The Knudsons rent more than houses. On Sauk Lake there is a 2023 Sylvan Mirage pontoon with a 90hp motor, a lily pad and remote-control sea legs for the sandbars. In the Twin Cities there is a 2017 Victory Vegas cruiser with a 1600cc V-twin and saddlebags for the open road.

A note from your hosts

Knudson Rentals started with a simple idea: rent out my camper to cover what it cost to store. It worked better than I ever expected, and when we rented out our own home during the 2018 Super Bowl in Minneapolis so my kids and I could take a cruise together, I was hooked.

Today my children, Lexi and Bailey, run the business with me. Our vacation homes in Blaine and Sauk Centre come first, and we keep a pontoon on Sauk Lake and a motorcycle in Rosemount so you can get out and enjoy Minnesota. Meeting new people every day, with my family alongside me, is the best part of this work. We have earned over 200 positive reviews on Airbnb, and we are always looking for ways to make your stay even better.

Greetings

I am Chad Knudson, the proud owner and founder of Knudson Rentals. It all began with a simple idea: renting out my personal camper to offset storage costs. The venture proved to be a success beyond my expectations, which encouraged me to expand, leading to another camper and thoughts about further rental opportunities.

The turning point came during the 2018 Super Bowl in Minneapolis when, for the first time, we rented out our home so my kids and I could take a cruise. That experience ignited a passion, and since then I've ventured into renting multiple properties.

To build a family-oriented business, I've brought my children, Lexi and Bailey, on board. Vacation homes are our main focus, and we also rent campers, motorcycles, boats and food trucks. What excites me most is meeting new people every day while involving my family. We take great joy in your feedback and are committed to making every stay better.
