  The cabin was beautiful. It allowed for a sense of remoteness while having access to a number of wonderful spots. I highly recommend a jaunt to the winery and the Harbor View Cafe is phenomenal. The stay was great even if the weather wasn't.

  Owner response: Congratulations to you both! You are the first (that we know about) to be engaged at the cabin! May you both live as long as you want and never want as long as you live!

  We loved our winter stay! The wine tasting at the incredible winery right across the street is a wonderful memory for us. We will stay here again!

  Posted with guest permission for stay on Dec 22-25: We'll definitely be booking again with you in the future. We did see several eagles and took some walks on the beach. I don't think any of the restaurants were open during our stay due to Sunday and the holidays, but we wanted to stay in and cook anyway. Your place was well stocked with everything we needed to make all of our meals and really enjoy ourselves. It was exactly what we were hoping for, and the drive up there along the river was lovely. More than anything, we appreciated being able to bring our dog. I think she enjoyed roaming the beach even more than we did.

  My friend and I traveled from Brooklyn to Minneapolis for New Years Eve, and decided last minute to book a cabin. I called Tim, the owner, and he was not only amenable to a next day stay, but was incredibly accomodating. The cabin is amazing! A lovely, natural burning fireplace, in combination with a very modern, and well-equipped kitchen, made for a stay in your pj's all day kind of trip. We wanted for nothing! The beds were comfortable, and the water was hot. That's a lot more than I can say for a lot of cabins that Ive rented in the past. Lovely views of the river and lake Pepin. I can honestly say nothing negative! Thanks Tim!

  Owner response: Winter is our favorite time to spend time at the cabin. Nothing like a fire in the fireplace to help relax along the quiet Mississippi Valley! There are more eagles and other wildlife to see and there is plenty of firewood.

  From day one, Tim (owner) was easy to communicate with, via email and phone. We received some great info on places to eat and local detail. After arriving at the cabin, no problems getting in, and the cabin is beautiful! Was so convenient to bring our dog along too, she enjoyed being with us all week. Easy to get situated - there were plenty of blankets, pillows, things for cooking in the kitchen, towels, etc. It was so helpful to have movies, games, and especially the kid 'hideaway' room with toys. The house was also clean and tidy, bathrooms looked impeccable. I realized there were a number of things I didn't need to pack! We had a great time in Pepin. Love the lake, atmosphere, new winery, nearby Stockholm, the "Pizza Farm" (google it, very worth going!), and it was nice to have a beautiful place to come back to at the end of the day. We ate the fair share of our meals at the cabin, and it was set up so well for it with the barstools and large dining room table. Dishwasher helped make clean-up easier too. There were some minor things that stuck out, keeping us from ranking a full five stars. It took us a couple of days to get use to the trains. They ran by about once every 1 1/2 hrs, and sometimes slightly shook the cabin. Our son loved hearing the train whistle though, and getting a nickel flattened by the train as a souvenir. Sleeping was a bit of a challenge - there were seven of us total, two being under 5 years old. Our son was only able to sleep in the loft when my adult brother arrived to sleep in the loft also - this just would have worked better for us if our kids were older. The master bedroom was nice, and our daughter slept fine in her pack and play. Bedsprings were squeeky though, would be opportunity for improvement. My parents slept in the 'den' area - understand that this is not a separate room, I did not realize that, so they were out in the open living area on a futon, and it was a bit 'creeky' also. The only other thing was having the only entrance be through the garage - would probably be beneficial if there was ever an emergency to have another exit route available. Our overall experience was great, just a few minor tweaks and it would have been perfect! I would recommend that you consider staying at Pepin's Eagle's Nest. Thanks Tim and Jane for the stay at your beautiful home.

  We love the pie in Stockholm. We love the little gold and iron shop down the street from you. Chatted with the women who work there and the husband/cop who was stopping in. Also met their kids. So many nice people around. I also like the Smith Bros shop down by the lake that sells all the garden stakes. I think I buy a couple every visit. I like glass and have done some glass fusing. Would like to get my own kiln some time, but I digress…. We did most our eating at the house. But generally were gone most the day. Really enjoyed the large deck. The weather was perfect, especially after it had been such a hot and humid summer. The house is lovely, just took a bit to get to know the place. I hope we followed all the instructions ok. Having a dishwasher is very nice. We did see eagles, lots of vultures and hawks too. One of our previous trips we found a little stream and parking lot off AA towards Maiden Rock, we like to let the dogs run there. They can wade and cool off when it is hot, so can we. We have been coming to the Lake Pepin area every summer for several years now but never really spent that much time in Pepin proper. We really enjoyed it and would like to come back."

  We really enjoyed our stay at the Eagles' Nest. I'd recommend this cabin for anyone who intends to spend time in Pepin. The house was super-clean, the great room was an awesome place to entertain, and there is a huge deck where we spent a fair amount of time relaxing. It was absolutely perfect for my husband and me, and it also had plenty of room for a few friends who dropped in for visits. I'm sure if we had kids, they would have loved the loft. We only had a week to spend in Pepin. Some things we enjoyed doing included: biking all around the area (the roads are endless and beautiful); sailing on Lake Pepin (daytime and sunset tours begin within walking distance down the street); visiting the Eagle Center in Wabasha (just 15 minutes away and I suspect would have even more eagle sightings in the winter); visiting the wineries in Pepin and Maiden Rock (there is a beautiful new winery right across the street); visiting the galleries and shops in Stockholm; driving up to Buena Vista Park in Alma to catch some spectacular views; and, of course, eagle watching. We didn't need to eat out too often due to the nice kitchen in the house, but we do recommend the Harbor View Cafe as well as the deli on Third Street whose name I cannot remember. The chef at the deli is a great character and a phenomenal cook. I've visited the Nelson Cheese Factory in the past and recommend that. And if you want REAL Wisconsin cheese curds, you must visit the Eau Galle Cheese Factory. If you want pub food, try Ralph and Mary's bar, too - an old favorite I missed out on this trip. Our regrets: We did not bring our boat, which would have been wonderful to have. We did not have time to rent kayaks, which you can do on Third Street. Overall, I'd recommend the Eagles' Nest highly for anyone who wants to do loads of fabulous things in a beautiful area and would like a nice quiet place to relax after a hard day of playing. We had one of our best vacations ever there and would certainly stay there again.

  Owner response: The deli is Two Old Guys and their pizza is awesome as well. We are lucky as there is another great pizza place in town, The Garden Pub & Grill which offers an open air seating along Hwy 35 and has recently added more deck space for live entertainment.

  We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed the perfect cabin decorating. Everything is very clean and well maintained. We loved sitting on the spacious deck at night and listening to the trains going by. There are so many things to do in the area but just be prepared as many places take only cash or check. Don't miss Pizza on the Farm outside of Stockholm for a great experience. We picked fantastic blueberries at Rush River Produce and tasted great wines at several wineries in the area. Stop at Nelson's Creamery for great picnic items and a good wine selection. The owners were very helpful in answering all our questions and providing information on the area.

  Just concluded our vacation at this home. Very clean,tidy, & beautiful home. Our only complaint would be the pictures shown on this site show a pretty good view of the lake.....this is no longer a "good" view. The trees have grown up & the view if very limited, so if a Lake View is a big thing for you, you would not be real happy with it. Other than that...VERY nice.

  Owner response: The trees have grown a bit. We will trim trees in the fall or spring. First complaint we have had with the view. Glad everything else was to your liking.
