Cool Lodge

The Maiden Rock Retreat is truly that. We had 9 people and there were separate beds for everyone. The place is huge and there was plenty of room for our socializing. Great accommodations and the property manager was delightful. We took the time to explore the local towns along the river and even though the building is right next to the RR tracks, we made a game of it when the train went by. Thanks MRR!

What a find!

Had the most spectacular time at Maiden Rock Retreat celebrating my 50th birthday. The space was immaculately clean with beautiful views of Lake Pepin. We had 15-20 people in and out over the weekend and there was more than enough room for everyone. The suites provided peaceful privacy for anyone needing a break from the main party. Deb was a gracious host who patiently helped us get the kegerator and music flowing. Can’t wait to come back!

Maiden Rock / Golf weekend

Maiden Rock Retreat was a perfect spot for our annual college group golf weekend. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless and easily accomodated our group of 8. The 2 kitchens were stocked with all of the pots / pans / dishware / glassware needed and can easily accomodate larger groups and events. The spectacular 2 story bar was a great gathering spot and provided wonderful views of the area bluffs and lake! Note that the trains that run outside the building can be loud however we did not have an issue with them. 2 bar / restaurants within walking distance is also nice. Deb is a very responsive host and was able to accomodate our different arrival times. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous stay

Initially we had rented this for 20ish of us coming in for a wedding at a vineyard. Little by little the majority of them cancelled. We were still excited to stay in the redone Creamery. It did not disappoint. The only thing I would suggest was that perhaps a door could be closed between the owners living quarters to the kitchen and the overlook area to the bar room. Felt a little uncomfortable when I was in my jammies making coffee. Otherwise we all loved it and would stay again even with a little lack of privacy. (they have is a closed door, but an entrance into the kitchen remains open to their apartment- same with the bar area)

A Phenomenal Experience

Coming off of a very hard year (Covid), I wanted to pull my adult children and grandchildren together to reinforce the value and power that "family" provides. There were important matters to share from assorted members ( a recent new house purchase, a work promotion, bonuses) and sharing such great news deserved a great venue. The size of the facility is enormous. When we wanted our group of 15 together, there was always room in the bar area, or the ability to all sit at one table during meals (no more kiddie tables). There were also so many optional seating and gathering areas to allow groups to break off and break away for private conversations or the necessary phone messaging. It was something that I thought might be a once in a lifetime event, but now we are all talking about making this a regular go-to spot for future reunions and gatherings. The pictures do not do the creamery justice. This is an amazing venue, the host (Deb) was so kind and made sure we were well taken care of. This is a hidden gem, don't put off discovering it in your own way.

Book this ASAP!!!

The listing is accurate for what you get… but it definitely doesn’t do it justice! Deb’s space is way more than what you see. It is a beautiful home with plenty of space for whatever you may need. We used it as a space to get together as 16 people to celebrate the end of summer. With a big group, it’s always hard to find a place for us. However, Maiden Rock comfortably fit us all! The kitchen and dining area allowed us to have family-style meals, the living room/game room area gave us the space to play games, and there was plenty of refrigerator space for all of our food and drinks. I highly recommend picking up after yourselves as much as you can because it is a big space, so you don’t want to save it for your last day/check-out. Deb was amazing with communication from the minute we booked it, to meeting us for a walkthrough, until we checked out. I will say the train does run very often and it is pretty loud. However, we got used to it and no one complained about it. This was a perfect weekend getaway for all of us. I highly recommend you book this place ASAP - you definitely won’t regret it!!!
