Property Description
"Lion Downe" cottage, the perfect get-away with all the extras (new large hot tub, free WIFI, satellite, firewood, etc.) , located in the heart of the Rush River Valley, along the scenic Mississippi corridor with brand new large hot tub and expanded deck with unparalleled views of Lake Pepin and the surrounding majestic bluffs.
Stunning log home, as featured in Log Home Living Magazine, is nestled in the bluffs, with breathtaking views of Lake Pepin from every room in the house, and from the large deck. The serenity and cozy feeling is accentuated from the surrounding 40 acres of private majestic hard wood forest. 660 foot of lake frontage, easily accessible from the lake (but not from cottage up in bluffs), with variable sandy beach depending on the season. Located 13 miles downriver of Red Wing, near the Wisconsin Villages of Maiden Rock, Stockholm and Pepin. Just 60 minutes from Minneapolis/St. Paul international airport.
Fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, bird watching and relaxation right out side your back door. Shopping, fine restaurants, and quaint small towns with antiques, arts, crafts, and frequent festivals all within a short, pleasant drive along the lake shore.

We were totally blown away by Lion Downe Cottage! The space was immaculate, the views were outstanding, it had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the great hot tub, grill, fire pit, and screened-in porch. Rob’s communication was helpful and prompt and we received some great tips for local swimming spots to enjoy the warm weather and explore this beautiful part of Wisconsin.Honestly this was one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever been in, and we absolutely want to be back!

Amazing bluff view
We all had an amazing time in such a beautiful location. Very secluded with a wonderful fire pit. Although we did not have a fire. We did enjoy the hot tub very much. The grill was awesome to use and the chairs on the deck were were terrific. We especially love the springed in court. The best part about this place was the fact that was the first time we could all sit around the table together and have a meal without taking turns. Even the door is cute! The owners were extremely responsive and we had a fabulous time! Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Excellent! Excellent. Excellent!

Wow, what a great cottage. It was so charming, one of a kind with beautiful views. Each room was an experience and we didn’t want to leave. The hot tub and deck were highlights. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely Mother's Day Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful time staying at this location! The property was clean, cozy, private, and comfortable. The hosts were easy to contact and quickly responded to questions. We enjoyed the beautiful views of Lake Pepin and the hot tub was a nice bonus. The hosts provided ear plugs and eye masks, which was appreciated, because the windows let in a lot of light, and sound travels easily between the open concept main level and upstairs. The basement bedroom had beautiful views as well, and there was a charming screened-in sitting room. The two lofted single beds would be great for adventurous school-aged children, but us adults were afraid of climbing the ladder haha. Fortunately, there were plenty of other beds available for us. We enjoyed our weekend and would stay here again!

Mom’s Weekend
This was our second time on a mom’s winter getaway to this location. We enjoyed the views, the fireplace, and the fully equipped kitchen. The very large kitchen table makes it accessible for foodies to gather and share gourmet recipes and meals. We love Lion Downe!

Girls Weekend Book Retreat!
The cottage was the perfect cozy spot! It was the perfect spot to host a girls weekend book retreat. The hosts were so accommodating and responsive!! The hot tub was perfect during these cold temps and the views were incredible. We loved the look of the cabin and the fire place. Highly recommend & hope to make it an annual tradition.
