This place is amazing. It has everything you need for fun and entertainment or a relaxing evening by the fire. There are so many events you could host here from football viewing to weddings. Deb was quick to respond to any questions. We will no doubt be back.
We absolutely loved the character of this place and all of the space! Room were comfy, clean, and welcoming. The host was exceptional and went over and beyond in assisting us to prepare for our guests. The gathering spaces were perfect for our wedding rehearsal and dinner! We plan to be back!
This a really unique rental. Absolutely loved everything about it. We used the event space to host our grooms dinner and a base for people to gather before and after our sons wedding. Everyone loved this space and we all had a great time!

This place was amazing. The host were great! And it was big to fit all my wedding party
We rented this property for a graduation party. It had enough space for extended family to stay. This is a great place to make perfect memories. Thank you for setting up such a wonderful property. The host is excellent easy to communicate with and accommodating.
Great place to stay especially with a lot of people!
Perfect for entertaining, we used this space to get ready for hair in makeup for our wedding and it was perfect! Great place to entertain, and has lots of space!
We were looking for a spacious location so we could all stay together for my nephew’s wedding. We loved the bar area with a pool table and sound system. It was a great weeekend!
We had a big group staying in Maiden Rock and this place was perfect. It was beautiful, not to mention perfectly clean and well-stocked with everything you might need. Deb was very responsive throughout our entire stay. I would highly recommend it!
We had a great weekend!
Very impressed with the furnishings, provided cooking and food service supplies. We found EVERYTHING we need and more to host our weekend! All of our guests raved about the venue and their rooms.
I booked this beautiful home and event venue for my daughter’s wedding in October. The spacious rooms and apartments easily accommodated the 12 people staying here. I held the “Friday Night Welcome Reception” for 75 people here prior to the wedding at Hidden Meadow and Varn
Spent 2 days with old friends reconnecting. This was the absolute perfect place for us!! We got a kick out of the train going by - it did not bother us at all when we slept. Highly recommend.
This property was so much fun and they had everything we didn't know we needed! There was an abundance of room for our group of 11. Thank you so much for a great New Year's Celebration! ...and a great New Year's Dinner at Six Strings just a half a block away!
This space is amazing. Around every turn there is another nook of couches, there is a magnificent dinning hall, and stunning views! All this coupled with cleanliness and attentive owners makes for a perfect stay. 10/10.
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!
Our growing family stayed here for Christmas, as our home is just not big enough! The private spaces, the apartments, the large Dining table, fridge space, great room and bar were amazing. Trains were loud, but turned into background noise. The kids Loved watching them out the windows. We hope it works out that we can stay again!!
Thank you!
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 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!
