We enjoyed the stay alot. Good location with scenic views of Lake Pepin.

Good place. We found it to be clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Despite it being an older home the owners have made numerous, recent improvements on the house that were quite evident to us.

Girl Trip

Great location. Easy walk to stores and restaurants in town. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evenings or taking a stroll by the lake. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. If our travels bring us back to this area we would stay here again.

This home is very comfortable, cozy and clean. The sunroom and outdoor space are lovely as well. The location is excellent. It is walking distance to downtown where you can enjoy the marina, parks, beaches, restaurants, gift shops, etc. It a close drive to the charming cities and communities of Wabasha, Red Wing, Pepin, Stockholm and Alma. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property, easy access to the small town of Lake City. Everything in the house was super clean and beautiful. We didn't do any cooking but it looked pretty well stocked. We happened to be there during a hot period, so the screened in porch and table there were much too hot to use, but the AC in the house worked great! Really nice property that we would rent again.

Sister vacation

4 sisters had a wonderful time in Lake City on Lake Pepin. The house was clean, beds comfortable, location excellent. Enjoyed sitting in the back porch in the evening to play cards. Loved that we could walk and wander downtown and the marina. There are free bikes at the marina that 2 of us rode. We saw a few eagles flying close.

Relaxing water front

It was a surprising gem. The house was updated and very clean. We were able to grill and cook in the cute updated kitchen. The host answered any questions we had in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this house for your next visit to Lake City.

Lovely house!

Cute house, great location, very clean, everything we needed was there. For us it was an emergency visit and the greatest thing was the owner. I can't say enough about how accommodating Joe was for me in a very hard situation for my family. I would MOST DEFINITLY rent from him again. Hard to find people like that in this day and age.

Beautiful home, walkable to everything in town. We would recommend eating at Port 104 and Kelly’s steakhouse. Loved the 3 season porch on the back of the house. The kitchen could have been stocked better. There were no Kleenex in the house and we had to buy toilet paper when we were there. The ice maker on the refrigerator did not work, but the freezer was stalked with 40lbs of ice. We really appreciated that. Beds were super comfortable. The back yard was adorable. We enjoyed seeing wildlife out there. Bunnies - Ducks - and lot’s of birds. We loved having a sitting area in the back yard as well. Super clean home - we would 100% stay here again. Host was very responsive also. Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful home

Wonderful home right on the shores of Lake Pepin!

We had an amazing stay at Joe’s place and are so grateful for his hospitality! The home is right across the road from beautiful Lake Pepin and has recently been remodeled. Joe has thought of everything to make you feel right at home! He was super easy to communicate with and responded promptly. Check-in was simple as he just left the back door unlocked after cleaning staff left. While we didn’t need anything, Joe does live nearby and checked in to make sure we were all settled in! We loved cooking meals together in the gorgeous kitchen and found everything we needed to do so. A grocery store is conveniently located within a one block walk. All beds were very comfortable and the whole place was very clean. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone in Lake City!

Nice house in great location

Had nice stay for five women. - cousin’s get together. Comfy beds clean bathrooms. Great location for surrounding towns for shopping, antiquing, eating and sights. Although we could sit /eat at kitchen peninsula would have appreciated even a card table and chairs on porch for card/board games. Had slight issue getting access when we arrived but owners responsive and apologetic. Overall good time

Amazing home with amazing view!!

Beautiful and very clean home with awesome backyard and beautiful view out front window. Easy communication with owners , with timely responses. Stocked with everything we needed. Walking distance to downtown. Very comfortable beds! Would rent this home again. We were a group of 4 women on girls weekend ( for 4 days) and had an awesome time shopping in town and local other towns. Spent alot of time relaxing in back yard. This a is a definite number one place if your looking in the Lake City area.
