As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

When looking for unique places to stay in Minnesota, the sky is the limit. From treehouses and waterfront cabins to futuristic geodomes and castles in the woods, it’s easy to make your wildest travel dreams a reality! Our latest obsession and the most unexpected rental to add to your Minnesota vacation bucket list? Lighthouses. Minnesota may lack an ocean-front coastline, but it certainly has plenty of lakefront to enjoy – and with it, a handful of historic lighthouses that offer views for days. Of course, these magnificent structures are typically only open for tours – not weekend getaways. Thankfully, one fantastically creative couple in Burtrum, Minnesota, thought our landlocked mid-state needed a lighthouse too – and an overnight stay in this beautiful home might just make you forget all about the beach.
