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.

A Great Cabin to get away
We had a great time on Lake Pepin! We fished and played golf. It was wonderful to have the grill and plenty of plates and utensils to cook dinner. Once you get here, it’s so relaxing, you really don’t want to leave. Thanks for a great place to stay for a quick getaway!

Rustic camping at its best.
It was a great experience for my family and I. Great area, plenty of room for the 7 of us, nice large yard for kids and our pup to run around outside. Beach was close by and the fish were even closer. Nice and close to lake city if you need anything. Fresh market there. Randy was amazing and made sure we were accommodated with anything we needed. Look forward to spending next summers vacation at the Belmont on Pepin again.
