33 Acres located in a wooded valley near Lake Pepin

The Cottage, at Journey Inn, an eco-retreat, is a cozy vacation home nestled in a beautiful secluded valley (coulee), 3 miles from Lake Pepin (the Mississippi River). The Cottage is for guests who are looking for a quiet get-away or retreat in a natural setting, and is just 1 hour from St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Cottage has a fully equipped kitchen (with complimentary teas, coffee and delicious, clean well water), a casual dining area, a living room with wood stove, two bathrooms (one with shower, one with a spa tub) and a covered front porch. The living room, dining room and kitchen occupy a bright, open floor plan and are fully tiled. The two king bedrooms have wood floors and large windows. Additionally, the living room has a queen sleeper sofa plus several other chairs and a small library. All rooms offer excellent views of the surrounding hills and woods.

The 33-acre property affords guests opportunities for biking country roads, as well as hiking our trails that pass through prairies, woodlands and hills. Enjoy bird watching by day and
star-gazing the wide-open, dark skies at night. You will have a private grill and a shared campfire area with seating.

Many nearby attractions are available to our guests including art galleries, restaurants, unique shops and wineries. There are bountiful opportunities for driving or biking scenic roads along the Mississippi or back country into the hills of The Driftless Region of Western Wisconsin. Art-inspired guests can experience Spring and Autumn art tours, The Stockholm Art Fair, music, theater and other activities throughout The Mississippi Valley region.

Our family of 6 plus 2 dogs loved this cottage.
We were there when it was snowing and later in the weekend when it was sunshiny and warm. We lit a fire in the wood burning stove and walked outside and enjoyed the labyrinth. We heard the coyotes yip and watched the hawks fly over the bluff. We braked for turkeys and deer. We also made the short trek into Red Wing for serious shopping and spent time at Lena’s. In short we loved it all!

A perfect retreat
Charlene and John are delightful hosts who have created an eco-friendly and peaceful retreat in the cottage that shares grounds with the main retreat center. The location is totally quiet apart from the sound of birds and other wildlife. There are panoramic views of gentle woodland and meadowland and a creek on the expansive grounds. We were a bit too early in the season to take full advantage of the private walks as the owners were still working on some of the preparation after a harsh winter, although we enjoyed the labryinth and a hillside walk that they had conveniently marked out for visitors. Charlene makes some of her own aromatherapy lotions and sprays and provides these in the bathrooms at the cottage. Other thoughtful features include a supply of organic teas in the kitchen, interesting books and DVDs, and a gas grill. We took advantage of a massage and Energy Therapy during our visit and brunch one day over at the main building. Our party was 3 adults (we travelled with our adult son) and we each appreciated the tranquility and restfulness of the accommodation and the area in general. Hope to return in the not too distant future.

Loved it!
We were coming in to the area to check out the ice palace with the St Paul Winter Carnival. My family & I aren't big city folks, so when I saw this was an hour out of St Paul was immediately interested. Let me just say the drive there was breathtaking & once there, we weren't disappointed. As the pictures show it is nestled amongst the hills. Serene & lovely. Their post mentioned there were trails, although ungroomed, we brought our XCountry skis with & made our own path on the trails. Here again, very lovely with a babbling brook to boot. The cabin was quaint, actually bigger than I thought it would be. Had all the amenities we ever need. Absolutely loved the little wood stove & cozying up to that. Very interesting selection of books. Took the time to scan through several & walked away with a little more knowledge. In researching things to do in the area, my hubby came upon Nugget Lake Park which was within a 12 mile drive. There is quite a network of groomed trails there for skiing. Also a hill for tubing/sliding & a road that goes out on the ice if your interested in doing a little ice fishing. The drive to Nugget Lake will also not disappoint. If your interested in massage, yoga or a Japanese Steam tub (think that's what it is called) looks like that could also be an option with prior arrangement. If you're looking for a relaxing quiet retreat, this place should be on your radar. Thank you for being part of our memorable weekend.

Thanksgiving Weekend in Maiden Rock
Being from the area growing up, we decided to try something different for Thanksgiving. We stayed at John and Charlene's Cottage and had an absolute wonderful time. Great accommodations and the hosts were very polite and helpful. We have hunting land about 20 minutes from Maiden Rock so my son's and I also had some time to hunt. If available again next year, we will hope to do the same stay! One of our sons is getting married in May, so to accommodate, we will have to get him and his bride a room at the bed n' breakfast also. Thanks for the great weekend. Mike & Lucy Myers

The perfect getaway to relax and enjoy nature
My husband and I, and our dog, spent a "working weekend" at this cabin. It is located in a beautiful little valley off the Mississippi River. The property has a wonderful trail system that winds through woods, fields, and a stream. There is also a state natural area directly across the road, which we explored. The cabin itself has a wood burning stove, well stocked kitchen, jacuzzi bath, and is decorated in a lovely homey way. It was so relaxing. Even with snow and overcast skies, we really enjoyed this late October getaway. Charlene and John are pros; everything was clean and well organized, and they are super responsive owners. We hope to come again, and see what the place is like in each season.

Lovely setting and lovely cottage.
I highly recommend this cottage and really appreciate the fact that I was able to get an in-house massage ordered up. My dad and I will be back.

Serenity in a quaint cottage
Enjoyed our weekend stay in the cottage; the accommodations were clean and comfortable from living room to bedrooms. The kitchen is well supplied for an occasional meal. Several shelves of books for browsing and games were also available. The surroundings are peaceful and lovely, we walked the road as well as the mowed paths around the property and saw many birds and wildlife all around. Sitting on the porch of the cottage we were treated to hummingbirds sipping from the honeysuckle vine growing nearby. A lovely retreat!
