Jan had everything set up for us and ready to go for our arrival. The Carriage House was a wonderful place to stay, comfortable with space to hang out. We only stayed for one night, wish we could have stayed longer!

Host profile image

The Harbor Hill Inn is special to me as I work to carry out the vision of my late husband Rob. He aspired to cultivate inviting, comfortable spaces that guests enjoyed and couldn't wait to come back to. I look forward to your stay in Pepin and I hope you love it as much as he did and I do!

What makes this property unique

The Harbor Hill Inn, originally built as a home for Captain Newcomb's daughter in 1873, has three guest rooms and a solarium lounge area for reading, conversation, and enjoying a morning coffee. Newcomb was the captain of the Red Wing ship and created the iconic widow's walk atop the Inn as a viewing point for his wife, who was considered a widow as Newcomb was away at sea for such long periods of time. The lookout was used in the 1800s as a way to see if ships were coming into the harbor. All the rooms overlook the mighty Mississippi as a tribute to Captain Newcomb's trips at sea.

Today, Harbor Hill Inn & Lodging is a place where visitors can slow down, soak in the scenery, and experience the best of small-town hospitality. It’s a story built on passion, vision, and love for a special corner of Wisconsin.
We hope you’ll come and be part of it.
