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
