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.

Clean and well stocked
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.

Cozy Cottage
Great place to stay! It was snowing upon our arrival, so we appreciated the puzzles and games stocked in the house. The kitchen has a nice view of the lake, and the location is just a block from the marina. We especially liked the cute lake house decor, warm blankets, nice TVs, and dimmable overhead light fixtures. Highly recommend!

Relaxing Getaway in Lake City
This was our second stay here and won’t be our last. With mild weather this winter we enjoyed the warmth of the cozy front porch. The house has all of the necessary amenities. Many windows and a large backyard provide for excellent views of Lake Pepin. It’s steps away from Heidi’s Huggamug Cafe who provides great coffee with breakfast and lunch. The location is within walking distance of the marina and downtown area businesses. We enjoy hiking and biking and it is situated between Wabasha (National Eagle Center) and Red Wing where there are many parks and trails in the area. So, enjoy the outdoors and relax indoors.

Relaxing in an old charm cottage
Picked this listing based on reviews and location. We were planning on skiing at Coffee Mills in Wabasha but Mother Nature had other things in store! No snow. We ended up walking at Frontenac state park which was amazing and we saw many Eagles on this trip. The reviews are spot on about this cottage. This cottage has a lot of space to relax. We especially enjoyed the sun hitting our face at sunset while sitting in front porch or relaxing in the chair by the electric fireplace which has a nice heater blowing on you. The kitchen has unobstructed views of Lake Pepin which was really nice while you’re eating breakfast. This is a cottage for all seasons! Don’t forget to get Papa Tronnios for pizza and walk literally steps to Heidi’s Huggamug for coffee and breakfast or lunch.

Wonderful home
We thoroughly enjoyed this clean and tidy home during our 4 day stay in Lake City. The house is very comfortable, inviting and stocked with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to downtown restaurants. The interior of the house and the exterior are obviously well taken care of.
