We had a fun weekend and the cottage was so cute. However the beds were really uncomfortable, there was not enough linens/blankets for all of us. We made the best of it, but the place was a bit dirty, and we decided not to swim or kayak because the beach had a lot of trash and dead fish.

The property outside needed some TLC. The cabin had what we needed inside. The beds were uncomfortable. We could not get to the beach due to a swamp in the lawn. The propery location was good. It was a beautiful view.

Great cabin!

Randy’s place is the perfect cabin! It has all the amenities of home, but is rustic enough to know you’re on vacation. The location is perfect…on a quiet lagoon right on Lake Pepin. Plenty of room to sit, let the world pass you by and watch the eagles soar.

Rustic cottage

Great stay, host provided s’more making material and firewood. Great fishing and view of lake Pepin. My wife’s father grew up in Frontenac so it was a trip down memory lane. We loved hiking at the state park.

Perfect Fall Getaway

My husband and I took a long weekend for his birthday up to Lake Pepin. What an absolute gem this cottage was! All of the stresses of life just melted away from the gorgeous scenery and I just loved all of the charm and neat antiques in this home. We will definitely return!!!!!

Lake Pepin visit

Looking for a place for a family gathering in Minnesota. Found this cabin on Lake Pepin. It is a rustic cabin right on the water. Fulfilled our housing needs and greatly enjoyed the scenery. Had campfires every night and enjoyed the array of wildlife present. We would look to rent here again if we are back in the area.

Great location

The location was great. Enjoyed the view. It was unfortunate that the lake/river flooded prior to our stay, however, we were still able to enjoy the kayaks that were provided. It was also nice to bring our pets to enjoy the vacation. I think the place just needs a little repair, the windows facing the lake did leak a little when it rained/stormed the one night. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Cute cabin!

Just what I love and expect from a lake cabin. Pretty views from cabin. Flat property making loading/unloading and walking back and forth from water to cabin easy. Beach for kids to entertain themselves. Clean, sandy water right out from beach. Great family fun!

rustic cabin on the lake

Loved it. We love Frontenac and the surrounding area. You can hike to the state park from the cabin (3.5 miles to point no point) We Kayaked, Hiked and even did a winery tour at Villa Bellezza in Pepin. Our Host was conscientious and helpful. On our first night we blew a fuse and the refrigerator was out, Randy came over at 7:30 the next morning with a bag of ice (in case he couldn't mend the fridge) and even some of his homemade maple syrup. He was able to get the fridge running and we were home free. We will be back!

Great as Always!!!

Wonderful time once again. Quiet peaceful cottage right on the river and very close to public beach. Fishing is always good in a boat or right from shore. Randy is very helpful and easy going. Cant wait till next year. Even with the flooding this spring Randy made sure the place was in order before our stay.

Perfect weekend

My 11-year old kept saying how cozy he thought the house was. My 6-year old enjoyed the kids books in the book-case. We enjoyed the place and the beach and the location. Randy was very kind and responsive. No cell service, which was fantastic! The water from the tap was iron-rich, so we bought some jugs of our own and were happy to find water bottles to drink in the fridge. We would stay here again, for sure!
