Spacious Home In Lake City, MN With "Dramatic Views" Of Lake Pepin!
"Dramatic Views" is a nautical retreat in Lake City, MN with dramatic views of Lake Pepin. The main floor has a large living room with a wonderful bay window and window seat that offers amazing views of Lake Pepin, sail boats and paddle boats, eagles and the bluffs of Wisconsin. There is a queen leather sofa bed and lots of additional seating, plus a large flat screen TV and an electric fireplace. The living room can be closed off by the drift wood sliding barn door to convert the living room into a fifth bedroom. The large dining room is furnished with a custom made farmhouse table that easily seats 12. There is also a first floor bedroom with a comfortable king sized bed, along with a large tiled bathroom with an over-sized step in shower on the main floor.
The remodeled kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a unique Café space off of the kitchen with a pass thru counter between the Café and the kitchen. The Café features a counter height gathering table that seats 4. It's the perfect space for that morning cup of coffee for the early risers of the group, dining, games, cocktails, and of course, just hanging out. A large laundry room/pantry is just off of the kitchen and has great additional storage for all those vacation goodies that everyone brings.
Off of the Café towards the rear of the home is a second large living space or "family room" that features another flat screen TV, lots of seating and a beamed ceiling. The family room also has a dramatic view of Lake Pepin with a second wonderful bay window and window seat. Just off of the family room is a three season porch and off the other side of the family room is an attached garage.
Outside you'll find lots of outdoor seating, two fire pits, a weber gas grill and a patio table with umbrella. This arrangement offers the perfect outdoor setting to relax, relive the fun day and to enjoy family, friends and the dramatic view of Lake Pepin all over again!
The second floor has three additional nautical bedrooms. The first bedroom has a queen size bed, a flat screen TV and dramatic views of Lake Pepin and the beautiful bluffs across the lake. The second bedroom is a charming room with two twin beds tucked into their respective alcoves. The third bedroom or the "Crew Quarters" is a large room with a queen bed, two twin beds, a flat screen TV and a seating area. The upstairs also has a full bathroom with a tub/shower.
All linens are provided and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need. We know that you will find this home spacious, comfortable and the perfect venue to bring family and friends together!
The entire house and yard are available to you and your family during your stay! The driveway can accommodate 5 vehicles and there is ample parking on the side street.
Even though this looks like a new listing, "Dramatic Views" is an existing 5 star vacation rental through VRBO since 2014 and we are experienced hosts. We owned The Meier Inn, a 5 star Bed and Breakfast in Wisconsin for many years. Come and experience Lake City and see how beautiful the widest part of the Mississippi and the bluffs surrounding the area really are!!

This home was one of the nicest vacation homes I’ve rented!! The amenities were creative and top notch!! Very spacious with multiple areas to fit groups! The views and location were spectacular! Clean and well maintained. So comfortable. Our group loved this home! Hosts very accommodating and friendly. Would give even more stars if I could!
This house was perfect. After a long day at the course (The Jewel) is was so nice to come back and relax enjoy the views and get ready for another day of golf. It was so clean and plenty of room for 7 guys. Some of us even took the bikes for a ride into town. Thank again 5 stars.
The house was fabulous. So charming and comfortable. The location was unbeatable; looking over beautiful Lake Pepin in Lake City MN. Lots to do in the area. I highly recommend this VRBO! 10 out of 10!
It was wonderful!
Clean and had everything. The views were spectacular. Nice area.
Restaurants close to the house.
Steps were the only problem for us older halls.
This property is amazing. Beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend this spot for anyone visiting Lake City area. The details to make guests comfortable is beyond compare. Thank you!
A beautiful, spacious, comfortable place to stay. We spent a long weekend here with our daughters, their significant others and our young grandson. The location was perfect and the views of the lake so beautiful and relaxing.Our hosts provided everything we could possibly need both inside and out. They literally thought of everything! We had a lovely time and are looking forward to a return visit.
We have been gathering at thanksgiving for many years and Dramatic Views was a wonderful place to cook our complete dinner. This kitchen is very well stocked and the table was able to fit all of us and food. We also used the table for many rounds of games. Even at the end of November we enjoyed getting out and exploring the area. We have stayed there before and will consider it again.
The property was great. Clean. Plenty of room and places to sleep. We enjoyed our stay and as titled the views were dramatic…esp when a major storm blew through during the day and then late at night. Awesome to watch nature’s power and fury. The only item of note that was an issue, was that the upstairs toilet was too low
This VRBO is one f the nicest VRBO places that I have ever stayed. It was so clean and they had excellent notes all over telling us how things worked and they had literature about the restaurants and activities in the area. The view was amazing. We were made to feel so welcome. We were a group of college friends who go to a different VRBO every year and we all felt the same. The location was perfect - right across from Lake Pepin and a lot of walking trails. We also were in walking distance from restaurants and downtown. I would recommend it for adults or families with children.
fOur family of 7 from 2 to 91 just had an awesome vacation from Dramatic Views! The location is ideal and window views so lovely in this large comfortable coastal home! It was so clean and well-appointed with all our wants and needs! So pleased with so many places to hang out inside and out as well as close to beach and parks within walking distance to cafes as well! The hosts available always and Sandy so warm and pleasant! This worked well for the elderly and toddlers we look forward to another visit ....this would be an ideal trip for Autumn leaf color changes as bluffs and Frontenac State Park
This home was just perfect for the 7 cousins who get together annually. It was clean, spacious and so comfortable. The home was decorated in a nautical theme that was done so well! The lake view was amazing! The sunrise photo I took was just spectacular. We didn’t use the bikes but the river walk through Lake City was great. We ended our stay with a campfire. We all loved this home. We got to meet the hosts to tell them what fun we all had!! So nice!!
What a wonderful time our family had at this lovely home in Lake City! The hosts thought of everything to make our stay extra special! The whole home was immaculate and comfortable. Everything was labeled so we could quickly locate anything we needed. The kitchen was well-supplied with everything we needed for cooking. We loved all the gathering niches and had all the space we needed for visiting and for playing cards/games. The little girls liked playing in the porch area and outside on the large lawn. There were cute dishes for the kids to use and also little chairs in the porch they loved playing with. Everything was well-maintained and easy to use. We loved the gorgeous lake views and the accessibility to the lake walking paths and to the lake playground. We also were able to easily drive to the events on the Wisconsin side of the river that we had planned to attend in Maiden Rock, Pepin and Alma. This home is truly one of the best VRBO homes we have ever stayed at and we hope to return here again in the future!! Thank you for all you did to make our family vacation so delightful!!
This is a beautiful home and perfect for our high school friend's getaway weekend. The location right across from the lake gave wonderful views of the lake, sunrises and the changing trees. It is on the main highway through town but inside we didn't hear that much traffic. It was an easy in and out without having to remember which streets to go down - for 66-year-olds that was nice!
We loved the different sitting areas throughout the house. We decided not to try the bikes that were parked in the garage but that would have been a fun activity. The communication with the host was easy and all went smoothly with no issues arising. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lake City and surrounding area.
We have rented through VRBO quite often and this house was a wonderful option for us. The house had wonderful appointments and a big pet peave of mine was addressed admirably. I dislink not having enough hooks in the bathroom or the bedrooms to hang wet towels. This house was very well thought-out with numbered hooks and baskets for bathroom use. It was a fantastic idea. the house was surprisingly spacious and the hosts were extremely attentive. I would strongly recommend renting.
Perfect get away along the Mississippi /Lake Pepin
This was a perfect property for us and our family.
This trip was planned as a gift to my 80+ year old parents, especially dad, so we could go to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, 20 min down the road. Lake City is centrally located and about 20 minutes from the 2 bridges that cross the Mississippi, which made exploring surrounding areas easy.
This house was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Lots of space, yet cozy as well; awesome views of Lake Pepin; charming and thoughtfully layed out; great 1sr floor bath and bedroom for my aging parents who needed a first floor room and bathroom;
We were only a party of 6, 2 of which were teens who loved having their own bedrooms and privacy. However the property truly does hold 12, and is set up to hold twelve people in comfort, rather than as an afterthought.
We have stayed in many VRBOs and this at the top of our list. Lots of small details included labeled light switches, for all the different light fixtures around the house, extra folding tables for outside cookouts or puzzle building (which we enjoyed on the many rainy days we had), fans in several rooms to offset occasional road noise, fully stocked kitchen and baths, high quality furnishings, and comfortable couches. So many rental homes have cheaper furniture in them, but that is not the case here.
The hosts were wonderdul and always accessible via text for any questions - very helpful. I would stay here again!
Everything was great! Fully stocked, with anything you would need, or want! Very clean! The hosts were great; they responded to our question in a short amount of time! We would definitely go back!
This was the best I’ve never seen a Vrbo so clean, fresh and inviting. There were 10 ladies ,85 yrs old and we loved the whole house. It was well stocked and decorated so well. Thank you.
