6. Rob,

We had a lovely time at your cabin, which was beautiful. My husband said it was like living inside a sculpture. We also enjoyed watching the three wild turkeys that roamed the grounds. The sky and lake were totally white the whole time we were there -- its own kind of beauty, but if you're still renting the cabin when both are blue, we may try to go down again for what I'm sure is a very different view from the house!

Thanks again and Happy New Year --

Diane (12/30/07)

Guest comments: 7. Just wanted to say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely home on Pepin. It was truly soothing to the soul. Thanks for your flexibility regarding dates. We appreciate it. Barb (5/27/08)

10. Dear Rob, We had a great stay in your beautiful home. Thank you. We’d love to come back!! Thanks for your hospitality. Best Regards, Mandy and Friends (7/13/08)

11. We had a great time at your beautiful cottage! If anyone of your future guests are looking for fun things to do, we went for a sailboat ride through 'Sail Pepin' which was great fun- Our 'captain,' Dave Sheridan recommends the starlight sail, but we had a great time during the day. I think that was the highlight of our activities. Thanks for letting us 'borrow' your home for a while! Mary D (8/04/08)

Guest comments: 12. Thank you so much for allowing me and my family to spend the weekend at your cabin on Lake Pepin. It was just beautiful…the whole weekend was perfect. Thank you, Angela (9/05/08)

13. Rob, We’ve just arrived home from a great weekend overlooking Lake Pepin! Your home is awesome. A couple of things - we grilled steaks on the grill last night and saw two beautiful deer looking up at us, as we enjoyed a cocktail before dinner! Then -- this morning as we ate breakfast, Lee reached up to bring down the little model of your home. With it came the magazine Log Cabin Living and were we thrilled to find the several page article featuring your home! Sue (9/14/08)

14. Dear Rob, We all enjoyed our stay. Your place is very beautiful, has great views and was very comfortable. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends. Thank you! Jim (10/01/08)

Quiet and Romantic Retreat

Review Submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
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.

Perfect Girls Weekend Getaway

Review Submitted: January 25, 2012 Date of Stay: January 2012
Thank you for a wonderful time, once again! This was our second stay at your cottage! Seven girl friends, laughter, crisp winter air, hot tub, fire place, great kitchen to cook in , wine and margaritas!! Love the new loft, additional shower and the new stainless steel appliances since last year!! The beds are super comfortable and each of us had our own bed. This is a great place for close friends and family to get away!! This place is amazing!! We will definitely be back for round three, next year!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind review! Although larger groups (up to 15) have enjoyed Lion Downe for years several of our repeat guests have commented on how happy they are with the expanded sleeping areas and new shower added this year. We can't wait to welcome you and your friends back to Lion Downe again next year!

Our Wedding

Review Submitted: January 4, 2012 Date of Stay: January 2011
We had our wedding at this beautiful cottage in January 2011. And it was everything we had imagined for our winter wedding. We live near here so it is extra special to us. The home was beautiful! We loved it and our guests did too. We would suggest this to all of our friends. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful memories. My Husband and I look forward to visiting again.

Great common area, Not So Great Sleeping Arrangements (for larger groups)

Review Submitted: January 3, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
Lion Downe cottage is a top-notch property- great views, wonderful architetural, woodsy, private vibe. Loved the luxury touches throughout. The land & cottage look like they could be cast in a movie; it's that picturesque.

Unfortunately, for a group of 12 adults it is not ideal. It's a bit tricky to discern sleeping arrangements from the listing, but important to understand there is only 1 true bedroom with walls and a door. This room has a king bed and a twin bed. The rest of the beds are lofted above the main livingroom/kitchen spaces and have no walls, which offers no privacy or noise prevention from the rest of the cabin. Some of the beds are tucked into corners with limited head room and/or tight quarters for any personal items like bags.

This property is ideal for a family or two with children (Or two couples!) who are fine sharing sleeping spaces and rise & sleep on the same schedule. The lofts and ladders would be extremely fun for kids to sleep in and play. It's comfy, cozy, close to the city and has lots of great ammentities.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words, we too believe it is that picturesque! Lion Downe is definitely enjoyed most by close families and friends that are comfortable with the cozy atmosphere and sleeping arrangements. Our extended family of 14 cherish sharing our time together by the grand stone fireplace in the great room. Bed time always reminds us a bit of The Waltons,(for those old enough to remember)...."good night John Boy, good night Mary Ellen, good night John....". ;)

Review Submitted: November 22, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
The Lion Downe Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Not only the home itself but the views are breathtaking. We enjoyed the hot tub - maybe too much lol! We enjoy sitting around the fire and catching up with each other. Robert and Heather were great with work with and we definitely will book again.
