Great gathering space
Girls' trip for 4 women of a certain age... we were able to spread out and each had a separate sleeping space, although some spots required a bit of a walk down the outside stairs or a walk through another bedroom to reach a bathroom. It worked great for us, though. Beds and linens all top quality, many extra blankets and pillows available. The kitchen was amazing! Beautiful, functional, and well stocked with utensils and cooking items. My friend Ruth only suggests a garlic press be added to the supply! We spent all our time around the kitchen island or out front at the cute patio set, watching the eagles over the lake and endless people/dog watching. Walkable to the marina and park area and lots of shops, plus the long trail along the water is literally on the front step. Lots of fun things to do along the river road on both sides - but we ended up spending more time in the house chatting and eating, than touring wineries or shopping. Host left a tray of homemade cookies and a warm welcome note for our arrival. We had no issues during our stay but definitely felt like we could make a quick call and get immediate help from real people. Quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!

What a View!
My family stayed for a long weekend and it was perfect. The walkability to everything was a plus and the view out the front was incredible. We walked to the beach, park, restaurants, shops and the grocery store. We drove to Lark Toys and the Eagle Center one day and then to the Smiling Pelican and a lavender farm the next day along with a hike in Maiden Rock. The host was very easy to communicate with and the VRBO was nicely stocked with everything needed in the kitchen. I highly recommend this place.

Would give 10 stars if I could!
Everything about this Place is wonderful! The location couldn’t be better. The house is decorated so cute and on theme with the lake town. It was spotless when we arrived. Check in was seamless complete with cookies and a list of things to do locally waiting for us!! They even left us a bottle of their spice mix! Check out was just as seamless. Nicest people too. Will For sure be back!

Clean & Comfortable Home
This home was very clean, and had everything you could think of in the kitchen, 2 large bedrooms and 2 small bedrooms. Our group of 8 sat outside around the fire table each eventing. The view of Lake Pepin was very pleasant, lots of fireflies and a very nice walking path right out the front door! 5 stars for sure!!

Returned Wallet
The room was clean and charming - obviously recently redone with the bones being a bit 'Old Motel' like. They did a nice job and the view was great, location perfect for us (next to the trail along the river) and we accidentally left a wallet in the room, they called right away and alerted us before we left town...super helpful! Thank you!

Incredible Lake Pepin property
We had such a great experience at this beautiful home. Very nicely updated home, absolutely immaculate and lovely modern furnishings with incredible Lake Pepin views. Perfect location just steps from a public beach and blocks from shopping and restaurants. Mark and Lisa were gracious hosts who have so perfectly set up this home, it truly had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the view, and the firetable was a nice feature. The kids enjoyed having their own space in the room above the garage, and were very comfortable with the AC. We will definitely be back!

Amazing experience!
I can't say enough good about our stay at this lakeside cottage! First.. the owners, Mark and Lisa, are amazing! Very warm and welcoming, even with fresh cookies upon arrival, and gave us a yummy bottle of their own seasoning! They're easy going, and super accommodating!! The cottage is newly updated, very comfortable beds, and the biggest thing with me.. it's CLEAN! They also have it stocked with MANY essentials for cooking.. spices, baking staples, plus coffee, and even delicious hot chocolate!! Second.. the view is stunning! Just steps from the lake! This is a new favorite vaca spot for us.. can't wait to go back! 😍 Thanks again!
