The cottage was perfect place for some peace and quiet for my writing retreat. Cozy and comfortable, just as the pictures show. The kitchen has everything I needed for the cooking I did while there, and check in was a breeze. Communication with the owners was quick, and they are kind and gracious. Thanks for your hospitality!

Lovely space in a quiet location

The kitchen is large and adequately stocked with kitchenware.The couch is comfortable, the bed was not so perfect for my delicate back.The hot water is quickly available. The Homemade Cafe just north on the opposite side of the highway is a great lunch place.

Weekend in Pepin

Two college friends and I met in Pepin for the weekend, and truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The host was very responsive with questions and everything was a breeze. The cottage was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed. There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance and we also took a drive to Stockholm, Stone Barn Pizza, and a few other local spots. Pepin is a great place to visit and this cottage was perfect for the three of us.

The place we stayed at felt like home away from home for my husband and I. Everything about the property and amenities fit all of our needs and more. Very clean and a great location. Anytime I had a question the Host responded almost immediately. We will definitely be back!

Quick getaway

The cottage was exactly what we needed for a quick little getaway. Bed was comfortable, but for tall people, the furniture and bed are low to the ground. The listing does say lakeview, which is the reason we booked, but there is no lakeview. The lake is about 2 blocks away. But we still enjoyed our walks to the beach. Pepin is lovely and lots to do with 20 minutes all around. Pictures were very accurate. Host was wonderful to work with.
