Lake Pepin Marina Bungalow - River Views, Hot Tub!

A bright, open marina bungalow with panoramic Lake Pepin views, a private hot tub overlooking the river, and one of the most walkable locations in Pepin. Just down the street from Harbor View Café and The Pickle Factory, and close to Villa Bellezza and Woods & Co., it’s an ideal space for wedding weekends, rehearsal dinners, photo-ready gatherings, and relaxed time together by the water.

Welcome to the Marina Bungalow at The Dockside — an open, light-filled waterfront home designed for gathering. With panoramic views of Lake Pepin, a generous kitchen–dining–bar layout, and space that flows easily from inside to out, it’s an ideal setting for shared meals, conversation, and unhurried time together.

The heart of the home is the large, flexible kitchen and dining area, which works especially well for wedding weekends — getting ready with friends, hosting casual rehearsal dinners, or simply having space for everyone to spread out and connect. The layout adapts easily for sit-down meals, buffet-style dinners, drinks at the bar, or slow mornings with coffee and light streaming in from the lake.

The bungalow is furnished with authentic midcentury furniture, fixtures, and lighting, giving the space a warm, timeless vibe. The natural light and clean lines also make it a favorite setting for photo shoots and getting-ready moments.
Outside, the space opens onto a large deck and private hot tub with sweeping river views, exclusive to this unit. It’s a favorite spot year-round — morning coffee with mist on the water, afternoon conversations, or evening soaks as the sun sets over Lake Pepin.

We’ve hosted gatherings of all kinds here — songwriting retreats, creative jam sessions for writers, chef-driven food getaways, and good old-fashioned family vacations. The space adapts easily to different rhythms and groups, whether that means focused creative time, shared meals, or simply being together in a beautiful setting by the water.

Perfect for:
- Wedding parties getting ready or gathering for rehearsal dinners
- Guests attending events at Villa Bellezza or Woods & Co.
- Groups who value shared space, great light, and flexible layouts
- Creatives, photographers, and design-forward travelers
- Guests who want a private hot tub with river views, just steps from town

Please note that the Marina Bungalow is one of two units at The Dockside -- the other is the A-Frame Cabin. Each unit can be rented on it`s own, or the entire property can be booked and a pass-through door can be unlocked to enjoy The Dockside as one massive, 4-bedroom, 4-bath home with two kitchens, two dining rooms, three living rooms/TVs, and a hot tub! Links for all listings are in my host profile.

Pepin is a small river town known for its waterfront beauty, Driftless vibes, sailing, destination weddings, and easy pace. This bungalow is in one of the most walkable locations in town — just down the street from Harbor View Café and The Pickle Factory, steps from the marina and riverfront paths, and a short drive to wedding venues like Villa Bellezza and Woods & Co.

Whether you’re here for a celebration or a reset, everything Pepin offers is close at hand — no driving required.
Please remove your shoes in the entryway! Absolutely no parties. Quiet hours begin at 10pm, and must be respected for the sake of any guests that may be staying in the A-Frame unit, and for our neighbors. No pets unless previously authorized by the host, and absolutely no smoking.

We`ve got super nice neighbors, so it`s really important to make sure they are not disturbed during your stay. This means: absolutely no excessive noise, and no parties. Please be quiet and respectful while here, and when entering/exiting the property or spending time in the yard or on the deck. Thanks!
