Wow, what a great cottage. It was so charming, one of a kind with beautiful views. Each room was an experience and we didn’t want to leave. The hot tub and deck were highlights. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely Mother's Day Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful time staying at this location! The property was clean, cozy, private, and comfortable. The hosts were easy to contact and quickly responded to questions. We enjoyed the beautiful views of Lake Pepin and the hot tub was a nice bonus. The hosts provided ear plugs and eye masks, which was appreciated, because the windows let in a lot of light, and sound travels easily between the open concept main level and upstairs. The basement bedroom had beautiful views as well, and there was a charming screened-in sitting room. The two lofted single beds would be great for adventurous school-aged children, but us adults were afraid of climbing the ladder haha. Fortunately, there were plenty of other beds available for us. We enjoyed our weekend and would stay here again!

Surreal location

Perfect spot for us, two couples and an English setter. Very clean, crazy cool view, and so incredibly private. Lots to see and do within 30 or so minutes. Great amenities. Really enjoyed the screened room downstairs, the architecture, and I’ll say it again - the view.
