About this property

Fantastic Large Home Right On Beautiful Lake Pepin!

5-bedroom 4-bath spacious home directly across Park Street from Lake Pepin, the beach, the park and the marina. Lots of room to spread out with your extended family; comfortably sleeps 16; relaxing open indoor and outdoor spaces; incredible views of the lake; right in the middle of all that the Lake City area has to offer - boating, fishing, skiing, golfing, hiking, biking, eagle-watching, shopping, restaurants, picnicking, or just lying on the beach.

At the end of the day, gather in the large living room with gas fireplace and Smart-TV, or around the table in the game area. Bring your own games, or enjoy the classics in our game cupboard. In the summer, gather out front to enjoy the quiet patio, and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the lake.

The dining table easily seats 16. The kitchen is stocked with the basics, including dishes and silverware to serve 20. There is a small wet bar for refreshments. And a gas grill on the back patio for outdoor cooking.

You will sleep in the wonderful comfort of Casper mattresses, with Minnesota's own My Pillow pillows and mattress toppers. UPSTAIRS: Master bedroom has a queen bed, a twin daybed and twin trundle, plus en suite bath and a fantastic porch with beautiful view of the lake, plus its own private laundry area. Second bedroom has one queen bed; third bedroom has two queen beds. Both have a beautiful view of the lake and share the hall bath. ON THE MAIN LEVEL: Fourth bedroom has two twin beds, and shares the main floor hall bath. Fifth bedroom has a queen bed, twin daybed and twin trundle, and its own en suite bath. There is a second larger laundry area on the main floor, and a linen cupboard with extra sheets and towels, including beach towels.

Recent upgrades include: high speed wireless internet, with boosters to make sure the entire house is covered; state-of-the-art reverse osmosis water filtration system for great drinking water; tankless water heater for endless on-demand hot water - no need to fight over who gets to shower first because the hot water never runs out!

PLEASE absolutely no pets and no smoking; no events or large gatherings, other than those of you staying at the house. PLEASE no more than 12 adults, 16 people total.

We have an annual weekend getaway and have stayed in many places. Lake City and the Chestnut House is our favorite and we'll be back for our third stay next March. This year we experienced the ice breaking up which brought quite a few eagles to see

Sibling reunion
My four siblings and I stayed at the Chestnut House for two nights in October. It is roomy, clean and comfortable. Everyone was able to have his/her own room. We especially enjoyed sitting around the large dining table looking out over the water. Although, we would have enjoyed a few cable tv stations. We will be back!!

Our group of 8 Senior citizens have traveled a lot together over many years but Lake City and this house have been our go-to place. We have stayed here multiple times over the years when we remember to get our reservation in quickly. Fills up fast. The accommodations are wonderful and the location is right on Lake Pepin, close to downtown Lake City. We have never been disappointed staying here.

Not worth the price but would stay there again if I could afford it
Location and enough bedrooms is the seller. Price and terms compared to other places we've stayed, were less than desirable. Yard and patio not kept up. If you parked in the garage your vehicle would reek when you left. A couple beds were horrible! Very nice person to deal with though!

Another great week at Chestnut House
This was the third time we had stayed at Chestnut House, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Great location, spacious, clean. Plenty of opportunities to enjoy beautiful Lake City. Would highly recommend renting here and from Liane. She is a fabulous hostess. Thank you again for a memorable week with our entire family.

This property is one of our favorites. The location is perfect for beach, park, downtown and marina. The house is well stocked for anything you would want to do. Games, books, kitchen ware, comfy beds and outdoor furniture. The 8 of us relaxed and enjoyed what lake pepin and lake city have to offer. We will be back!

Love the Chesnut House❤️
This was our 4th year we stayed here and it’s one of the cleanest, well equipped homes we have seen. Love the large table we eat all our meals together. A plus is the new park area across the street for the little ones.The Marina is so close to walk to. We rent a large pontoon for a day every year and a boat slip, everything is so convenient. We already booked for next year!!

Great house for family to enjoy
This house was perfect for our family and extended family to stay at. The hosts have made sure the house is clean, well maintained and stocked with essentials. It was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was impressively stocked with all the utensils, pans and misc items needed for the big meals we prepared. We loved the trundle beds for extra room for the littles to have some space. The huge dining room table meant we had enough room for dinner and games together. The front yard had a beautiful view of the lake. Great place to have some morning coffee! We loved the little park and splash pad across the street. That was a bonus to let loose some toddler energy.

Great for the family!
We stayed at this house with 16 family members. We all had a comfortable place to sleep, the neighborhood was beautiful, and we loved being right by the water. We are definitely planning to come stay again! The best part was the long dining room table where we all got to eat together as a family. The hosts were responsive and we had everything we needed and more.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Our family loves to vacation together. We gather from Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Montana and Texas every summer. A few years ago, we "discovered" that Lake City and Lake Pepin have something for everyone - all the outdoor fun we can handle, boat launch right in the middle of town, plus the park and the beach for us to make up our own fun and games. We feel so lucky to be able to hold on to a little piece of it.

We have outfitted the house with all the gear and conveniences that we like to have on our vacations. And we look forward to ideas from our visitors to make sure the lodging is as wonderful as the location.
