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.

Perfect for a girls weekend!
My girlfriends and I had a fantastic time at Lion Downe. We loved the unique design, stunning views, and the hot tub. The thoughtful gesture of providing wine, cider, coffee, and spices was a welcome addition! My friends couldn’t stop raving about how cool and unique your home is! Seeing photos of tulips blooming along the walkway has us eager to return in the spring or summer to enjoy the downstairs porch, warmer weather and the woods. Thank you again for opening up your amazing home to visitors. Our time here made my 40th birthday celebration extra special—thank you! We look forward to returning in the future!

Peaceful and scenic
This is our second time staying at the Lion Downe Cabin, and we hope to return for a third visit. The outdoor hot tub in winter is "the bomb." Wonderful to sit outside in the cool, crisp air, looking at the stars from a nice warm jetted tub. Everything worked correctly. Even though we were there in winter, the walkway is clear (sanded and salted). The cabin was warm and cozy. Comfortable beds. We saw several eagles, a few deer, and quite a few ice fishing tents on the lake. The cabin is about a 15 minute drive to the nearest restauarant (The Outpost), which was fast, friendly, efficient, and served wonderful food. The only challenge we encountered was some fog, but if you have gps or some decent google maps you can navigate through that. Will definitely return if given the opportunity.

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.
