Owner and founder
Rosemount, Minnesota
Chad started Knudson Rentals by renting out his own camper, and has grown it into a family business of vacation homes, a pontoon and a motorcycle.
Knudson Rentals is Chad Knudson's family business, run with his kids Lexi and Bailey. Every home sleeps ten or more across five bedrooms and has a private hot tub. Jenkins Retreat and Marmon Retreat sit in Blaine, minutes from the National Sports Center and TPC Twin Cities, each with a 150-inch theater for after the game. Sauk Lake Retreat is a lakefront cabin in Sauk Centre with a dock, a fire pit and a pontoon you can rent.
Five bedrooms and a hot tub at every one.

Blaine & Sauk Centre · Minnesota
Three five-bedroom homes for teams, families and friends: two in Blaine with hot tubs and 150-inch theaters, one on Sauk Lake with a dock and a fire pit.
Knudson Rentals
From family vacations to group getaways, make the most of Minnesota with comfortable vacation homes, pontoon boat rentals, and a motorcycle for exploring the open road.
Pick the one that fits the trip: the tournament, the lake weekend or the family reunion.
Both Blaine homes have a theater room big enough for the whole team.

Blaine is a northern suburb of Minneapolis, home to the National Sports Center and TPC Twin Cities. Sauk Centre sits on Sauk Lake, northwest of the Twin Cities along I-94.
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.
