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!
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.
We stayed in Holly’s lake house for Memorial Day weekend.We had such a blast! Very comfy and clean. We sat on the porch swing a lot with our doggie and watched the people!Nice quiet street, ample parking, walk to everything, the list goes on and on!We will be back, soon I hope!Julie Madison, WI
This is a lovely cottage right on Lake Pepin with beautiful autumn views of the lake. We really appreciate that it was in walking distance of downtown and could enjoy the stores and restaurants that Lake City had to offer.
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.
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!
This is our third year renting this sweet little house. We rent it because it is in walking distance to my parents house when we visit from NC. We love it because of the view and the cozy details throughout. The house is well stocked. The sunrise over the frozen lake and the easy walk to Heidi's Huggamug were bonuses. It's a charming home, in a lovely neighborhood.
The house was a great place and comfortable. The location was perfect, close to a house other family members were staying. The host responded quickly and was so pleasant. Unique little cottage.
This place was all we wanted and so much more! The location couldn’t have been more perfect and the house was absolutely adorable inside and very, very clean! We will be back, thanks so much!
this is our second stay at this location. After staying the week before at a 5-star location in the same town, this can best be described as a 3 or 4 star location. Very little maintenance/updates have been done in the last year since our last stay. During our stay we had a major storm (winds) and the screen porch had one panel blow out. Contacted host and while they sent someone out to clean up the screen, the replacement was not made during our next week of stay. It was mostly important as the May Fly hatch was ongoing through this week and there was no other place outdoor bug free area and with this screen missing we were forced to endure the May Flies if outdoors or stay inside. Place is too small to stay inside for long. Host has been communicative, however, slow with execution.
Overall this was a wonderful location and comfortable stay. The home does need some maintenance, however this did not distract much from the stay. It comfortably sleeps 4, however one person can stay on the fold-down couch.
This was such a great property, we already booked another stay. We just couldn't get enough of that view! Property owner is very responsive and kind. Can't wait to get back there.
The most beautiful view in all of Lake City, the screened-in porch to enjoy and a perfect layout for utility and relaxation. Everything needed, plus !!Plus...pandeeverenjoyseverytenjoyed
We had a wonderful visit to Lake City. The house has tons of character and charm. We loved the screened porch for morning and afternoon lounging. Great location on the water, and great access to enjoy walking paths near the water and marina. The views are incredible!
Loved my weekend stay in this great spot on the lake in Lake City. The windows facing the water weee perfect. So many spots to sit and have coffee and look out into the water. Saw eagles and boats right from the porch swing and living room couches. It’s decorated so cute and love the sliding doors that can open up the bedroom to the sunrise in the morning. Great location to the town area where I walked to breakfast and local shopping. Had a nice time and would stay again.
We had a great 10 day stay. Communication with Holly was excellent and very responsive. The house is in a fantastic location. Quaint house.
Sleeps four comfortably. All dishes, pans, towels, etc…. Included. The grill was great.
Will definitely do it again.
I have stayed here many times and every visit I am enchanted all over again! This quaint, adorable house has all the modern comforts - love the whirlpool and the free standing tub up in the aerie! The direct river views are magical, and sitting in the swing on 1 of 3 porches is so fun! The largest porch is screened (thank you!) and it and the top one give drop-dead views of Lake Pepin and upriver past Maiden Rock. I would love to be here all the time! 💖

About the host
Hosted by Holly Henderson
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.

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!
