Starshine Condo - 2 Minute Walk to the Beach!

Starshine Condo at Lumberyard Lofts is a tastefully-decorated one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen and bath, just a block up from Lake Pepin. Just right for 2 guests (or 3 with an airbed), this condo is a great place to relax after a fun-filled day exploring nearby wineries, restaurants, or the Pepin Marina and beach, both just down the block.

In addition to the lovely bedroom and living room, there's a full kitchen if you'd like to cook on site, including a full compliment of pots, pans, bakeware, dishes, silverware, etc. We do provide dish soap, basic spices, oil and a small selection of tea. Bring your own coffee supplies, food, beverages, sunblock and mosquito repellant. We also provide towels for use in the home, soap, shampoo and conditioner and beach towels for you to use during your stay. Airbed available for a small fee.

Starshine is a great place to stay for weddings, boating, touristing or working on the go with our provided high-speed wifi. There's plenty of street parking for vehicles and boats, too, as well as a new EV charger (14-50 plug) on the property for your use. We have additional vacation rentals in Pepin as well (including in the same building), in case you have a larger group and would like to book parallel accommodations.

Please reach out if you have any questions - we're here to help you have a wonderful visit in Pepin!

Starshine condo in Pepin

Great property with location near the waterfront & eateries. Definitely quiet on a Sunday evening, other than some noise from passing trains. Would definitely consider coming back if staying in Pepin again. It was a nice last night on our 4 day 1st anniversary trip

Great location

The place was plenty big and had everything you would need if you wanted to cook in. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Very clean and quiet.

Convenient to activities and restaurants

Super clean, and convenient location. Fall colors were spectacular up and down both sides of the lake and waterways. Some restaurants were closed M-T-W, but everything was in full swing for the weekend.

We were there for my sons wedding.

The bed was very soft- my husband has a bad back and that would be nice to know. You can hear most noise from the adjoining places and from people walking on the sidewalk.

Get away

I came to Pepin Wisconsin for some days of R/R. Outside of Lake Pepin, I knew nothing of Pepin. I was pleasantly surprised by the options available in this small villiage. The accomendations met my needs. The neighborhood was quiet and I was only 2 blocks from Lake Pepin.

Disappointed

I’m disabled and rented this property for the weekend. There was no ramp from street to property, then there is a rickety wooden step to get into the property. The lock numbers are very small and hard to read. The interior of the property was scummy and needed a coat of paint. The check in process is way over done. I talk with others at the bar who have stayed at the property and said the exact same thing! I received over 5 emails from them. The bathroom tube did not drain! All in all not a good value for over $200 a night. I would give this a 5 star rating at $100 dollars a night.

Quiet, clean & efficient.

Everything comfortable, with exception of mattress. Old, worn out & uncomfortable. The only reason we would not rent again for this price.

Liked: Communication
The furnishings looked like they all came from a second hand store, box springs and bed were on the floor, no frame. There was an old bench outside to sit on which was very dirty and cigarette butts littered the sidewalk. Dirty bathmats in the bathroom, not good at all!
