About Rob Weinmann

I someday hope to retire at Lion Downe Cottage with my wonderful wife, Heather. In the mean time we both work in the Twin Cities and get down to visit as often as possible with our family.

Rob Weinmann purchased this cabin in 2001
Why Rob Weinmann chose Lake Pepin

We chose to purchase Lion Downe Cottage as it is very close to the Twin Cities, has wonderful quaint towns nearby, great wildlife, fantastic restaurants, countless festivals, and is still one of the best kept secrets for a vacation!

Quiet and Romantic Retreat

WOW-
My wife and I snuck out of town for a short weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We were hoping for a quiet setting where we could enjoy eachothers company, a bottle of wine and a cozy fire. The cabin provided everything were were looking for and much more. Matter of fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much we contacted the property owner and arranged to stay an additional night.
The cabin was stunning, it reminded me of a gingerbread house, strategically located on the ridge of the bluff top with a perfect view of the Mississippi River/Lake Pepin.
It was very clean and tastefully decorated. We easily found all of the items we needed for our stay and took advantage of a few of the extras we stumbled across like the sound system on the main floor. The large stone fireplace became the focal point of our stay. I like the fact that it was easy to start and there was plenty of dry wood within close reach.
The spring leafless trees provided a panoramic view of water from nearly every window. We took advantage of the warm weather and walked the upper property strolling through the heavily wooded lot, taking in nature at its best. The long driveway and lightly traveled access road were great for taking a walk any time of day- the views of the Rush River Valley were specatular. We caught sight of a few eagles as they made their way around the river valley, soaring in the sky and even landing in a tree very close to the cabin, it was quite the spectacle.
I would recommend this property for a romantic get away, a girls weekend or a guys weekend. There are many great golf courses in the area, fishing, boating or simply sharing time together.
Thanks Rob for sharing this wonderful property, we'll definitely be coming back.

Getaway with Friends

  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
My husband, a Red Wing native, and I brought a group of old friends from NC to introduce them to the Red Wing/ Lake Pepin area. Lion Downe Cottage provided the perfect place for our "Big Chill on the River". The cottage itself is charming, beautifully decorated, with every possible amenity thoughtfully provided right down to binoculars. Loved the wine, chocolate, and Maiden Rock apple ale which greeted us on our arrival. We enjoyed preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen, the beds were all super-comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everybody to spread out for some alone time. Views from the deck are spectacular. We all were thrilled with the eagle fly-bys and hope everybody spots the dead tree on the causeway down at the lake. We counted 6 at one time in that tree! Watching the weather roll in from our aerie on the bluff kept us mesmerized. Activities abounded. Our guys caught plenty of brook and brown trout at Pine Creek. The runners and walkers among us found lovely trails. Red Wing, Stockholm, and Pepin gave us great opportunities for sight-seeing, dining, and shopping. I was most impressed that Rob and Heather really do welcome guests into their home. Before we left, we felt like members of the family. I only wish we lived closer so we could take advantage of weekend getaways at Lion Downe. As it is, we will never forget our stay and hope to return. Many thanks!!

I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage for a retreat away from home but close to the cities. The place was very comfortable and accommodating for our large group. It provided all the comforts from home in addition to the beautiful views of Lake Pepin. The owners were very receptive to our few suggestions and the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely visit again.

Lion Downe was the perfect place for our annual sisters getaway trip. The cottage is absolutely charming; the view of Lake Pepin/Mississippi River is wonderful. Rob and Heather have thought of everything and we appreciated the personal touches and warm welcome. Loved to watch the deer in the yard and eagles overhead. And the hot tub on the deck was so relaxing at the end of the day! A trip to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha is recommended! We hope to return to Lion Downe next year!

Heavy snow from the recent freak May snowstorm that downed trees and resulted in widespread power outages including the Maiden Rock area… also knocked out power to Lion Downe the day prior to our expected arrival. The owners notified us immediately when they heard the news and kept us posted. The morning of our arrival day, they called with the good news that power had been restored. :-) By the time we arrived for check-in just a few hours later, the driveway had been plowed, the walkway cleared and the cottage was warm and ready for our arrival as if nothing had happened! And in spite of the odds against something like that ever happening again, the owners immediately went out and purchased a full home automatic propane generator for the cottage so the situation could never be repeated….amazing!
