towels. Would definitely recommend this place!

We were a family of 15 crowded around the dining room table for meals and into the living room for great conversation. There’s plenty of room to spread out. 2 1/2 bathrooms only minus for 15 but we made that work. We didn’t use the hot tub or sauna so I can’t comment on that. There were lots of little nice things like a jar of Oreos, nice soaps and good coffee. All much appreciated 😄

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.

This was a beautiful location for my husband and I to get away for a night. It felt welcoming and clean. Though we didn’t stay long enough to use the kitchen amenities much, it seemed to be stocked well for those wishing to cook during their stay.

Jill was truly the best host. She was so accommodating and made us feel as though we were her top priority. She was quick to respond and was proactive in making our stay feel as special as possible. We highly recommend her property (s) and would love to stay with her again if we are in the area.

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!

Had a great stay! Just as listed. Nice touch of complementary waters and chocolate bar. Was perfect for my needs.

Great place to stay with our dogs! Thanks for a great stay.

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.

Our stay was wonderful. It was as expected with plenty of extra pillows and blankets, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. The floors were creaky as listed, but we've always lived in old houses so it didn't bother us at all. For being such an old house, it was warm and cozy with no drafts. I would suggest opening a window when cooking so you don't set the fire alarm off, but it was good to know they were working! All instructions were laid out in a book on the table and easy to follow. Neighborhood is artsy and quiet with plenty to do within walking distance. Josh was very helpful and responsive, and gave us plenty of privacy. They even helped me find running trails since im unfamiliar with the area. We would love to come back!

Small, but comfortable home. Well appointed with lamps, end tables, and snugly blankets. With the snow, it was nice to park in the garage. Would love to rent again.

Emily’s place was safe, cozy and clean ! Perfect for a quick but peaceful stay!

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.

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!

Brooke was a fabulous hostess for us and a very prompt communicator before and during our stay. The house was clean, well maintained, and check in was easy upon arrival. The check out instructions were simple and easy to follow. I would say the house sleeps 8 adults very comfortably with 3 fun bedrooms, a loft, and a dayroom off the pool; we squeezed in 10 and it was sufficient. We had plenty of bathroom space for all the ladies, which was a plus! The hot tub and pool were wonderful amenities. The price felt a bit high but it was a fabulous, well-worth it choice for our bachelorette who loves all things vintage.

Eric’s place was great! The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, seasonings and even a few small groceries items! The hot tub was easily accessible through the back bedroom patio doors. It was the perfect end to our day! Location was awesome as well, just 5-10 minutes from downtown. Would stay again!

The place was beautiful. Exactly what we hoped for, for a family gathering. Lots of stuff to do whether it’s winter, summer, spring, or fall. Our host was very responsive and gave us lots of ideas and options. This was perfect for a large family gathering over Christmas. We had a blast. Ages 3-74 voted we would definitely come back!
