About this property

MINNeSTAY* The Lakeview | Stunning Views | Bird Watching | Trails

Welcome to The Lakeview!
Minnestay's newest listing located in beautiful Red Wing.

As you drive up to The Lakeview, you'll believe you've reached a traditional ranch style home but when you step inside the front door, you'll realize this is MUCH, MUCH more! The Lakeview is a majestic home situated on the bluffs of Wacouta Bay, overlooking the mouth of the Mississippi River. This home is located right in a migration path which lends itself to the best bird watching around. Bald Eagles nests can be seen across the bay, and visitors will see many eagles fishing and teaching their young to fly.

The views here are nothing short of magical. The home is beautifully updated to the perfect modern aesthetic and boasts some of the best amenities, such a multi functional deck space in the back. This space has hideaway walls that allow the deck to be open, or drop the sides and you're enclosed in a wonderful porch that has ceiling heaters to take the chill out of those cool evenings. The home also includes a large soaking tub, double sinks in the main level bathroom, walking trails that are 50' from the home, and a massive yard to run, play and enjoy all that the outdoors have to offer you here. Also The Lakeview loves to host wedding guests- we are located just a few miles from several wedding venues!

Home base for Spring Break college visits
Took day trips to tour colleges with our oldest son, and this location worked great. Sparkling clean. Very quiet. What a view! We didn’t turn the TV on the whole time we were there because we just hung by the fire and enjoyed the view. Proximity to Red Wing, very convenient!

Weekend Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at this VRBO property! The view was simply spectacular and added a magical touch to our entire experience. The big dining room table was a hit – we used it for delicious meals, exciting games, and even conquered a challenging puzzle. We decided to take the bikes for a spin along the trail, which was a fun addition to our trip. However, if you're a serious cyclist planning long rides, it's worth mentioning that the bikes on-site are more on the vintage side. Consider bringing your own for those extended journeys. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze, making the whole experience even more convenient. Although we didn't do much cooking at the property, we did notice a shortage of pots, pans, and food storage items, which might need some improvement. The property's decor was tastefully done, and it was spotlessly clean. For a weekend getaway, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this place, especially if you want to soak in that stunning view and make memories around the dining room table.

Family weekend
We stayed at the house for a family wedding weekend. The house was great! Only wish we had more time to enjoy it. Some items in kitchen were in strange places so you do have to look around a little and we never did find coffee filters but still really enjoyed our stay!
