Mike was so wonderful and amazing host. I stayed there for an over night trip with my kids relaxing and exploring some fun local places in the area. The view is wonderful, I could sit on the patio all day reading. The tiny house was clean and comfortable. The small little details was a bonus. Love the themes that was put into each home. Now that I can work remotely, will definitely be back.

The view was absolutely amazing!Mike is such a great host and just all around a nice,friendly guy.The train that runs below can be a bit loud but it didn't wake the kids which is great.The location is so amazing! It's located on a hill overlooking lake Pepin. The nature is so green and plush in July.The kitchen is very tiny. Come prepared if you're planning to cook: salt, pepper, oil, kitchen knives etcOverall an experience we'll remember forever 👍

Great spot. Mike is so friendly and is very passionate about the resort. He treats you like you are an old friend. It’s very pet friendly. The homes are close together but all feel very private.

The moment I seen the tiny themed cabins I was very intrigued so I called Mike directly talked with him for about an hour about the area and the tiny cabins. So I booked the love train. I also love the fact that the prices didn't inflate on the weekend like other resorts/ hotels. As soon as we arrived Mike made us feel like family, He showed us around and had a great conversation! His willingness to go above and beyond for his guests was the best part! He recommended herb and arrow restaurant, which did not disappoint. He also recommended some wineries and things to do. We felt valued, not just another number like at some hotels and other resorts we have stayed at. What I really loved when we arrived was meeting Mike, he is very personable. The cabins and the property was very well maintained! The view of the lake was spectacular. We seen fireflies...which I haven't seen since i was a child. We seen lots of wildlife such as eagles, foxes, deer and lots of birds. I highly recommend Bending River Cove!

What a great experience. I felt like it was a "throwback" (in a good way) to the 1970's. John was the host/owner and made the experience fun. My wife, who couldn't come on this trip, laughed at the name of my cabin....."The Love Train".The cabin was clean and had anything imaginable that I needed during my stay. If you want to be "happy", stay at this place.

We had a wonderful stay at Bending River Cove. The themed tiny homes were so enjoyable. Home away from home. Very clean with spectacular views of Lake Pepin. We stayed in The Birch Studio, and decided to spend a second night in No shoes, No shirt, No problem. Both uniquely decorated and comfortable. Mike was very welcoming and accommodating. Great customer service which is hard to find. Wabasha is near by, we enjoyed Slippery's and Reed's Landing which is even closer. Most of all we enjoyed relaxing and the beautiful sunsets. We definitely will be coming back soon!

Stayed 2 nights in the River Queen, very spacious and clean. We like trains and barges and got plenty of them. You are 10 minutes from Lake City and 5 Minutes from Wabasha. The view of the lake is breathtaking, we will be back!

Mike was WONDERFUL! Such a friendly and welcoming person! We enjoyed meeting him and appreciate all he did for our stay!! We were just driving through the area and came across the tiny cabins. We gave him a call and he got us in right away with our pup! We ended up changing our plans and decided to explore Wabesha and Pepin! We already can’t wait to come back. You can’t to go wrong with any cabin that you choose. Mike is unbelievably talented and each of the cabins have such a unique touch to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great secluded location. House was clean, had everything that we needed and the hosts were amazing. Mike has a great thing going here and you should really visit here if you have a chance. We went for our anniversary and Mike opened the house up early so that I could have flowers delivered. Gave us a personalized card saying congrats on the 10 year anniversary. Stopped by in the morning to introduce himself and gave history on each of the homes they have. Yes, there is a train that goes by. It doesn't last long and isn't a bother, at least not to us. Close to the wineries, Reads Brewery and a lot of other things to do. We will stay here again!

The rooms are excellent examples if the popular tiny house interest. There are 5 with varying offerings. The location features an excellent viewing of Lake Pepin. If you enjoy following trains, there is a track between you and the river. All rooms feature a grill, outdoor fire pit with wood, lighter fluid, lighter furnished. They can furnish rides to a popular river tubing site. If you want to lay back and shut down, this is your spot.

Katie and Tony were very nice. We went on a wine tour and they let us pick different winery or restaurant places to stop. Gave us lots of time. The hot water in the shower was almost non-existent but it was hot here this weekend anyways. House itself was very cute, little close to the others.

The Bohemian Rhapsody is the little house we stayed in and we were very pleased with it. The owner Mike visited us and personally made sure we had everything we needed. These small themed cabins are a great getaway.

Our stay was amazing! A perfect getaway for a weekend. There were a lot of things to do in the area and the owners were extremely friendly and accommodating! There are trains that come by periodically, but we grew accustomed to them quickly. 100% and would come back!

We came here for our 25th anniversary in June and have been back a second time already and plan to come again in the Fall! It is such a delightful getaway from the cities. We have seen all the houses and each one has it’s own personality. Whether you’re coming alone, as a couple, family or with friends there is a house that will suit. The area has so much to offer if you can pull yourself away from your house. From hiking, kayaking, tubing, shopping, wineries and restaurants, both on the MN and WI sides. We especially liked the wineries and spent many hours of a rainy day at Lark Toys. (Even if you don’t have young kids, there is a lot of exploring options for people of all ages.) Each day is capped off with the possibility of a beautiful sunset while enjoying a fire.

I heard about this place from my cousins and stayed here with my girlfriend and we had so much fun! The owner Mike is incredibly nice and welcoming along with Katie. Really beautiful place with really nice things to do around the area. I’d highly recommend staying here and would give it more stars if i could!

What an adorable place and Mike is awesome! The tiny house we stayed in the the most beautiful views. Our favorite part was enjoying coffee early in the morning watching the young bald eagles practicing flight. The only reason I gave 4 stars was due to the lack of the promised hot tub. We understand the reasoning behind it no longer being available, bit would have appreciated being informed before arriving for our stay. Otherwise this is the best little resort to stay at! Beautiful views, homes and access to all the best to River towns.

Friend and I stayed in the No Shoes, No Shirts, No Problem tiny house. Very cute! Host Sue was very hospitable. Met owner Mike, really nice guy. They had a nice bottle of wine for us, smores, firewood. View of Lake Pepin was beautiful. The only downside was the train horn, which the owners can't control.

My best friend and I have now stayed here 3 times in the last year and a half. We absolutely love these home's and have had so much fun in everyone we have stayed in. Mike has always been so wonderful to us and accommodating and the new caretakers during this stay are as well. This is a must stay place!!!

My husband and I stopped by on our way home from a anniversary weekend. We met the gentleman that built the tiny houses and he was very knowledgeable and showed us inside a couple of houses. The tiny houses are oh so cute and I can’t wait to go back and stay for a weekend. If we had known about these we would have stayed there instead. They have a great view and are very nice inside and out. I’ll post pictures when I go back. Hopefully soon.

We stayed in The Birch on Saturday, June 2. The trundle bed and bedding were amazingly comfortable. The owners have done an excellent job with decor and supplies. Very thick plush towels and nice toiletries.They had a welcome bottle of wine the day we arrived and an excellent suggestion for dinner. Thank you for your hospitality.
