Billy’s Hideout
From fishing and hiking to fireside evenings, this is where memories take root.
Your stay at Billy’s Hideout isn’t just a getaway — it’s your basecamp for discovery.
From sunrise paddles on Lake Pepin to lazy afternoon bike rides through the rolling hills of Wisconsin’s bluff country, the region offers something for every adventurer.

This was a great place to stay. It felt isolated, yet was very close to both Stockholm and Pepin to grab coffee or bum around. We did quite a bit of wandering from Winona to Red Wing, etc and this was perfectly situated between them all. Everything we needed was supplied. The water pressure in the shower was great. Having a washer/dryer to wash our swimsuits was a plus. I appreciated the host having white noise machines in the bedrooms in case the train noise was bothersome. (The train noise was NOT bothersome at all, by the way. But I did appreciate the heads up about it.) The temp of the cabin was very comfortable and adjustable. The fireplace provided some fun ambiance. Check-in was easy. Check-out cleanup instructions were low key with very reasonable cleanup requests. Would definitely stay here again… thanks for a fun weekend!

At the Heart of the Hideout
Some people remind us that kindness is a kind of strength. Billy was one of those souls—steady, humble, and full of quiet courage. He believed in hard work, in the goodness of people, and in taking time to breathe in the beauty around him.
Billy’s Hideout reflects that same spirit. It’s a place to slow down, listen to the wind through the trees, and remember what really matters—faith, friendship, and the joy of simple things.
Here by Lake Pepin, where the trains roll and the water shimmers, travelers find a meeting point between doing and being—between the world of work and the peace of rest. Billy would have liked that.
May every guest leave here a little more grounded, a little more hopeful, and a little more ready to believe in the quiet power of kindness.
