Want to Rent a Private Island? Here Are 7 Options in Northern Minnesota
Earlier this year, I shared a couple options of entire islands you could buy on a couple Northern Minnesota lakes. Pleasant as that may sound, you might not have half a million dollars (or more) to toss at an island getaway. If buying an island retreat might be out of your budget, how about the next best thing - renting an island?

Cruising around the internet, I found a series of options on AirBNB, VRBO, and various other places online that range in price from super affordable to options on the fancier, more expensive side. Here are 7 island rental options across Northern Minnesota, ranked from most to least expensive.
