About this property

Enjoy the Mississippi 5 minutes from Stone Bluff Cabin! Fishing & Bird Watching!

  • Escape to serenity at our enchanting lake cabin, perfectly situated on the shores of picturesque Lake Sabula. This charming retreat invites you to unwind and experience the beauty of nature, with endless possibilities for adventure and relaxation. Spend your days kayaking on Lake Sabula, hiking through the stunning landscapes of Mississippi Palisades State Park, or exploring the unique wonders of Maquoketa Caves State Park. Take a short drive to historic Galena for a day of shopping, antiquing, or savoring local restaurants. Inside the cabin, cozy up by the wood stove in the great room, enjoy meals in the modern kitchen and dining space, or gather in the living room for movie nights. The spacious loft and deck offer ample opportunities to relax and take in the views. After a day of exploring, unwind on the covered porch, stone patio, or gather 'round the firepit as the occasional train rolls by. adding to the cabin's rustic charm.

    The property is located on a private bluff with one lane gravel road that is pictured in the listing photographs. The road is bumpy and some areas of steep grade.

    Although an all wheel drive vehicle is great it is not necessary to access the property.

Beautiful home right on the lake that’s away tucked into the forest. Very secluded which is what me and my party wanted. Dirt road access that felt like an adventure each time we came and went. Surrounded by nature, the mornings and nights always had some creature buzzing and singing which was very peaceful to hear. There are train tracks nearby, and you can hear the trains passing, but it’s never too noisy. The mattress in the bedroom downstairs is very comfortable and I slept so soundly sharing with a friend. Beds upstairs also were reportedly very comfy. We all loved the pillows. The host did set up an air mattress as a fourth bed in case. Kitchen was full of necessary tools and dish ware, just keep up with cleaning as the sink and dishwasher are pretty small. Bathroom is clean, laundry super useful. Using the grill was easy (must buy your own charcoal) and the fire pit was nice. There are lots of insects that like to hang out around the fire pit area and outdoor seating, especially funky looking daddy long legs and earwigs, so use the leaf blower or dust off the seating thoroughly before relaxing.Host is very responsive and kind, sends a small message before your arrival to explain where things are and what can be used. There is no real lake access from the cabin, you have to drive around to the island for kayaking and going to the beach but it’s well worth it, especially kayaking! Definitely hike the caves and surrounding area, so beautiful and adventurous!

The Stone Bluff Cabin is beautiful inside and out! If you want a relaxing retreat to reset and recharge this is the place! We enjoyed watching the trains, eagles and the river. Sleeping accommodations were comfortable. The interior of this place is unique and gorgeous! We could tell the owners put a lot of love into this place. Just a quick drive to Savanna for lunch, antique and thrift store shopping. We cannot wait to come back!

Exactly what my wife and I need - disconnect from the world and beautifully quiet. We already are trying to find a way to return. This beautiful cabin in the woods is sanctuary.

Perfect getaway. Very clean. Remote and quiet but still close enough to nice little towns. Loved to watch the river and occasional train go by.

If you like a quiet, serene place to stay with good views of water, this is a place to consider. The cabin was very clean, well accompanied with comfortable settings. We enjoyed nights around the fire and the occasional train to complete the rural setting. The only drawback to this place is the strong musty odor inside. Luckily, the temperature allowed us to keep the windows open during the stay. This property requires several large dehumidifiers to help improve the conditions caused by it's location at the base of tall bluff.

Cabin was wonderful! Secluded and yet short drive to many fun activities. Host was very responsive throughout the process, answering couple questions before hand and helping us with TV issue during our stay - operator error:).Would definitely stay again!
