Log Cabin next to the Mississippi River

This picturesque log cabin is nestled in the hills of the Mississippi River Bluffs. Perfect for a family getaway, a romantic weekend or can be used as a hunters paradise. Easy access to the river for a fun day of fishing. With plenty of local restaurants with amazing foods, just minutes away. You can tour the bluffs, go UTV riding, or go for a walk on the many walking trails along the Yellow River and Effigy Mounds. For the wine connoisseur, visit the area wineries in Waukon, Marquette, Lansing or Ferryville. This cabin features a large yard for parking and outdoor activities along with a picnic table. We are located on a county highway, just 1 mile away from town, which is where the public boat landing is. Just on the other side of the highway, are train tracks. The trains coming through are always blowing their horn, night and day, so something to be aware of! Some people love it, some hate it. The loft homes a queen sized bed and 2 double beds. Down stairs has a couch and a 2nd pull out couch with a reading space.

Great getaway

We wanted a quick, 3 night getaway that was very low key. This cabin was perfect for us! We enjoyed nearby hiking during the day and reading by the fireplace in the evening. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything needed for cooking. Would happily stay here again. It is as pictured.

Anniversary Trip

Our Anniversary trip with our two dogs was so relaxing and just what we were needing. With our trip falling just after Halloween, it was so fun sit in front of the fireplace in the cozy cabin and watch a scary movie! We were able to cook up a yummy dinner as well! The area is beautiful and close to everything! Thanks for the great stay!

Cute cozy cabin

This cabin was perfect for our 3 day R&R. So nice & cozy & the deck was nice to sit & enjoy the weather. Enjoyed the surrounding towns as to what they had to offer, may it be shopping, restaurants, music by the river & beauriful views! Thanks for letting us stay @ your comfortable little cabin!

Cozy cabin

Very nice cabin. Clean and well stocked. Pictures are spot on. The beds are comfortable and lots of pillows. Loved the decor and over all feel of the place. I would recommend to anyone to stay here. Con: very close to the highway and the train tracks. Did not bother me but just be aware. The trains at night were loud but I turned a fan on the second night and slept fine.

Great cabin but....

The cabin itself is super cute and had everything we could need. But "near the Mississippi River" is a very relative term and definitely does not mean "right next to/on." Not a huge deal for us...just a little disappointed no water view. If you love trains, this is a great spot!! Recommend doing the nearby Spook Cave boat tour...very unique experience unlike any typical boat tour we've ever done. Overall very relaxing stay. But be aware: the directions provided are not helpful. The cabin is better noted as being on Hwy X52.

Great property, Great hospitality

This cabin and property were a perfect choice for our fishing getaway. We were a little concerned about the available space for 4 large adults in the cabin as well as two boats and two trucks, but everything turned out great. Cabin ended up being perfect. Location to the boat ramp was really good and we were able to fit our boats and trucks at the location. We would have preferred a bit more space for parking, but the road wasnt very busy and it all worked out just fine. Cabin is stocked with all the essentials. Just bring ur luggage, food and drink. The renters provided supurb communication. Thank you for the stay.

Fall respite

Charming cabin nestled in the bluffs on the Great River road. The cabin is situated very close to the road and the railroad tracks are right across the toad. We were awakened overnight by the blasting horns of several trains. But otherwise the cabin is insulated well enough so that you don’t hear much of the road noise. All 3 beds are in one open space in the loft upstairs. Cleanliness, maintenance and communication with the owner were all exceptional.

Cozy Cabin

Stayed here with my little brother and 2 friends that we met online many years ago. The place was cozy for the 4 of us, but we had just enough room at the dinner table to play cards and eat. Living room was perfect for us to watch football and TV and play video games. Kitchen & grill was perfect for us. We made authentic ramen, tacos, steaks and grilled burgers and brats. Kitchen had plenty of pots & pans and silverware and plates for the 5 day trip. My only complaints are the train blaring thru every night multiple times and we could have used a nightlight out by the fire so we could see where we were walking. Other than that we all had a fantastic time. Thanks for letting us enjoy the cabin!
