About this property

Waterfront A-Frame — Walkable Pepin & River Views

A waterfront A-Frame on Lake Pepin with sweeping river views and one of the most walkable locations in town. Just down the street from Harbor View Café and The Pickle Factory, and close to Villa Bellezza and Woods & Co., it’s an easy, comfortable place to stay for wedding weekends, romantic getaways, or creative retreats.

Welcome to The Dockside — perched right on the marina with sweeping views of Lake Pepin’s widest waters and bluffs beyond.

Inside, the tall cedar-clad ceilings and large windows bring the water and sky right into the space. It’s open and light but still cozy, with places to gather, write, sketch, read, or just sit out on the large private balcony and watch the river move.

The layout works especially well for wedding weekends — open common areas, comfortable seating, and space for two couples to stay comfortably, with room for friends to gather before or after events at Villa Bellezza or Woods & Co.

The main level flows easily between living, dining, and kitchen areas, and you’ll find additional sleeping space upstairs via the spiral staircase. Downstairs, the master bedroom with its own view offers a peaceful place to close the door and rest.

Guests often mention how quickly they relax here — that time seems to slow just a bit when you wake up with that water view.

Highlights:
- Waterfront views right from the balcony and main living areas
- Light-filled, open A-frame design with cathedral ceilings
- Cedar accents and thoughtful, comfortable furnishings
- Comfortable for up to two couples, with flexible extra sleeping arrangements
- Steps away from the marina and scenic riverside paths

Perfect for:
- Couples looking for a romantic, waterfront escape
- Families
- Wedding guests attending events at Villa Bellezza or Woods & Co.
- Creative travelers seeking inspiring views and quiet mornings
- Friends or two couples traveling together who value shared space

Please note that the A-Frame Cabin is one of two units at The Dockside -- the other is the Marina Bungalow. Each unit can be rented on its own, or the entire property can be booked and a pass-through door can be unlocked to enjoy The Dockside as one massive, 4-bedroom, 4-bath home with two kitchens, two dining rooms, three living rooms/TVs! Links for all listings are in my host profile.

The Dockside has everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.
Please remove your shoes in the entryway! Absolutely no parties. Quiet hours begin at 10pm, and must be respected for the sake of any guests that may be staying in the Marina Bungalow unit, and for our neighbors. No pets unless previously authorized by the host, and absolutely no smoking.

We`ve got super nice neighbors, so it`s really important to make sure they are not disturbed during your stay. This means: absolutely no excessive noise, and no parties. Please be quiet and respectful while here, and when entering/exiting the property or spending time in the yard or on the deck. Thanks!

A view with some rooms.

We were in town for a wedding and needed a place that was good for a small family gathering. This comfy little A frame is close to cafe’s, bars, and the marina. Perfect deck for morning coffee and breakfast!

It was a very unique place. It was off season for Pepin but it was very relaxing and fun. There are trains but we kinda enjoyed the rumble! Towns close by were very fun also. We did walk around town and enjoyed a couple places to eat.
