Cozy cabin on the water

We had an excellent time staying in Frontenac on Lake Pepin. Awesome water front lot with views of the bluffs! Great place to disconnect and spend quality time with loved ones.

rustic cabin on the lake

Loved it. We love Frontenac and the surrounding area. You can hike to the state park from the cabin (3.5 miles to point no point) We Kayaked, Hiked and even did a winery tour at Villa Bellezza in Pepin. Our Host was conscientious and helpful. On our first night we blew a fuse and the refrigerator was out, Randy came over at 7:30 the next morning with a bag of ice (in case he couldn't mend the fridge) and even some of his homemade maple syrup. He was able to get the fridge running and we were home free. We will be back!

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!!!!!

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.

Rustic cottage

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.

Cute cabin!

Just what I love and expect from a lake cabin. Pretty views from cabin. Flat property making loading/unloading and walking back and forth from water to cabin easy. Beach for kids to entertain themselves. Clean, sandy water right out from beach. Great family fun!

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.

Vintage is code for musty

The location is great, host was communicative and check-in was easy. The AC worked well and the hot water was instant. Unfortunately the cabin itself leaves much to be desired. The pullout couch was barely functional (something must be broken), one of the grill burners was out so we couldn't cook everyone's dinner at once, the cookware is ancient and past it's usefulness (the only metal spatula I found was missing a handle - made it work but come on just throw it out already!), the diningroom chairs don't have much support left under the cushions so you just sink into the frame.... spiders everywhere, a few mouse droppings sprinkled about and an overwhelming musty smell... my allergies went into high gear. The sliding door onto the patio has a broken latch or mechanism; once you went out you couldn't get back in and would have to walk around to the side door. My mom and I wanted to deep clean and toss half the knick knacks, pull weeds, and address the piles of junk outside. We were disappointed for what we paid and now I understand why it was the only cabin left we could find in that area on shorter notice.

great property!! we knew the recent floods had effected the land, so we were fine. but would have been nice to be able to swim off shore. we were unable to as too many weeds. the cabin is a cabin and was as expected. we enjoyed our time. Randy communicated with us very well and was greatly appreciated.

Perfect weekend

My 11-year old kept saying how cozy he thought the house was. My 6-year old enjoyed the kids books in the book-case. We enjoyed the place and the beach and the location. Randy was very kind and responsive. No cell service, which was fantastic! The water from the tap was iron-rich, so we bought some jugs of our own and were happy to find water bottles to drink in the fridge. We would stay here again, for sure!

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.!

Fantastic stay

Our stay in the Vintage Lake Cottage on Lake Pepin was fantastic! The owner was extremely responsive and very friendly from the moment of our first contact until we had to leave. The cottage is neat and clean and the pictures are accurate. There is no Wi-Fi or cable but hopefully if you are renting this little gem it is primarily for one reason, location location location. It is nestled amongst tall trees with a huge yard, very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. As a matter of fact, although we live in Houston Texas, we rented this place because we were visiting family members in the area and some of them have expressed an interest in renting it for themselves in the future :-)
