Great weekend! Accommodations were perfect for the weekend. Noise machines in each room were a great surprise and much appreciated. We would love to come back.
We had a very nice stay at the Big River Inn! The unit looked just like the photos. The location is great; you can walk to numerous places to eat or grab a beer. There are museums, places to hike, and so much scenic beauty close by. The hosts were great with their communication. The only downside (as others have noted) is that you will hear trains here, although they seem quieter at night.
We stayed in Alma for my niece’s wedding. The apartment above the theater was perfect for my husband and I and our two grown sons. The 3 bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We did have issues with wasps and box elder bugs in the apartment but found some spray to kill them. Overall we had a very nice stay.
Quaint, spacious place to stay. Clean but could use a deep clean for cobwebs. No kitchen towels or dishrags to wash dishes (no dishwasher). Room Air conditioners were very loud and rackety sounding. Unfortunately, the train was too loud for sleeping, even with ac units on for one of us. Beautiful bluffs looking over the river from the winery in town. We had a lovely time.
This is a beautifully restored and decorated apartment above an old theater facing the Mississippi River. Three large bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and sweet outdoor space off of the main bedroom made this a great place to stay. The host was responsive and pleasant to work with communicating promptly. If you enjoy staying at places with history and charm, I would recommend a trip to Alma to stay at the Big River Inn!

About the host
Hosted by Matt and Amy Sapola
We first discovered Lake Pepin when we moved to Minnesota in 2009. After a few years of spending days on the lake, in 2013 we purchased a summer home in Pepin. We loved it so much, that we decided to make Pepin our full-time residence. We enjoy everything the Mississippi River valley has to offer. From its incredible scenic beauty and ample recreation to its wonderful people. We welcome you and hope you enjoy your stay.
Why they chose this property
Alma is a one-of-a-kind town on the western Wisconsin border. Alma's two streets stretch for seven gorgeous miles along the banks of the Mississippi River and are connected by “stairway streets” that climb the scenic river bluffs. The historic downtown offers antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants all within walking distance. Take in the breathtaking views from Buena Vista Park or enjoy a glass of wine atop the bluff at nearby Danzinger Winery.
