About this property

"Amazing Views" in Lake City, MN provides Coastal Charm!!

Amazing Views is Lake City's "Premiere" Vacation Rental! From its perfect location, to the absolutely amazing views and the lake cottage feel, you will love this home! Enjoy Adirondack chairs under the pergola in the summer and cuddle up by the rustic, red brick gas fireplace in the winter. A perfect home for every season. Just a block away from Ohuta Beach and the Marina.

This home is unique and special in so many ways. It is 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.

Its cozy, New England Coastal style is sure to please the most discerning guests. It's a spacious 4 bedroom home that comfortably accommodates 2 to 10 people. The home has been completely remodeled 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 house 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" smart TV that sits on the mantle of a two sided red brick fireplace. The living room features comfortable furnishings, a game table and those unbelievable views of Lake Pepin. The stone patio (with pergola) in front of the house provides more than 300 sq. ft of luxurious outdoor space and has a fire pit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs and a covered picnic table porch. The perfect place to spend quality time together or just take in the beautiful scenery.

The house - (Sleeps up to 10) - 1800 square feet and has four bedrooms & two baths. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed, private sitting area with a second TV & that red brick fireplace. This room has beautiful windows that offer an absolutely breathtaking view of Lake Pepin and Maiden Rock. The second bedroom on the main floor is also very large and has two queen size beds. There are two bedrooms on the second level along with a second full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen size bed with those amazing views of Lake Pepin in every direction you look. The other upstairs bedroom has 2 comfy twin beds that kids and kids at heart will love!

The kitchen is complete in every respect and features stainless steel appliances and solid granite counter tops. The kitchen counter has a peninsula that is perfect for gathering around; sitting four for meals or serving guests. The dining room features a large table that can seat 10 very comfortably.

Amazing Views is the perfect place for family or friends to get away to. There is lots of open space, yet privacy for those who choose to go to bed early or sleep-in.

Holiday home base

While visiting family in the area we were able to have a well appointed home base to come and go as needed. The home was decorated for the holidays so that was a bonus. Great place to stay.

Best Place Yet!

What a wonderful place to stay and what wonderful hosts too! The house is impeccable and has literally everything that you might need during your stay plus it is squeaky clean and extremely comfortable. Then there is the view of lake Pepin and the sailboats from several rooms inside and also the porch and deck out front! Very nice indeed. You'll be hard-pressed to ever find a better place to stage your vacation or get-a-way.

The Hiking Hotties

It was a perfect stay. The house has so many amenities like 2 refrigerators, extra kitchen shelves etc. Best part was watching 2 eagles fly in and out of the tree across the street. Town was very friendly and good hikes in the area.

Amazing views at Amazing Views

We were extremely pleased with our stay. A fabulous home with a great view of Lake Pepin. I spent several hours each day enjoying the eagles that used the tree out front for roosting and fishing excursions. Also enjoyed the bike/walking trail right out the front door. A++

Eagles every day

The house is beautiful and the hosts have gone above and beyond to anticipate your every need. The views are “amazing “ and that is no exaggeration. Every morning we walked directly across the street to stand beneath a giant cottonwood and gazed up at the bald eagles perched above. Amazing!

Amazing view vrbo really is amazing!

Stayed for 3 nights with elderly Mother and 6 siblings. We had adequate space. The house did have Great Lake views and was exactly as depicted in pictures. It also was very clean and had everything that you would need. The weather was beautiful so we really enjoyed the outdoor furniture, grill and fire pit. We even had 3 bald eagles each day in the tree right across road we enjoyed watching. The only suggestion I have would be to have downstairs bathroom be a shower only so it would be easier for elderly guests

Beautiful Home and Location

We have stayed in Lake City many times as it is one of our favorite places to visit and relax but this by far is our favorite place to stay. The house is beautiful and the location couldn't be better, not to mention the hosts are so gracious. The little extras like the yard games and bikes were an added bonus. Thank you Sandy and Eric for making our vacation so relaxing!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy and Eric Meier

Host profile image
Hi! We are Sandy and Eric Meier and we moved to beautiful Lake City, MN in 2018 to enjoy a slower pace of life. We had a 5 star Bed and Breakfast in Wisconsin called The Meier Inn and a grass fed beef farm. We have also "flipped" 11 homes in the previous 20 years. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to purchase "Dramatic Views" an existing vacation rental from friends of ours. This beautiful home has been a 5 star vacation rental on another booking site for a number of years. We are looking forward to maintaining that same level of quality!
We love to travel, enjoy great food, cook, bake, garden, spend time with our children and grandchildren and spend time boating and fishing on Lake Pepin. We volunteer in our community and have joined a number of organizations. We love our little town and know that you will too!!

Why they chose this property

Amazing Views is a comfortable, cottage feeling home with the most amazing views of Lake Pepin and the bluffs of Wisconsin that you will find anywhere! Bring your family, friends, fishing buddies, golf group or quilting club to enjoy this home and Lake City itself! Lake City has the largest sailboat marina on the Mississippi and has the only working lighthouse on the Mississippi! Lake Pepin is the widest body of water on the Mississippi and has over 80 species of fish just waiting for you to catch! Did you know that pelicans visit Lake City every spring and fall during their migration? There are 4 golf courses in the area, ski hills nearby, swimming beaches right down the street, great restaurants, shops and beautiful churches. Lake City offers small town charm and is a safe and friendly community! The neighboring towns of Red Wing, MN and Wabasha, MN offer more options of restaurants and stores. Lake City is only 45 minutes from Rochester, MN and a little over an hour away from the Mall of America. There is so much to see and do in Lake City! We hope to meet you soon!!
