About this property

Charming Cottage in Stockholm, WI Nations Best: Pies, Scenic Drive, Small Town!

Banner Cottage is located in the popular laid back tiny village of Stockholm, WI and is a 5 minute walk across the park to Lake Pepin's shore.

Enjoy the incredible scenery of the Driftless Area where winding roads take you through the bluff country along the banks of the Mississippi River.

Villages along the river offer shops to browse, delicious food to sample, and award winning local wines. Plan a wedding, listen to music, go biking, hiking, skiing, fishing, sailing, golfing or exploring, or just sit back and unwind.

Which ever you choose, Banner Cottage welcomes you and your friends and family. We hope that you enjoy your stay.

The space: Built in 1906 as the Country Doctor's home, Banner Cottage retains it's charm yet it's updated, welcoming, and comfortable.

Main Level: Enjoy a well equipped kitchen, an open living room and a dinning room with seating for 8. A shady covered side porch and a large deck under the trees makes a great gathering place to relax, enjoy the breeze off the lake, and to watch the sun go down.

With one bedroom and full bath down, and three bedrooms and a full bath up, the house comfortably sleeps 8.

Location:

We are located a short walk from all of Stockholm's amenities, from the beach to the bar, and to the shops and places to eat.

Golden Girls Weekend
Recently returned from our yearly girls trip. This year we chose the Charming Cottage in Stockholm, Wi. The drive there does not disappoint: hilly and winding road, amid trees, cliffs and beautiful Lake Pepin. The cottage is easy to find, right on main road through Stockholm; very near the many cute shops and eating establishments. The cottage itself is charming, well equipped to host several. We did find areas needing attention; some immediate, some FYI: Pantry light crackles and sizzles when you try to turn it on. Light in refrigerator needs to be replaced. Main floor bathroom bath tub drain is extremely slow. Main floor bathroom floor was very dirty. A shirt and mini sanitary pad was found under the dresser in the main floor bedroom. (Did not belong to us) More or stronger light in dining room. Extra sheets and blankets would have been a plus. What we did appreciate was the number of power strips available-very handy for CPaps and phone chargers. The patio is lovely: it made for a great place to gather with a cup of coffee or cocktail. Plenty of comfortable seating. Despite the concerns voiced, once addressed we would give staying here two thumbs up.

Disappointed
House was old and dark. Old is fine, our house is old, but it didn't live up to the pictures we carefully went over on the website. We were told that 3 cars or 1 car plus truck and boat could be parked in back. Yes, BUT....it is a one way ally and if you park there, you have to back all the way out. Trains run constantly all night long. Lots of overgrown brush around property. Outside area was just ok, and the patio with the grill and table were very favorable. The rooms were "adequate". Keep in mind that was the best that 4 fishermen could come up with and they aren't very picky. The host was very good about answering any questions and responded immediately on the two emails I sent. We are used to small town, but this town is extra mini small. Went looking for dinner on last night (Wednesday) but no restaurants were open, but they did find a bar that served food, so that was fine. Lots of "local color" at the bar which they found fun. The guys said the house was "ok" and met their needs with 4 separate bedrooms, but that they wouldn't be comfortable endorsing it to anyone else.

Cute Cottage in a Cute Town
Me and my partner rented the cottage for the weekend, although a bit big for us it was perfect. Stockholm's extremely cute downtown and Lake Pepin are just steps away or a short bike ride on one of the town's free bicycles. Our host was great too, I phoned with a few questions and she was happy to help. Go stay at Banner Cottage!

Quaint and we'll laid out
The property is quite quaint with an old style elegance and feel. It has no central air, but the window a/c are of tlan older style and are very cold and reliable. There is a very active railroad immediately behind the property, however, the noise and vibrations bring me back to my boyhood home and I found it very soothing once we got used to it. The kids found all of the trains very fascinating and watched them often. The host has made sure that it was well supplied and very easy to get a hold of. I will stay here again.

pictures are not always correct
Pat was very good coming to help get tv signed on. the area is great. kitchen updated with plenty of accessories to use. The stairs are very small and steep. the furniture needs to be updated. The dark blue paint could be changed to lighter color. The biggest disappointment was the deck. The tile floor coming up, could trip. The couches need to be updated. You cannot see the river or access the yard. Needs some lawn care. The side porch was very nice though. We just ignored all this and enjoyed the surrounding area. With a few minor upgrades this would be super.

College Roomies at Fresh Art Tour
We were generally pleased with our stay. Would point out to other senior citizens or those with limited mobility that the only access is through the front door with private parking in the rear of the building making loading and unloading luggage, purchases, and supplies a real challenge to get in. To be fair, there is some on street parking right in front of the cottage, but there is no assurance they will be available to occupants. Most rentals have coffee and condiments on hand…there was not enough coffee in the container to make even one pot. There were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, cups, etc provided. Lots of games on the premises too. It would have been helpful to have written out directions for using the TV…this group of senior citizens is not very technically savvy! Pat was very helpful and even stopped to see if we needed the heat turned on as it was turning cool. Cute little town with some interesting shops and restaurants. The trains run frequently during the night on the very nearby railroad tracks and occasionally woke us up…I think we didn’t notice as much after the first night and considered it part of the ambiance! We were all overall satisfied with our weekend stay.
