Attention water lovers! This property showcases the beauty of Lake Pepin from every room. The abundance of windows frame breathtaking views. Wood floors warm the newly renovated interior. The deck off the upper bedroom makes you feel as if your in a tree house looking at miles of water and bluffs. Wake each morning in both light-filled bedrooms with stunning vistas, each has its own beautiful bath. Cook in the new state-of-the-art cherry kitchen with stainless steel appliances while focusing on panoramic lake and park beauty. You won't mind doing dishes here! Enjoy dining from the built-in window seat with a back-drop of windows showcasing the best sights in Lake City. Waste away the afternoon in the screened-in porch or on the front porch swing watching the parade of majestic boats go by. You never need to get in your car after you arrive. It is just a few blocks to downtown Lake City and all it has to offer. The Lake City Marina is just two short blocks away. There is a tennis court there as well. Stroll the shores of Pepin or enjoy the sand beach at the park across the street.

Could be the best location in Lake City. Water views on 2 sides from a screened in Porch were just what we were looking for. With temps in the 80s, it helped that the porch was on the north side of the house. The park directly across the street provided easy access to what appeared to be the only beach in town. House was well equipped with everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening relaxation. You can’t beat the location, within walking distance of the marina, and downtown area. The vibe and decor of the home was perfect, and those big windows gave the best view of Lake Pepin. The kitchen and amenities were everything you could need and more. We hope to be back next summer!

Best views

The views were amazing, including the sunrises, sunsets & bald eagles! very quiet area & very walkable to everything. there was no hot tub as noted but temps outside were hot that week. only suggestion would be for better beds, the mattresses were very hard so it was painful sleeping for me.

Great place!

I liked the style of the house, it was comfortable with great views of lake. I was able to bike, walk, and because I was envious of people fishing, I booked a guide and caught lots of fish. Great restaurants and shops nearby. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Good for a fall getaway

Great location directly on tthe river, with only a small quiet street to cross. Quaint small town walkable. Short drive to the National Eagle center. House had a lot of old-timey character but clean and well equipped.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Henderson

Host profile image
My husband and I are residents of Rochester, MN so we have been fortunate enough to enjoy weekends on the water in Lake City for years. It is a short 40 minute drive to all the beauty and energy the river has to offer! My husband is an architect and I am a real estate broker with a degree in interior design. We have been involved in the renovation of real estate for years.

Why they chose this property

We have loved spending weekends with our family and friends in Lake City for years and fell in love with this property and it's fabulous location! After beginning renovation to the home in January, we are finally ready to share it with guests. It is our hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
