Perfect respite

This is 4th time I’ve met my Winona friends here for the weekend. The Great River Cottage has everything we need. We sit for hours on the sectional sofa catching up. The beds are clean & comfortable! The kitchen has everything we need.

Excessive Fees

It’s a place to sleep. We had an extra person stay last minute and were charged an excessive fee for using an extra set of sheets. Total fees more than doubled the advertised price

Adorable cottage!

Our stay was perfect at the Great River Cottage! My bridesmaids and I stayed there the night before my wedding in Pepin and it was in a perfect location. We were able to explore Pepin a little just by walking around the cottage. The house was very clean and check in and check out was very easy! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Pepin!

Bachelorette Party

We celebrated my bachelorette party here and it was perfect. The house accommodated us and we had a blast. The house is on the main road and is close to bars and coffee shops. I would happily stay here again in the future for a girls weekend. Heidi was quick to respond and answered all our questions. She was a fabulous host!

Perfect one night stay

I chose this place for me and my bridesmaids to stay the night before my wedding. It was a perfect place for us to get a good night's rest. We loved walking down to the water in the morning with our coffee and how easy check in was. We left early the next morning and it was flawless. Thanks so much!

Nicely remodeled first floor!

Great location! Can see the lake from the porch. The 1st floor was nicely remodeled and very clean. Since there is only one bathroom, a few more mirrors throughout the space would be helpful. We were a group of 6 ladies over 60. The steep stairs up to the other bedrooms was a bit of a challenge for the elders in out group. A railing would be very helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Overall a Quick Nice Stay

The house was clean and just as described. The location is right off the main road so it’s easy to find. It’s just a short walk to the lake. Check in was easy but communication about it wasn’t until the morning of which felt last minute. I really wish they’d allow guests to adjust the thermostat. It was too warm for a good nights rest. Other than those small things, it was great for a short stay.
