Charming Spacious Cottage, Steps from Lake Pepin & Downtown!

Enjoy this exceptionally spacious cottage - just steps from Lake Pepin and downtown Lake City with a view of Lake Pepin from your backyard. The location is a short walk from the shops and restaurants of downtown Lake City and 'River Walk', a 3 mile walking path along Lake Pepin. Enjoy the backyard with a fire pit for bonfires and maybe roasting marshmellows!

Nearby summer activities include golfing (6 area golf courses), boating, fishing, water skiing, and sailing. Frontenac State Park and Hok-si-la City Park offer hiking opportunities and the National Eagle Center is just a short drive.

Winter activities include cross country skiing, snowmobiling, Winterfest celebration, and downhill skiing nearby at Coffee Mill, Wabasha or Welch Village, Red Wing. There are many shopping, dining, and antiquing experiences available in Lake City as well as in nearby towns.
