The Cottage, at Journey Inn, an eco-retreat, is a cozy vacation home nestled in a beautiful secluded valley (coulee), just 3 miles from Lake Pepin (the Mississippi River). The Cottage is for guests who are looking for a quiet get-away or retreat in a natural setting. Just 1 hour from St. Paul, MN, The Cottage is accessible, yet provides a sense of restful seclusion.
It has a fully equipped kitchen (with complimentary teas & coffee), casual dining area, living room with wood stove, two bathrooms (one with shower, one with a spa tub) and a covered porch. The living room, dining room and kitchen are a bright, open floor plan and fully tiled. The two bedrooms have wooden floors and large windows. One bedroom has a queen bed, the other a double. Additionally, the living room has a couch that folds into a double bed, as well as several other chairs and a small library. All rooms have great views of the surrounding hills and woods. All linens are provided.
The 66 acre property affords visitors opportunities for biking highways and back roads (and nearby rails-to-trails bike trails), hiking our trails through prairies, woodlands and hills, as well as birding and star-gazing the wide-open evening skies.
Nearby are art galleries, restaurants, shops and many opportunities for driving scenic roads along the Mississippi or back into the hills of The Driftless Region of Western Wisconsin. Seasonal art tours, The Stockholm Art Fair and other activities abound through The Mississippi Valley region along and near Lake Pepin.
Massage and energy therapy sessions are available on site, and brunch/breakfast buffet may be prepared for guests (inquire if interested).

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Maiden Rock
We moved from Minneapolis and bought The Cottage and surrounding acreage to build Journey Inn, an eco-retreat, a "green" bed and breakfast. The Cottage was on the property, and we lived there while building the B & B. We now live in the B&B and are renting the Cottage to people who want a quiet, private get-away experience.
