Great location only a block away from Lake Pepin. We used the sauna numerous times, as well as the fire pit and grill. It was a relaxing stay while exploring Lake City, Red Wing, Wabasha and Pepin.
The property is located right in the heart of Lake City, next to Lake Pepin! It's easy to get to and has a nice set up with an open kitchen to living room concept which is great for a stay with friends or family! The sauna is nice and the backyard looked perfect for summer hangouts (we were there in January so couldn't enjoy that but I imagine it's nice!)
The Casita by the Lake was charming for our vacation in Lake City. Patty was quick to answer questions, check-in was seamless, and everything was clean and well-labeled for easy use. The lake decor really helped us feel like we got away from the big city for a much needed respite. The sauna and sauna hats were a hit! Thank you.
We had a great stay here. Cozy home with everything you need. Weather wasn't in our favor to enjoy the outside much, but it's in a great location a block from the water and close to downtown area.
Our family of 5 and two dogs had a wonderful trip to home on Lake Pepin. The home was well stocked with kitchen appliances and anything we could need to cook home cooked meals. We enjoyed the comfort of the high quality beds and linens. Walking to the lake was such a treat even though it was cold out. The sauna was amazing and we used it daily. We also truly enjoyed walking to Heidi’s cafe and the bowling alley. I can’t recommend this rental enough for anyone looking to be near the water and enjoy a nice relaxing environment.
This was our first time renting this beautiful little house and have already rented for next year. It’s real close to a bigger house we rent but the family has grown and we needed extra room. Worked out so well for parents with little ones. Great communication and so friendly, thanks for a great vacation.
Our stay at the Lake House was perfect! My siblings, Mom, and I met from all across the country to celebrate the life of two family members, and our host made sure our every need was accommodated. The house was as cute as can be, extra comfortable, and in the most gorgeous location. I was sad when our time in Lake City came to an end!
Our group had an amazing stay at the Lake House! The house is adorable, and had everything we needed and more. There is PLENTY to do in Lake City, and a lot is within walking distance. Our host,
Patty, was super responsive, and answered all our questions quickly. No complaints whatsoever! If I could give more than 5-stars I would!
Great location, easy walking distance to restaurants, grocery store and lake. Ample space for 6 adults. The house was very clean. Backyard fire pit and sauna were a great addition!
We loved every minute! Made some memories and will look forward to returning in the future. House was clean and festively decorated for the holiday which was much appreciated. Highly recommend this property!
Host gave great recommendations of things to do in town. The sauna and bath created a spa-like atmosphere. The decor was festive spirit lifting. We always felt comfortable and relaxed during our stay. I hope to stay again in the future.
Patty had a beautiful property, older home with ton of charm and personality. Well decorated, everything labeled- was so very nice. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone traveling to Lake City, MN - well done!!!
We were in town for a Wedding in Red Wing and this was a perfect location for our family to enjoy a bit of Lake Life while we were there. We had everything we needed!
The host has thought of everything that a person could need or want. This was a self care trip and the casita had all the pamper things I enjoy. Sauna, soaking tub, walks along the lake and a fire pit for the cool nights.
We loved this house for our family holiday. It was close to the water. Every detail of the entire stay was wonderful. I took so many pictures of the house because it was so lovely. I think anyone who stays here will be thrilled with the experience. The host even left us fresh flowers!
