Pepin Marina Retreat: Cottage Apartment with Deck

We are right across from the Pepin Marina and Beach, and steps away from the iconic Harbor View Cafe! You can book sailing and pontoon rides on the lake. The Pickle Factory, a waterfront grill and bar, features live music, bingo and more. Up the hill is the River Time bar, which also features live music and small plates. We are one mile away from the Villa Belleza Winery. There's lots to see and do along all the nearby river towns!

This cottage-style apartment has a large, private flower-filled deck over-looking the Pepin Marina in the quaint village of Pepin, Wisconsin. We have fast wifi and desk if you need a remote work retreat. (This can be rented solo or in combination with the street-level loft apartment (Pepin Marina Retreat: Street Level Loft Apartment)

We are based in Minneapolis, but occasionally be working out of the back commercial office (separate entrance). When possible, we'd love to meet you in person! Normally, it will be self check-in. Message us any time and we have local property managers available as well.

There is a reserved parking spot in the back for the 2nd floor apartment which is closest to the upper entrance. There is also ample street parking out front. If you park in front, there are 18 steps up the right-side walk way up to the 2nd floor apartment.

Pepin is along the Great River Road, with bluffs on one side and Lake Pepin on the other. And yes, a train runs along the river! It is called the Driftless Area of SW Wisconsin as it escaped the flattening effects of glaciers during the last ice age! Quaint river towns such as Maiden Rock, Stockholm, Nelson and Alma are on either side of Pepin, about 5 miles apart from each other.

This is the best-equipped apartment I have ever stayed in. The kitchen has a well-stocked coffee bar with Kcups, teas, spices and sugar cubes. Freezer was filled with ice. Lots of dishes/cooking supplies/utensils. A cupboard in the bedroom has art supplies if you feel the urge to capture the view. They've lost one of the trees out front so the view is even better although the sun is more intense. There are lots of blankets and throws for sitting out on the deck stargazing. The apartment sits above a coffee/ice cream shop. A train track is across the street and they do run often but not that loud. and who can resist waving to engineers, counting cars and admiring the graffitti.

Had a wonderful time!

Very nice neighborhood and fun just to walk around and see all the houses and shops. Close to parks and lakes. Our hosts were very accommodating and got me a pan I needed for a dish I wanted to make. I would love to come back some time!

Friendly, Clean, and Quiet

We loved this spot. Check in was super easy and the kitchen was even stocked with essentials which we really appreciated. This place feels more like a home and less like a rental. We were nervous to stay without any reviews on VRBO but the host is a super host on Air BnB and couldn't have been friendlier. Plenty of street parking available.
