A Memorable Place to Stay in the Great River Valley

The Dockside is a five-star vacation rental and event space located on the riverfront in the village of Pepin, Wisconsin, just 90 minutes southeast of the Twin Cities. It's the perfect spot for anyone visiting Pepin or the Great River Valley area, whether it's for a wedding, vacation, staycation, special event, or any other reason!

Our two units -- the A-Frame Cabin and the Marina Bungalow -- offer two equally comfortable but slightly different experiences: the A-Frame Cabin has an amazing balcony view of the Pepin Marina, lake, and river bluffs, and all the charm of a cedar-paneled A-frame. The Marina Bungalow sits right on the street level, just a stone's throw from the water, with a panoramic view of the lake, a large open floor plan with exposed beams, and a huge kitchen and dining area along with an outdoor hot tub. It's a brand-new remodel with impeccable mid-century modern styling, perfect for wedding photo shoots, entertaining, and more. Each unit can be rented on it's own, or the enntire property can be rented 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!

The drive along the Great River Road, with panoramic views of the Mississippi and Lake Pepin, is one of the most scenic in the Midwest. Pepin is a great place to cruise, fish, sail, golf, bicycle or just hang out for the day. Nearby attractions include Villa Bellezza winery, The Harbor View Cafe, Maiden Rock Cidery, The National Eagle Center, Buena Vista Park, and several parks and hiking trails. The Dockside is steps from the Pepin Marina, where you can charter a sailboat, swim at the public beach, or rent kayaks. Within short drives, the nearby towns of Stockholm, Maiden Rock, Nelson, Alma and Wabasha offer even more local shopping, food, and sightseeing.

Your host and the owner of The Dockside Peter Sieve, the guy writing this! Originally from Minneapolis, I fell in love with Pepin in 2018 and have grown to love this community. I'm a food writer and the publisher of Meal Magazine, as well as a touring lead guitar player with a few different artists such as Rogue Valley and Lissie. I've been hosting on Airbnb for 9 years, and it's always gratifying to meet new people, welcome my repeat guests back again, and make everyone feel like they're a VIP while they're in town.

I'm excited to host you in Pepin!
