Photos and Description of the Lake City - Lake Pepin vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 11)

This home is unique and special in so many ways. It's located just 65 miles southeast of the Twin Cities and 35 miles northeast of Rochester, MN (home to the Mayo Clinic). Lake City is a lovely 'seaside-like' town on Minnesota's South Shore of Lake Pepin.

The address is: 523 Park Street, Lake City, MN 55041 (or 523 N. Washington Street for GPS.).

Its cozy, New England Coastal style is sure to please the most discerning guests. The spacious 4 bedroom or cozy 2 bedroom (Lock-Out Configuration) - Comfortably accommodates 2 to 11 people. The home was completely remodeled in early 2010 with all new ceilings, floors, walls, windows, doors, mechanicals, bathrooms and a modern kitchen (stainless steel appliances and solid granite counter tops).

The spacious living room, dining room (with custom made farm table) and kitchen are all open which creates a wonderful Great Room space for entertaining family & friends. Each room throughout the house has a wonderful view of the Lake. There is a 42' HDTV, entertainment center & fireplace. The living room features a large leather sofa, leather chair w/ottoman, game table and unbelievable views of Lake Pepin. The stone patio (w/pergola) in front of the house provides more than 300 sq. ft of luxurious outdoor space and has a beautiful built-in fire pit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs and a covered picnic table porch. The perfect vacation rental place to spend quality time discussing 'whatever' or just taking in the beautiful scenery.

About Sharon Hutdhinson

John was born in nearby Rochester and vacationed in Lake City with his parents and siblings in the 50s. Fond memories are etched in his memory from years of enjoying their family's boat house and small Thompson cruiser. John was an executive until his early retirement in 2003 when he and his wife purchased a second home in Lake City. They spent the next four years remodeling and redecorating their new summer home.

Sharon was born in Cleveland, OH and spent her middle & early adult years in Florida. She moved to MN in the mid 70s and worked in retail as a buyer (Dayton-Hudson) and as a decorator. They purchased a second property in Lake City in 2008 and made it into their first vacation rental. John & Sharon are enjoying their retirement years remodeling and decorating what they believe constitutes the perfect vacation rental.

Sharon Hutdhinson purchased this house in 2009
Why Sharon Hutdhinson chose Lake City - Lake Pepin

This particular property and its location is extremely unique. The views are some of the best views possible of Lake Pepin. Its proximity to the water and its central location to the Marina, City parks, the RiverWalk and the downtown is unmatched. Because so much of the Mississippi River is inaccessible due to the highways, railroads, parks and rough terrain, Lake City is blessed because of its access to the Lake. This particular property is one of just a few single family homes available for rent that are so close to the water and with an unobstructed view of Lake Pepin.

What makes this house unique

The house is ideal as a vacation rental as the views from every room are just hard to envision. The layout is perfect for entertaining and enjoying family and friends. There is room for one group or for several smaller groups to enjoy their time together simultaneously, but with privacy when desirable. The fireplace and the bonfire pit present wonderful opportunities for groups to share their stories with family, friends and to pass on folklore to the next generation.

Wonderful and cozy!

Our stay was wonderful. Sharon greeted us upon arrival and welcomed us into the home with a fire in the fireplace and all the kindness and gratuity one can find at an elite hotel or resort. She had everything labeled clearly and made sure we knew how everything worked and how to reach her if we needed anything. The home is beautiful with lovely decor, comfortable and cozy furniture, a long customized table which made it easy to share meals together and work on our crafts. The view is absolutely spectacular and we loved watching all the activity on the lake. From the barges that went by, windsurfers and smaller boats, to the eagles in the sky, we were truly in awe. AND to make the stay even more incredible, a local restaurant called The Railhouse Grill (just a few blocks away) has agreed to deliver to Sharon & John's rentals! The food is fabulous and we will go out of our way in the near future to try more of their delicious food! We have rented many homes through VRBO but have never been this impressed with a home and its owners. We plan to return year after year to make it our getaway choice every Spring! We highly recommend this rental!

Owner's Response: Thank you, Susan, for your wonderful and kind comments. It's so much fun to have such wonderful guests who appreciate all that Lake City has to offer. We're glad you enjoyed the restaurant's service and food as well as your accommodations. We look forward to your return.

I have had the opportunity to spend several stays at the Amazing Views of Lake Pepin; the first was a family vacation. My wife and I along with our two children as well as my Outlaws spent one of the greatest weeks of vacation we have had... Feelings of New England in Minnesota; the cottage had just recently been updated and was nothing like we thought it would be! Clean and charming with lots of warmth; it was out of a storybook with much character and a well deserved vacation.

I also spent time to take my wife back; just the two of us for our Anniversary a short time ago. The owners worked with me as this was a surprise stay for my wife, they went way over in helping create the best romantic getaway sense our Honeymoon. Flowers, Chocolates, her favorite bottle of wine along with a card were all waiting upon our entrance.. Priceless!!!! It was a Fall stay with cooler weather, but the fireplace kept us toasty and we had a fire on the patio as we enjoyed great conversation and talked about the next upcoming years... just the two of us. Awesome!!

If you are looking for a great family vacation or a break with romance, check this out and book it early as it goes quickly; you will not regret it.

This Fall, I am taking my wife back for our TEN year Anniversary -- Can't wait!

Eight former college friends enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this lovely property. The property owners were friendly, gracious and helpful. The house is an open floor plan, well decorated, and met our needs perfectly. A bald eagle was in a tree on the property each day! We would certatinly recommend this home!

Wonderful Girls Weekend in Lake City!

We had 8 women gather to celebrate friend's upcoming wedding. Everyone enjoyed their own bed, plenty of space to relax, and the amazing views of Lake Pepin. We loved using the kitchen - it had everything we needed. The owners have gone above and beyond to make the place comfortable, accessible and adorable. The first-level master suite and bathroom seemed like they would accomodate someone in a wheelchair. We even walked a few blocks into town and enjoyed the local bakery and antique shops. We mostly had a weekend-in, but would have had no problem finding ways to fill up our weekend with the local sights.

We'd love to come back and visit in the summer or fall. Thanks Sharon!!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING....Drove in from Michigan for a family wedding in Lake City, what a delight to stay in this house. Sharon if you ever decide to sell call us first. Everything just everything was AMAZING. Loved the heated mattress pad in the master suite. If fact we loved everything, even had time one night to watch movies that were provided. Needed to wrap some presents, tape and scissors were there. How AMAZING. The owner was awsome to work with. Thanks Sharon.
