3 Romantic Airbnbs in Minnesota, Ideal for a Getaway Any Time of Year

With so many charming communities to visit and so much natural beauty surrounding us, it's no wonder people's thoughts turn so easily to romance in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. And when you're in love, there's nothing like escaping for a few days with your favorite person and enjoying some of the romantic spots that can be found here in the North Star State. If you're looking for a romantic vacation rental in Minnesota, I think any of these three would do quite nicely.

1. Winowannastay Inn - Sleepy Eye

The hosts of Winowannastay Inn take their hosting duties seriously and, to the extent you're interested in partaking, go out of their way to make a stay at their property an experience. The rooms are whimsically themed and decorated, and the backyard is a secret garden hideaway. I stayed in the "Greek Spa" room, and I found it to be quiet, comfortable, and private - perfect for a romantic getaway. The owner is an ebullient host who will greet you warmly and show you around if your arrival coincides with her schedule. She is also a wine and wine-making enthusiast who offers tastings, as well as wine classes. When I stayed, the hosts invited all of their guests - there are five guest rooms on property - to a communal bonfire. On the other hand, all participation is completely optional. If you prefer time alone with your favorite travel companion, you'll have no trouble finding it.

2. North Shore Condo at Chateau Leveaux - Tofte

You and your favorite someone will enjoy a crackling, wood-burning fireplace, along with sweeping views of Lake Superior and the rugged North Shore coastline at this cozy North Shore condo near Tofte. Its location on the Chateau Laveaux property means you'll also have access to amenities like an indoor pool and hot tub, as well as outdoor grills, seating areas, and a fire pit. Stroll the grounds or climb the stairs down to the shoreline and commune with the Big Lake - or just curl up inside and enjoy the views from there.

3. Cozy Cabin in Bluff Country - Plainview

This cozy Bluff Country cabin is less of a love nest and more of a love aerie. Perched above a steep valley in southeast Minnesota, you'll enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding bluffs and forests - as well as all the privacy and serenity you could hope for. This Airbnb sits on 120 forested acres bracketed by a pair of wildlife management areas. More than a mile of private trails are all yours to explore before you cozy up in your rustic retreat or around a bonfire to enjoy the blanket of stars in the night sky above you. If you care to leave the property, both Whitewater and Carley State Parks are only minutes away.

You're certain to find no shortage of romance if you cozy up with your favorite person at one of these three Airbnbs in Minnesota. What do you think are some of the most romantic places in Minnesota? We'd love to hear about them!
