Cozy Cottage

Clean, safe, pretty, quiet. This cottage had everything we needed for our stay. We could easily have cooked each night but Pepin has great restaurants and nearby towns that are fun to explore. We’re talking about going back in the fall because it was perfect!

Nice spot for a quick stay

Our stay was just fine for what we needed it for. It was very clean aside from several spiders that liked to make their homes in the corners. We struggled to get the TV to work properly but that’s not super important. Overall it was nice.

Nice little space to use very cute and cozy, however, there were spiders in every corner and all over the shower. Most weren’t that big but there were a few wolf spiders.

Lovely space in a quiet location

The kitchen is large and adequately stocked with kitchenware.The couch is comfortable, the bed was not so perfect for my delicate back.The hot water is quickly available. The Homemade Cafe just north on the opposite side of the highway is a great lunch place.

Weekend in Pepin

Two college friends and I met in Pepin for the weekend, and truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The host was very responsive with questions and everything was a breeze. The cottage was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed. There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance and we also took a drive to Stockholm, Stone Barn Pizza, and a few other local spots. Pepin is a great place to visit and this cottage was perfect for the three of us.

Quick getaway

The cottage was exactly what we needed for a quick little getaway. Bed was comfortable, but for tall people, the furniture and bed are low to the ground. The listing does say lakeview, which is the reason we booked, but there is no lakeview. The lake is about 2 blocks away. But we still enjoyed our walks to the beach. Pepin is lovely and lots to do with 20 minutes all around. Pictures were very accurate. Host was wonderful to work with.
