About the host
Your host
My late husband, Ric, and I moved to the Maiden Rock area in 2014. In 2017, we purchased the Masonic building (then housing a funeral home on the lower level) with the intention of creating a yoga studio, retail shop and upper level living space. The studio, Santosha Springs Yoga & Wellness, opened in 2019 and the retail space in the front was leased to The Nest in late 2020. Ric passed in May of 2020, 3 months after a cancer diagnosis. I decided to keep the building and finish the renovation of the loft apartment (my Covid project). With the help and expertise of many talented local folks and countless hours dedicated to restoring the space, Maiden Rock Loft was finally ready to rent in July 2023....nearly 2 1/2 years later. The Loft is a completion of the vision that my late husband and I had for this historic building in Maiden Rock.
Why they chose this property
Maiden Rock and the other small towns & villages along the Great River Road in the Lake Pepin area have a unique character, welcoming attitude and scenic views that immediately charm visitors to the area. Each town is pedestrian friendly and there are a multitude of unique shops & restaurants to enjoy. The art and music scene is also quite vibrant in this area. I love the way that the river bluffs surround Maiden Rock and it's proximity to Lake Pepin.
What makes this property unique
Maiden Rock Loft simply glows with historic charm and artistic character. When you walk up the staircase, it's as if you're transported back into the 1890's. The soaring tin ceiling, classic high windows and refinished original fir flooring underscore this feeling of craftsmanship and beauty from a previous era. Although the building is located on Hwy. 35, the walls have been re-insulated to provide sound proofing and a feeling of being 'above it all'. If you're looking for a unique and beautiful place to stay, along with a spectacular view of Lake Pepin, Maiden Rock Loft may just provide the 'perfect' weekend base for exploring the area.
