Wow! What can I say that will do justice to this great getaway!? I'm a motorcyclist and have tent-camped on all of my long trips. I LOVE the idea of tent-camping, however, the older I get, the less I am excited about sleeping in a tent; no matter how nostalgic it is appears. WHAT I loved about this place was the fact that I felt like I was camping. Cooper and Kyle's place is LOVELY! Organic, hippy-like place. I felt not just comfortable, BUT right at home! I appreciated the free firewood and the most WONDERFUL outdoor retro-like kitchen. THE camper was perfect. I also enjoyed the animals and made quick friends with the free-range chickens. Lol... I WILL absolutely be visiting - however, make sure you make plans in advance! You won't be disappointed!

These tiny houses were delightful. We loved everything about it. Our place was stylish and functional. We enjoyed grilling every night and sitting at the campfire. Matt was a great host, very helpful. We look forward to checking all of the houses out!

Bending River Cove Tiny Houses was an overall great experience but there were things we would have liked to have known in advance.
The space between houses was closer than expected. It worked out for our group because we rented multiple houses next to one another, and did not have to worry about noise. However, if you have a strangers next to you, noise level could be a concern. The houses are RIGHT off the busy highway, with a train nestled right below the bluff. The train blew its horn multiple times in the middle of the night, so I wouldn't recommend this location for light sleepers/babies.
Unfortunately we had a miscommunication for how many houses we were renting. As a result, they over booked and we were short one tiny house. We were able to bunk up on couches, so it worked out, but it wasn't what we originally planned (especially with Covid).
We did have to ask for firewood a couple of times before receiving. Overall the house keepers were very polite, apologetic and accommodating.
I'd also mention the pictures aren't accurate. There is no hot tub, and there is no couch-like patio furniture. They do provide little charcoal grills and the charcoal.
It was a bummer there is no foot access to the river or lake, but we had a lovely time at a park/beach 20 minutes away. There are things to do in the area, just plan on driving. The views are amazing and the houses ended up working-out for our needs.

Bending River Cove Tiny house
The tiny house was really lovely! The hosts were very welcoming and the house was very well kept, and the view was stunning! Our daughter LOVED the tiny house. Our only complaint that we didn’t quite expect, despite knowing it was close to train tracks, was that we didn’t know a train would come through with its train horn blaring every 1-2 hours, even through the night. Our daughter was a heavy sleeper but we were not. So we would rate it as lovely... unless you are a light sleeper.

Overall a great experience! I always wanted to stay in a tiny house and this was the perfect opportunity. I was in the “Love Train“ and appreciated having all the creature comforts while still in an outdoor setting. The houses are all different, the owner built them with salvaged materials and he stopped by to welcome me. Great view of the lake from the deck, I spent a lot of time out there. Denay was helpful from a booking standpoint and the host Katie showed me around when I arrived. The only downside for me was the train horn at night when it passes because there is a car crossing nearby but a set of ear plugs would help. It was everything I needed for a few days. Highly recommended for a nice getaway, I’ll be back 😃

Truly a pleasure to stay on Denay's land along the Mississippi River. Just a heads up if you're there in the summertime, the insects along the river are plentiful. That said, it's part of the experience so enjoy it.

Amazing views, clean, comfortable and great design. Caretaker Katie was awesome. She even sent our dog Millie home with a new toy. Mike was very kind and thoughtful. We enjoyed learning a bit about the tiny homes and the love he puts into them. We will be back for sure!

SO cute, beautiful space, great views. Mike was so friendly and easy to get in touch with. Would recommend for a quiet getaway on the lake. Our only sadness was to see there is no jacuzzi as mentioned online, but everything else was great!

Absolutely loved this place! We'll definitely be back. We rented Bohemian Rhapsody and our family rented No shoes, no shirt. Both places we're well designed (showers were great for tall people, important), our bed was super comfortable and you couldn't hear the road or the people around you which was great.

I would 110% recommend staying at these tiny homes! They are so cute and home-y. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for our stay and immediately greeted us and showed us the ropes as soon as we pulled in. The views were also amazing!

Stayed in the "No Shoes, No Shirt" tiny home and loved it! We actually cooked in the tiny kitchen and it was a lot of fun, just wish there were a few more items (cutting board, sponge for dishes, chopping knife), but we made due! The hosts were very accommodating and willing to help. They even provided a fan in case the air conditioning didn't quite make it to the bedroom.
Great view of Lake Pepin. The train does go by with a loud horn, but we weren't bothered by it, especially since that is not in control of the owners.

We had a great time staying at staying at Bending River Cove! We enjoyed hiking in local state parks, pizza farm and the beautiful sunsets!
Only downside was the noise from the road.
Otherwise was a great little escape!

Mike was an excellent host! He gave us a tour of the other tiny homes and it was so fun to see the configurations and styles. He uses salvaged materials whenever possible; there is a lot of cool history in the tiny homes. The space was comfortable and convenient. I would have liked to have more privacy and peace and quiet (off a major busy road) but I would definitely go back.

Denay's place was delightful! The tiny home resort was so much fun and she is an attentive host while allowing you your own space as well ;) Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun "glamping" getaway!

Bending River Cove Tiny house
We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts are super friendly and have worked in thoughtful touches EVERYWHERE. From providing kindling and charcoal, to coffee and indoor fireplaces. Each tiny home is unique and has special perks, so you'll be treated to a great experience no matter which home you choose.
