Great stay for Grumpy

Rented this place for weekend of Grumpy Old Man festival. Perfect location to walk to all events. House was comfortable. Check in/ check out easy. Owner was organized and communicated well. Lots of seating to accommodate our party. Only downfalls were limited hot water while showering and the blue bedroom was chilly compared to other rooms. Would definitely stay there again.

MN Family Reunion Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The house had everything we needed for our family to enjoy a beautiful weekend together. From board games, a spacious yard with a fire pit to a kitchen supplied with everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

A pleasant experience

This house is a beautiful, well-kept property. The host's thought of everything to make our stay delightful. The family has been through some rough months this year, and greatly needed this mini vacation. This property was a welcome time to relax.

Great house and great location! Very clean, blackout curtains on bedroom windows, and lots of hooks for bath towels -- they thought of everything. Check in and out was easy -- communication was great. Thank you!

Quaint old home

We enjoyed our stay for 8 of us. We would suggest that the one back bedroom get better HVAC as it was a bit too warm to stay in there. The outdoor furniture was too rusty to sit on without getting stains on your clothes. The rest of the house was great. Thank you for the use of it

Wonderful place to stay in a wonderful small town!

I couldn't recommend this house and location more strongly. The home is very well appointed with thoughtful consideration for the needs of those that would stay there. Also, the town has the National Eagle Center and so much more to recommend it. I loved being walking distance from the river. Biking, boating, antiquing, etc. It's well worth a trip for a family gathering, office retreat or even if it's just the two of you.

Cycling Lake Pepin Area

We had a group of 5 adults. This home is charming and lovely - a perfect location for getting outside and enjoying all Lake Pepin has to offer. We cycled about 30 miles per day and headed to Treasure Island Casino Saturday night for a Trampled by Turtles concert. The hosts are wonderfully accommodating. We plan to visit again in the spring!

Great stay!

My girlfriends and I stayed for two nights over St. Patrick's Day weekend. There were 8 if us and we all had sleeping space and plenty of room to hang out. Wabasha is a cute town with some nice bars and things to do. The house was very charming and had tons of character. Everything was clean. When I had questions for the owners, they were very responsive. They also supplied most of what you need for a weekend that many other VRBOs don't supply. We all enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.

Beautiful old house, easy walk to downtown

We came to town for the Grumpy Old Man Festival, sort of a late decision so happened upon this newly listed property as the only close accommodation. It couldn’t have been more perfect for our group. Plenty of space with everything we needed. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The property owners helped to make our stay enjoyable with extra touches such as a copy of the Grumpy Old Man Movie, an event schedule and a few snacks. Really liked this charming old house. Lots of space to sit around the table and play games, they even had a cabinet full of games available. Would stay again.

Family Get away

Our weekend stay here was amazing!! Communication ahead of time was perfect, and once we got there, we realized that the house was set up with everything we needed. They had all the right cooking needs, paper products, toilet paper, Kleenex, etc., lawn chairs, outside, fire pit, etc. Everything was stocked and ready to go. There were 13 of us, and everyone had a place to sleep, the beds were comfortable, directions were out on how to use everything, and our family had a great time. We specifically used the yard a lot to play yard games, and had an amazing fire. MJ is great to work with, and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for everything!

Wedding Weekend

Our three generational group of seven needed a place to stay for our son’s wedding. This beautiful home provided all the space and conveniences we needed. Thoughtful little touches here and there made this a welcoming home away from home for our weekend. The house was well appointed with all the basics and even so many extras that many rentals don’t provide. Paper goods, bathroom products, games, books, coffee, and a welcome treat, too! A real blessing was the hook in the entryway by the washer and dryer where I was able to hang a long formal dress to steam it. Communication with our host was very responsive. We wish we could have stayed longer and had time to explore the town which is the setting for the movie “Grumpy Old Men”. Thank you for leaving the DVD of that movie, and yes, we did watch it! Overall 10 out of 10. Would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by MJ

Host profile image
My husband, Dan, and I are a fun-loving, adventurous, almost retired couple who love our River Time. We water ski, swim, hike the sand dunes on one of the many islands, and spend time with family and friends on the boat or on a sandbar. In the winter we cross country ski and hike in the bluffs. We are excited to provide a place to stay for others to experience the many opportunities to enjoy the outdoor, as well as indoor adventures this beautiful area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house several years ago when our friends renovated it. Who knew we'd have the opportunity to buy it just a few years later! The house seems to go on forever with lots of character throughout. We stayed here with our entire family (12 of us) for a couple of nights around Christmas and everyone just loved the house and we had plenty of room. The location is great: within 2-3 blocks of most everything you'll want to do in Wabasha.

Speaking of Wabasha, what a lovely town! The natural beauty of the area is just stunning. The majestic Mississippi River flows by surrounded by beautiful bluffs and filled with abundant wildlife. The city of Wabasha itself is a treasure, as well, with a lot of history as a river town, local restaurants, bars and shops as well as the National Eagle Center. So don't hesitate to escape to Wabasha -- we're so glad we did and found a home here.
