40 Acre Wooded Retreat Overlooking Lake Pepin with Lakefront

"Lion Downe" cottage, the perfect get-away with all the extras (new large hot tub, free WIFI, satellite, firewood, etc.) , located in the heart of the Rush River Valley, along the scenic Mississippi corridor with brand new large hot tub and expanded deck with unparalleled views of Lake Pepin and the surrounding majestic bluffs.

Stunning log home, as featured in Log Home Living Magazine, is nestled in the bluffs, with breathtaking views of Lake Pepin from every room in the house, and from the large deck. The serenity and cozy feeling is accentuated from the surrounding 40 acres of private majestic hard wood forest. 660 foot of lake frontage, easily accessible from the lake (but not from cottage up in bluffs), with variable sandy beach depending on the season. Located 13 miles downriver of Red Wing, near the Wisconsin Villages of Maiden Rock, Stockholm and Pepin. Just 60 minutes from Minneapolis/St. Paul international airport.

Fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, bird watching and relaxation right out side your back door. Shopping, fine restaurants, and quaint small towns with antiques, arts, crafts, and frequent festivals all within a short, pleasant drive along the lake shore.

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.

Phenomenal!!!

We had an 8 party girls weekend and I must say this place was spectacular! Plenty of places to sleep, enough bathrooms to go around, kitchen and dining area were a hit for our large group. The view overlooking the river; speechless. Of course the hot tub was a huge hit. We are all very pleased with the property and the communication with the owners was beyond exceptional! Will definitely keep this place favorited in my listings!
