Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Forest Lake

nice and cozy

We loved the solitude and beautiful home on the lake. We were able to visit three state parks while in the area, and took advantage of the lake. The cabin was full of amenities and had everything we needed. We had a great time while we were there!

Absolutely loved our fall getaway at the cottage! Beautiful park and boardwalk paths to walk the dog around. We rented the pontoon and other toys to enjoy boat rides, fishing, and canoe trips to the island. And loved having fires by the lake at night, Was the perfect spot for a weekend away with the family before winter arrives!

OMG OMG!! GREAT PLACE, GREAT LOCATION. THE HOUSE WAS SOO CLEAN. WORDS CANT BE EXPLAINED HOW INCREDIBLE THIS HOUSE WAS … 10/10 BEAUTIFUL HOME!!!!

The house was so beautiful and once we walked in the door it felt like home. The property was just amazing and the neighborhood was so quiet. The backyard was an oasis! Each room was decorated beautifully. We booked the trip to celebrate my grandson’s Baptism and Tom and Rachel were so sweet and bought a beautiful gift. They also made delicious kombucha which we finished during our stay. I only wish we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was stocked well and all the bathrooms were so beautiful….Especially the master. Everything was so neat and clean. Any questions I had were answered very quickly. It was just a great stay! Thank you Tom and Rachel for allowing us in your beautiful home! We hope to come again soon as we have family in the area! Many blessings

Thank you Andrea for hosting my family and I for past week and half. I loved the details!

Brian's home perfectly and comfortably accommodated our group of nine adults. The large mud room was convenient for all of our winter gear and loading luggage. The kitchen was spacious and worked well for cooking meals together. There were plenty of drinking glasses and silverware for our large group (that isn't always the case) and we appreciated the multiple dining areas. We loved the game loft and hot tub. The bedrooms had quality linens and the bathrooms were stocked with lots of towels and toiletries. Finally, having a view of the Mississippi River was so nice and relaxing — it was so cool seeing eagles and swans! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.

The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. Many nice touches to meet all our needs, including some play things that our grandkids enjoyed!

My boyfriend and I stayed for one night after a Vikings game and it was great. Perfect location, clean, and comfortable for a short stay! We didn’t have any issues with our stay, very enjoyable.

Patricks place is great for a few people to stay in one place. it was easy to find in a really quiet neighborhood. Patrick was also flexible with check in and out and helping us get settled in

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Goodrich House! The home was incredibly cozy and inviting, offering plenty of entertainment options, including games, books, TVs, and even a record player stocked with classic rock albums from the 1970s—a nostalgic and unique touch that we loved. Although our visit to St. Paul coincided with some of the coldest days of the year (-17°F at night and highs ranging from -3°F to -7°F), the Goodrich House provided a warm and comfortable haven from the frigid temperatures. The location was perfect—convenient to a variety of restaurants and key spots around town. We also appreciated the well-appointed kitchen, which had everything we could possibly need, including a Keurig and a filtered water pitcher. Overall, the Goodrich House exceeded our expectations and made our trip to St. Paul memorable despite the weather. We highly recommend it and would gladly stay here again!

Great stray it was cool!

Claudia's place was perfect for us! Extremely quiet and cozy with a lot of extras thrown in for travelers' needs. The kitchen and bathroom was well stocked with basics for arrival and there was even a bowl of fresh fruit and a supply of ground coffee, juice and milk. Claudia is very thoughtful in regards to this space and generous with extra blankets and pillows. We had our grand baby stay with us and it is a safe and uncluttered space with the necessary infant pack n' play and baby gate along with some toys and baby seat with tray for feeding. We would come back to Claudia's in a heart beat. Thank you for your incredible hospitality, Claudia!

I highly recommend staying here. Roger was a friendly and helpful host with great communication. The home is in a wonderful and highly walkable area. On top of all of this, it is a meaningful stay because the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity, where Roger and his wife are consistent volunteers.

Great place, private, quiet and real close to Macalester campus. Quaint and cozy vibe. Responsive and helpful host.

Such a great spot to stay if you’re looking to be downtown. Cutely decorated and spacious! We had the best time for our friends weekend, and being able to walk everywhere was a huuuuuuge plus! Would book again!

Absolutely loved our stay for our family holiday! Kitchen was extremely well stocked with plentiful coffee, dish soap, snacks, drinks, garbage bags and dishes. Spacious main floor with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and multiple sitting areas. . Wonderful place to celebrate Christmas with our young kids — we brought baby gates to block the stairs going down and up. Would definitely stay here again!

Extremely comfortable home in quiet surroundings but close to airport and twin cities So many decks, porches, rooms and nooks to sit, relax and gather. Good communication with host Highly recommend this place.

Lovely place with great extras - hot tub, piano, pool table, theater - ideal for families

This was the perfect place for a bachelorette party. It is a really nice space and one of the most unique layouts I have seen. The rooms are spread out so there was a good amount of privacy. The living room and kitchen were great areas to gather in. Some of the group was worried about the location beforehand but it was great. There were no negative reviews about this, I checked a website that lists all crime/911 calls over the past 4 years and there were very few issues, and once there, everyone said it was a great location - so rest assured. There was plenty of street parking. Having a full refrigerator and a full freezer was great for such a big group/house. It was a great stay, I'd stay here again!
