Cozy stay!

What a great little spot tucked away in Pepin! It was perfect for our needs. Nice space, spacious bed, full bath, and really nice kitchen. Chuck is a great host, and we got a free dessert on him when we went to Harbor View! Will stay again and will be telling our friends.

4th of July Escape

The tiny house was so cute and had everything you could need. It was located close to places to eat, shops and the marina/lake. The chickens and beautiful farm lands were an extra bonus. It was just the peaceful escape we needed. Thanks so much Charles. We will be back

My granddaughter and I stayed one night recently when we came to see Laura Ignalls birthplace. The tiny Alden house was perfect for us. It was clean, bed was comfortable and what I always like it had a ceiling fan.Chuck,Elan, Oscar and the chickens were great hosts. Chuck and Elan were very kind in leaving a gift for my granddaughter. Thank you for our nice stay at your tiny house .

Came to town for a wedding

The place was as described and had everything we needed. Check-in was very easy. The bed was very comfortable. Cell service was a little spotty, but the Wi-Fi worked very well.

Perfect for us

Check-in was easy, and communication from the host was great. The bed was comfy, and the place had everything we needed. We also loved the outdoor deck area—the beautiful flowers made it feel like a little tropical oasis. We'd definitely stay again and have already recommended it to our in-laws, who have a wedding in the area in May

It was a nice cozy clean place. It had everything except an oven.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Peterson

Host profile image
Originally grew up in Albertville, MN. I enjoy gardening, raising chickens and spending time with my kids. I always have various projects going on on my property as I try to make improvements.

Why they chose this property

My place is the first place out side of the Pepin Village, so I live on 1.25 acres with a large garden and I rotate laying hens around the property during the warmer months. It's a spacious, quiet and private property. But, also close to Pepin for easy quick access to our various restaurants and bars. And of course Lake Pepin.

What makes this property unique

I have a greenhouse that has 2 hammock chairs that guests are free to relax in. Heating is available during the cold months. If it's sunny out during the warmer months it can get quite hot in there.
I also have laying hens that are rotated around the property that you are free to see. The netting that surrounds them is electric.
