☀️☀️ Garden Street Retreat at Lake Pepin ☀️☀️

• Renovated space inside & out perfect for multi-generational gatherings
• 3 large bedrooms on main floor with more sleeping spaces downstairs
• 3.5 baths & 2 sets of laundry
• 3,600 SF inside + heated 4-season porch
• Two 70" Smart TVs
• Fully fenced backyard w two seating areas, fire table and grill
• Walking distance to marina, playground & downtown

Step into a slice of heaven with this fully renovated property that's perfect for family reunions or other gatherings with fun for all ages! Multiple areas to relax inside and out, while being just a few steps from the shore of picturesque Lake Pepin and a short drive to the beach.

This 3,600 SF property shines with high-end finishes across the spectrum. Relax in the giant great room with a 70" smart TV, play video games on a huge sectional in the basement, kick back outside under the pergola or retreat to the master bedroom for some R&R — there's options for everyone with plenty of space to do your own thing.

The main floor has three bedrooms with two king beds and a queen. The basement features two more queen beds, plus a double bed with a trundle stored underneath. Utilize an inflatable queen to sleep up to 17 people! The home includes three full bathrooms, plus a half bath off the main living area, with an oversized water heater to minimize issues for large groups.

The fully stocked kitchen features stone countertops and stainless steel appliances — including a gas range! — plus everything you'd expect in your own home. A Keurig and drip coffee pot are provided to get you going in the morning!

The crown jewel might just be the back yard. Located just outside the heated/cooled 4-season porch is a beautifully landscaped area that includes two seating areas with a fire table and two grills — gas and charcoal. There's plenty of green space for activities, but a tall privacy fence allows for casual conversation to run late into the evening. The front patio also includes privacy fencing and multiple seating options.

While Lake City is filled with outdoor activities during the summer, this property was built to shine in any season!

Spacious nicely decorated and very clean home!
There were 9 of us gals that stayed(Red Hat) group and the property was very nice, impressed with how spotless the place was and accommodations were great for our size of group. House well stocked with what you need(kitchen/bath etc) The Host, Brett, was wonderful to work with and addressed things immediately if we had a question. We met the cleaning gal, and she was wonderful. Very happy with our stay and the house. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay with a group
This house is a gem to stay in. It has a great layout with plenty of room to spread out in and sleep. There are great gathering places outside, also. The house is just about anything you need. Brett does a great job communicating and making sure all is well. The walk to the lake is a nice morning walk and close to the house.

Amazing VRBO in Lake City, MN
We were on our annual cousin trip & LOVED our stay in Lake City. The house was perfect. Very roomy & comfortable. There was absolutely nothing negative we could say about it. They thought of absolutely everything! We would highly recommend this house and would love to stay in another VRBO that Brett hosted!

Fabulous Venue....
Can't say enough about this special VRBO! 10 of us grew up together in Plainview and were looking to be close to our roots! Our connection to Lake City was an easy fit and finding the Garden Street Retreat was perfect! The amenities were endless......great space, comfy beds, lots of indoor, outdoor space and a great connection to the owner for questions ....etc. We loved it! Lake City has lots to offer. So for those looking to explore southeastern MN.......this is your place!!!

We had a great time at the Garden St. Retreat! It was the perfect location to explore Red Wing, Wabasha and the Wisco side of the river. The house is darling, very clean, modern and so well appointed. It's so welcoming and there is plenty of space! We really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend!

Annual Girl Trip
We loved this place! The house was great! Clean , neat and all the amenities you want. Lots of rooms to gather and relax, including outdoor spaces. Lake City is a beautiful area on lake Pepin. The host was very gracious and answered me right away when I had a question. We definitely plan to return, as it was one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at!

Sibling Weekend
This house is amazing! After over 10 years of renting VRBO homes for our annual Sibling Weekend, this house was #1. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the beds were very comfortable. We are a group of 6 so we had plenty of room at the table which was a problem with past rentals. We enjoyed the sunroom and outside space. Brett was very prompt when questions were asked and checked in with us periodically to ensure we had everything we needed. He has thought of so many details to make our stay enjoyable. There was even an EV charger for our vehicle!!!One suggestion to make the house even more handicapped accessible would be to add railings to at least one entry point to the house. We had a great stay.

Great BIG gem in Lake City!
My family and I immensely enjoyed our stay at Brett's place this past weekend! The location is fabulous and just steps away from the water and boat launch on Lake Pepin. It has LOTS of room and a great backyard... and is VERY clean! Brett was on the ball with communication and was an easy text message away. We'll definitely come again to this charming, mid-century modern home next time we are in the area!
