Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
John grew up in Rochester, just 35 miles west of Lake City, and vacationed here as a young boy with his family back in the 50s. His fond memories are etched forever with all the fun and beautiful times he experienced in Lake City and on Lake Pepin. He's grateful to have the opportunity to experience it all over again as he and his wife, Sharon, have purchased Lake City properties and remodedeled and decorated them in their vision of what constitutes the perfect vacation rental.
Sharon grew up in Cleveland, OH, and she too has fond memories of being near the water (Lake Erie) as a child and then spent her middle years and early adult life in Florida enjoying Florida's two coasts. After she moved to Minnesota in the mid 70s and was introduced to Lake City/Lake Pepin, she knew immediately that this was one of the Earth's special places.
Why the Owner Chose Lake City
Minnesota is known for all its beautiful lakes, but a lot of people don't know much about Lake Pepin and how beautiful this area really is. Lake Pepin is the largest lake along the Mississippi River (there are over 100) and offers unparalleled recreational opportunities. Because of its size (22 miles long and nearly 3 miles wide) and steady winds, the Lake is considered to be one of the best sailing lakes in North America. Lake City, over the years, has developed the best and largest marina (625 slips) on the Mississippi River. Lake Pepin is home to more than 65 varieties of fish. The area offers a broad and varied choice of eateries. There are innumerable things to do, places to visit and attractions to take-in, within a 30 minute radius. It's proximity to the Twin Cities and Rochester is unique as they provide a steady stream of visitors. The area also enjoys many visitors from our neighboring states, as well as, from all over the U.S.
Many people refer to the area as MINNESOTA'S SOUTH SHORE.
The Unique Benefits of this Twin Town Home
The unique features of this home is its size and flexibility. It is very comfortable and cozy for just two (2) or can comfortably accommodate nine (9). The panoramic view of Lake Pepin and the majestic sight of Maiden Rock across the Lake in Wisconsin is quite remarkable. The deck is large and overlooks the Lake and the Park and all their activities; the barges, the paddleboat, the sailboats, the cruisers, the runabouts, the fishing boats, the RiverLake walkers, the classic cars, the mototcycles and all the nice people of Lake City.
The nice thing about Lake City is that everything is quite close and even the locals love to walk.
