About this property

2 level, 2 bedroom/2 bath filled with windows framing amazing water views!

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.

Prime location with stunning views. Kitchen was stocked with supplemental items (think spices, cooking oil, tin foil, etc) which meant we didn't need to buy our own. Bedding and towels were of nice quality and not overly used.

Location is amazing. Property is comfortable. Upstairs cleaning could have been more thorough (spiderwebs on the walls, needed a better vacuuming). Porch is so wonderful but starting to see its wear.So nice to have the firepit.Overall would stay again!

This was truly "a room with a view." We much enjoyed our stay. Only issues were: the instructions for getting in and connecting to wifi were not accurate: dishwasher did not work well: it was hard for us older adults upstairs to use a bathtub.

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!
