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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.
