We had a great weekend!
Very impressed with the furnishings, provided cooking and food service supplies. We found EVERYTHING we need and more to host our weekend! All of our guests raved about the venue and their rooms.

Our growing family stayed here for Christmas, as our home is just not big enough! The private spaces, the apartments, the large Dining table, fridge space, great room and bar were amazing. Trains were loud, but turned into background noise. The kids Loved watching them out the windows. We hope it works out that we can stay again!!
Thank you!

Had the most spectacular time at Maiden Rock Retreat celebrating my 50th birthday. The space was immaculately clean with beautiful views of Lake Pepin. We had 15-20 people in and out over the weekend and there was more than enough room for everyone. The suites provided peaceful privacy for anyone needing a break from the main party. Deb was a gracious host who patiently helped us get the kegerator and music flowing.
Can’t wait to come back!

We had a big group staying in Maiden Rock and this place was perfect. It was beautiful, not to mention perfectly clean and well-stocked with everything you might need. Deb was very responsive throughout our entire stay. I would highly recommend it!

Maiden Rock Retreat was a perfect spot for our annual college group golf weekend.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless and easily accomodated our group of 8.
The 2 kitchens were stocked with all of the pots / pans / dishware / glassware needed and can easily accomodate larger groups and events.
The spectacular 2 story bar was a great gathering spot and provided wonderful views of the area bluffs and lake!
Note that the trains that run outside the building can be loud however we did not have an issue with them. 2 bar / restaurants within walking distance is also nice.
Deb is a very responsive host and was able to accomodate our different arrival times. Highly recommended!

The photos do not do this unique property justice! It is HUGE! We were a group of 15 and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Not that we needed it, because we gathered mostly around the beautiful bar!
I've never stayed in any property that was so well stocked. Anything you could think of, it had!
It was spotlessly clean and had quirky and cute decor. The poker table and pool table for big hits too! The ice machine was such a luxury! The feedback I received from the group was that all the beds were comfortable. The couches in the living room were very comfortable to sleep on too!
As mentioned in the listing, the train tracks are right by the property. You still hear the trains and they go all day and night. They are loud, but they go by pretty quickly. If you're a light sleeper, you will definitely want to bring ear plugs. I wouldn't let that deter you from staying at this great property though!
Also, the checkout/cleaning instructions were a breeze! Some places, it seems like they expect you to clean everything before you leave. Not here! It was a breeze!
The communication with Deb was great, but we really didn't need to reach out to her during the trip because the place had everything and her little tour when we arrived covered any questions we might have had.
We loved, loved, loved this place and would stay here again!

The Maiden Rock Retreat is truly that. We had 9 people and there were separate beds for everyone. The place is huge and there was plenty of room for our socializing. Great accommodations and the property manager was delightful. We took the time to explore the local towns along the river and even though the building is right next to the RR tracks, we made a game of it when the train went by. Thanks MRR!

This property was so much fun and they had everything we didn't know we needed! There was an abundance of room for our group of 11. Thank you so much for a great New Year's Celebration! ...and a great New Year's Dinner at Six Strings just a half a block away!

Highly recommend booking this property. It was perfect for our rehearsal dinner and a wedding party sleepover in the apartments. Deb was super helpful in booking, communication, tour and setting up for us!

Initially we had rented this for 20ish of us coming in for a wedding at a vineyard. Little by little the majority of them cancelled. We were still excited to stay in the redone Creamery. It did not disappoint. The only thing I would suggest was that perhaps a door could be closed between the owners living quarters to the kitchen and the overlook area to the bar room. Felt a little uncomfortable when I was in my jammies making coffee. Otherwise we all loved it and would stay again even with a little lack of privacy. (they have is a closed door, but an entrance into the kitchen remains open to their apartment- same with the bar area)

The listing is accurate for what you get… but it definitely doesn’t do it justice! Deb’s space is way more than what you see. It is a beautiful home with plenty of space for whatever you may need. We used it as a space to get together as 16 people to celebrate the end of summer. With a big group, it’s always hard to find a place for us. However, Maiden Rock comfortably fit us all! The kitchen and dining area allowed us to have family-style meals, the living room/game room area gave us the space to play games, and there was plenty of refrigerator space for all of our food and drinks. I highly recommend picking up after yourselves as much as you can because it is a big space, so you don’t want to save it for your last day/check-out. Deb was amazing with communication from the minute we booked it, to meeting us for a walkthrough, until we checked out. I will say the train does run very often and it is pretty loud. However, we got used to it and no one complained about it. This was a perfect weekend getaway for all of us. I highly recommend you book this place ASAP - you definitely won’t regret it!!!

I was in town with my adult children for a wedding. We definitely under utilized the property…Deb (the hostess) has everything you could want! My adult children (30-35 ages) wanted to stay longer! Such a unique place to stay that gives everyone very large gathering space but also spaces and rooms/suites to get away. So perfect…only draw back are the trains that run close to the property while sleeping. I really think it was only the upstairs bedroom that impacted. Still had a great time!

Great family vacation
The owner Deb was very responsive to any questions or issues we had, including when we had a toy stuck in the pool table! After we left, she found two toys we had left behind and mailed them to us. The building is huge and is a great choice for getting away and relaxing. The owner provides plenty of paper towels, ziplock bags, foil, etc. The trains are very close and loud but the kids and adults enjoyed “counting the cars.”

Great place to stay for bachelorette party!
We stayed here for my friends bachelorette party and it was the perfect place! Everything you need is provided for you - no need to worry about cooler or fridge space at all either. Deb responded very quickly whenever we had a question about anything. Highly recommend!

We celebrated our friends engagement and wedding with a weekend with close friends and family. It’s so nice to have a place where all of us could have some space and the bar was awesome :) thank you for everything!

Expectations Exceeded!
We have stayed at a lot of vacation rental properties across the country and this was one of the best and it is right in our backyard! We recently sold our home and needed a place for the holidays for our family celebration. Despite all the activities to do in the area, our family of 10 did not want to leave the property. The game tables, electronics, the bar, televisions, sound system, strong wi-fi connection, dining rooms and all the little spaces for those needing to work checked every box. The property photos do not do justice! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay and have a family experience beyond everyone's expectations.

Amazing NYE Stay!
We had an absolutely amazing time spending NYE at Deb’s VRBO! Deb was a wonderful host, quickly answered any questions I had prior to the trip, and made our stay at her rental so enjoyable. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and even better in person. It was a great place for our group of friends to celebrate the new year.

Better than expected
Our extended family stayed from Friday through Sunday for a nearby wedding on Sunday. Lots of space to spread out and a fantastic place for dinner and drinks with the bride and groom's families the day before the ceremony. So comfortable and beautiful.

Jaw Dropping
This space is amazing. Around every turn there is another nook of couches, there is a magnificent dinning hall, and stunning views! All this coupled with cleanliness and attentive owners makes for a perfect stay. 10/10.

Everything was great
The pictures of this place really does not do it justice. It is so spacious, clean and nice! The windows and the views are amazing. The host had everything you could think of when renting a property. Check out was so easy as well. I was concerned because there was really not a grassy area to play games outside, but there is a little cemented area we took advantage of. Overall, great experience.

Excellent place to stay.
We would recommend this place to everyone. The train is close but it doesn’t really bother when you are inside. We did have a 18month old and it was hard to let him be outside with the limited outdoor space. The house was equipped with EVERYTHING! We had a great time. Thanks Deb!!!

This place was amazing! My friends and I had a wonderful weekend here, and we loved the space. The bar, basketball court, industrial kitchen, and cute town nearby were some highlights! Deb was a very attentive host as well.

Family reunion & wedding
We were in town for my son's wedding. Deb made our stay very special with many extra touches. All three generations of our family had an amazing time at the creamery. Great place for a special event or family reunion.

Awesome!
It was a family girls' weekend (3 generations). We were awed by how clean and large the place was. There was plenty of space for us to play games, dance and act stupid. Cannot say enough. We are already planning for next year.

A Phenomenal Experience
Coming off of a very hard year (Covid), I wanted to pull my adult children and grandchildren together to reinforce the value and power that "family" provides. There were important matters to share from assorted members ( a recent new house purchase, a work promotion, bonuses) and sharing such great news deserved a great venue. The size of the facility is enormous. When we wanted our group of 15 together, there was always room in the bar area, or the ability to all sit at one table during meals (no more kiddie tables). There were also so many optional seating and gathering areas to allow groups to break off and break away for private conversations or the necessary phone messaging. It was something that I thought might be a once in a lifetime event, but now we are all talking about making this a regular go-to spot for future reunions and gatherings. The pictures do not do the creamery justice. This is an amazing venue, the host (Deb) was so kind and made sure we were well taken care of. This is a hidden gem, don't put off discovering it in your own way.

Amazing, Unique Space!
My group of seven had an awesome three night trip at this property in Maiden Rock (note it could accommodate many more than seven). The space is so unique it's really hard to describe, but be assured it is beautiful and sprawling. We spent most of our time in the main home but also used the two apartments attached; everyone felt like they had plenty of space to spread out. The property overlooks the beautiful Mississippi River, and since we visited in October we were treated to peak fall colors. I really appreciated the unique features like a sound system, pool table and foosball, huge windows, and several living areas to hang out in. I also highly recommend checking out the shops on the same block as this property, as well as the beautiful hiking in the area and the Maiden Rock Winery. I should also mention we used this space as our elopement venue. Honestly there were several spots that would have worked for a small wedding, but we chose the side yard which we decorated with flowers and an arch; the owner was very gracious with us and the Wi-Fi connection was strong enough to Zoom in our family who couldn’t make it. We all definitely recommend his place and hope to come back some day!
