Perfect Fall Getaway
My husband and I took a long weekend for his birthday up to Lake Pepin. What an absolute gem this cottage was! All of the stresses of life just melted away from the gorgeous scenery and I just loved all of the charm and neat antiques in this home. We will definitely return!!!!!

Wonderful get away a short drive from home
We were looking for a cabin not far from home and we found in Randy’s rustic cabin in Old Frontenac on Lake Pepin. What’s amazing is the property (not the cabin) was underwater because of flooding on the Mississippi River 3 weeks before we arrived. But the lawn was cleaned up, we parked the pontoon on the beach and moved into the cabin, which is older, but has a large living area and was very clean. There’s no TV reception, no internet and cell service for a spotty, but we loved it! Our 7 day stay was relaxing. There’s a nice fire pit and 4 golf courses nearby. We spent our days in the pontoon and our nights grilling and playing games. Randy was extremely good at communicating with us and making sure we had everything we needed. It was wonderful and we will be back.!

Needs upgrades
We understood some of issues with the river flooding. The first impression was bad. Entryway needed cleaning and paint was in I’ll repair. The grill was unusual dirty and needed some inner parts. Grill tools we’re discussing. Some the furniture was in disrepair. The view was wonderful and could be a top notch place. We did leave a note telling them about the issues.

Great location
The location was great. Enjoyed the view. It was unfortunate that the lake/river flooded prior to our stay, however, we were still able to enjoy the kayaks that were provided. It was also nice to bring our pets to enjoy the vacation. I think the place just needs a little repair, the windows facing the lake did leak a little when it rained/stormed the one night. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Great stay, host provided s’more making material and firewood. Great fishing and view of lake Pepin. My wife’s father grew up in Frontenac so it was a trip down memory lane. We loved hiking at the state park.

Lake Pepin visit
Looking for a place for a family gathering in Minnesota. Found this cabin on Lake Pepin. It is a rustic cabin right on the water. Fulfilled our housing needs and greatly enjoyed the scenery. Had campfires every night and enjoyed the array of wildlife present. We would look to rent here again if we are back in the area.

Great as Always!!!
Wonderful time once again. Quiet peaceful cottage right on the river and very close to public beach. Fishing is always good in a boat or right from shore. Randy is very helpful and easy going. Cant wait till next year. Even with the flooding this spring Randy made sure the place was in order before our stay.

Great cabin!
Randy’s place is the perfect cabin! It has all the amenities of home, but is rustic enough to know you’re on vacation. The location is perfect…on a quiet lagoon right on Lake Pepin. Plenty of room to sit, let the world pass you by and watch the eagles soar.

Disappointed
The cabin smelled, was dirty, they had stacks of cushions (for outsude) on a table, old torn up bedding, torn chairs, had no 3 prong plugs to plug in the fireplace or anything else. There was something crawling in the walls. We stayed the first night because it was to late to find a place, but left the next morning. Just an awful experience

Buyer Beware
We were very excited for our stay at this little cabin. The pictures looked nice enough, and we weren’t expecting a palace by any means. The outside has a great big yard, but it’s a mess. The deck has a railing that’s falling off, there is junk piled all around, and half the furniture doesn’t have cushions. We booked this house in particular so the kids could play in the water while we sat and watched them. No such luck, the algae was horrible, not necessarily the owner’s fault, but it would have been nice to know that swimming was not an option. Inside the house is cluttered and cramped. The “queen” bed is not long enough for a 5’10” adult. The bedroom with two beds seems to have a box spring as a mattress for one of them. There are two sofa beds that pull out and one was ok, not comfortable, but ok, the other was broken as the bar at the head of the bed did not hold up. The toilet is the Las thing I will mention, the handle broke, so we had to take the tank cover off and flush it that way. The location was good, with a useable beach a very short drive away. We had a good time and the house has potential, just needs a good overhaul.
