新着！ ポーチとペピン湖を望む歴史的なゲッタウェイ！

Thanks, Louann (and sister Carol) for choosing our site. It is so fun driving by and seeing 10+ cars in the rear and lots of folks sitting in the yard enjoying the gardens and fire pit! We are honored to have been part of your family celebration! Please come again and thanks for how clean and nice you left the property. We are still wrestling with Century LINK for internet. We have no other option for internet at this time in the valley. So thanks for understanding. Colleen on the village board is working toward better broadband in the area. We do not even get cable or dish out here because of the hills around us! But the area makes up for not TV---the RIVER is amazing! Again, thanks for staying with us! You are always welcome!

Thanks, Shelley and her family for choosing us in little Stockholm WI This building was created by a German immigrant who came up the river in 1850's as a young man from St Louis. He must have fallen in love with the area or Elizabeth from Pepin WI. He eventually settled on the hotel site with his new wife in the early 1860's and soon was making BRICKS. He built the first half of the hotel where the dining room is, we think, in the mid 1860's. His name is Christian Godfrey BRUCHMAN, which in German seems to refer to a brick maker. His dream was to help push the TRAINS up through Wisconsin. He then Built the second part of the building and connected them in the mid 1870's when he was in his 60's. They had 9 children and none of them were lost in child hood, so there is much happiness in the building! Elizabeth had a restaurant all her adult life in the dining room of the hotel, family style. AND the trains did finally arrive in 1883. Christian passed in 1889. BUT . . . Another dream of his was to have a hotel for the travelers that were now getting off the train practically at his door step, and which divided his house from the lake. Since he had 6 bedrooms upstairs that he created by uniting these two structures, he felt it would fit perfectly. Except the union was uneven and two foundations sagged at different levels. Yes, the floors slant and there are humorous shapes to the doors which are original to the building. It is old! We have worked on the NORTH side & lifted the structure 3 in. Unfortunately it is not the hilton, it is a restored and quaint building that housed the dreams of a man & woman so long ago! We gently maintain it and accept its antiquity with joy. Now for the rest of the story. His son, Fredrick opened the hotel from 1914-1916, just 100 years ago! All dreams had come true! The entire West coast of Wisconsin is amazingly picturesque w/ the river flowing wide at Pepin which becomes Lake Pepin for some of the most beautiful days in Mark Twain's life and ours! Join us! Oh, and Shelley and her family accepted the "Trivia village hunt" I put out to them . . . "Find the gravestone of the founding father of the village" . . .and they did! Ask them what the prize was! (hint . . . there is a cow on the label and Wisconsin loves it ?) Again, we are honored with every guest that arrives and strive to make them feel welcome! The little hotel winked at me for years & I finally bought her and made her SHINE again! Love, Rebecca

Marielle and friends, We so appreciate your kind recommendation! You folks were many but you left the hotel/guest house in wonderful shape!!! wow! I was surprised at how neat and clean it was! We love families to come and enjoy the area. There is so much to do and see and we wish for people to "unplug" and that is why we do not have TV but we do have a PIANO . . . a fire pit . . . a huge shaded yard by the village. It was a pleasure to hear from the other shopkeepers about your visits! Free blue bikes on every corner for guests and all to enjoy and then just put back . . . how great is that! Next time I will give you the treasure hunt through the village . . .take the challenge! Please come back to visit us again! send your friends and family . . .they will be welcomed! WINTER is an amazing time too . . . I call the Mighty Mississippi the ice freeway . . .a totally different way to experience the river and lake! Thanks for choosing us! Sincerely, Rebecca and Chris

Congratulations, Bobbi, on the happy occasion of your son's wedding! Thank you for taking the time to write this review! I loved coming to check on your family and found a young lady playing the piano!!!! We purposely do not have TV and the area does not have cable anyway, but, we wish for families to do things together instead of watching television! Please consider us again in the future and we will do free concierge service and share the secrets to the area! We have a treasure hunt that families can enjoy including "find the grave site of Eric Peterson, the village founder . . . it is not in the cemetery . . ." The West coast of Wisconsin is amazing! Sincerely, Rebecca & Chris
