40 Acre Wooded Retreat Overlooking Lake Pepin with Lakefront

"Lion Downe" cottage, the perfect get-away with all the extras (new large hot tub, free WIFI, satellite, firewood, etc.) , located in the heart of the Rush River Valley, along the scenic Mississippi corridor with brand new large hot tub and expanded deck with unparalleled views of Lake Pepin and the surrounding majestic bluffs.

Stunning log home, as featured in Log Home Living Magazine, is nestled in the bluffs, with breathtaking views of Lake Pepin from every room in the house, and from the large deck. The serenity and cozy feeling is accentuated from the surrounding 40 acres of private majestic hard wood forest. 660 foot of lake frontage, easily accessible from the lake (but not from cottage up in bluffs), with variable sandy beach depending on the season. Located 13 miles downriver of Red Wing, near the Wisconsin Villages of Maiden Rock, Stockholm and Pepin. Just 60 minutes from Minneapolis/St. Paul international airport.

Fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, bird watching and relaxation right out side your back door. Shopping, fine restaurants, and quaint small towns with antiques, arts, crafts, and frequent festivals all within a short, pleasant drive along the lake shore.

Another Lovely Stay
Our same foursome and two dogs choose to visit again as we did the previous January. The cottage is perfect for a close getaway from the Twin Cities and makes for a relaxing winter break to read by the fire, hang out, play games and share meals.

Great Cabin!
We enjoyed our stay at the Lion Downe Cottage! The views are amazing and the vibes inside the cottage are warm and cozy. The hosts were excellent and very responsive. It is essentially just one large room, so definitely bring your ear plugs if you're a light sleeper!

The general place was as stated ,beautiful over the bluffs . We rented cabin for over look and hot tub to enjoy a vacation . When it can to hot tub it was nothing more than tub hot water , jets didn't work at all , when you turned on jets water shot up in air one seat had jets . So at this time cabin was over price hot tub is junk . Looking for a refund !!!

Great place for a weekend
My college girlfriends and I meet up for a much needed reunion. The check-in process was easy and the cabin was clean. We enjoyed Maiden Rock Winery and Cidery and had lunch and did some shopping in Red Wing. The hot tub was a nice touch. Great place for a reunion or girls weekend.
