The home was extremely clean and was presented according to the post. The host checked in after we arrived to make sure all was as expected. Great location; spent one morning watching a pair of eagles in a tree near the lake! . Definitely recommend

Beautiful cottage by the lake!
Nancy & Brad are excellent hosts! So responsive and helpful. The location of their beautiful cottage is great! You can see Lake Pepin from the kitchen window and the backyard; it's a quiet neighborhood with views of the eagles and geese. We walked the block or two to all of the shops, restaurants and bars. The cottage is decorated beautifully; is so welcoming and was fully stocked for our stay. All we brought was coffee and a few dry goods. The beds are comfortable and it was great to have 2 bathrooms as well. Thanks so much for offering up you beautiful cottage for a great girlfriend weekend!

Great location
Lake Pepin is just a block away. I can view it from the the patio. The house is cute and clean. I enjoy taking walks by the lake or just sitting on a bench watching the birds and boats go by. I always go to the stores in town and also head over to Red Wing also. Lake city is so relaxing. I come here yearly and stay at the same place.

Minnesota High School State Bass Fishing Championship
We booked the house for a participant and a boat captain, and the parents of the participant, for the Minnesota High School State Bass Tournament in Wabasha. This property worked perfect for our needs for this event. The house was the cleanest of any VRBO property I have ever stayed at. Nice quiet neighborhood with a short walk to Lake Pepin. Highly recommend this property to my friends and family!!

Nice location and accommodating owners.
Nancy and Brad are nice owners and they've spent a lot of time on the décor around the house. The only appliances we used were the microwave and the coffee maker (lucky we brought our own coffee) so I'm not sure how the stove/oven would've performed. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs for the nightly train whistle and noise from your family upstairs. We saw some eagles in the neighbor's backyard too. The location was close to the swimming beach and in walking distance to downtown.

Great location. I love the patio in the backyard where we can sit and see the lake, plus grill and have a campfire. Plus there is a nice sitting porch in the front of the house to sit on a rainy day. This house gets an A+ for comfort and cleanliness.

Great family getaway
We loved the cottage and will be back again. We loved how everything in town is in walking distance, and there are so many places to see angst things to do within 30 minutes. We were in town for a high School bass tournament. There is plenty of room for a boat and trailer, and external outlets on the garage to charge overnight.
