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 location for hiking and seeing the effigy mounds. Plenty of little towns nearby to have a meal if you so choose. The cabin is beautiful inside with all the amenities needed for a very cozy stay. Wonderful place for a quiet 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.
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!
Stayed a week for my 10 year anniversary my birthday and fathers day all in one week. I've stayed at this cabin a handful of times. Cozy fits the description perfectly. I will come back for sure.
This cabin was everything it said online! The host was excellent in communicating and did a great job with having everything we needed for our stay! Would stay again!
My dog, kids and I stayed for four nights over spring break. The cabin was pristine, adorable and very spacious, while feeling cozy. The owners are very organized and thoughtful of their guests. We've stayed in several cabins over the years and this one was the best.
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.
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!
My wife and I were very happy with the stay. The cabin was very nice and had everything that you would need (including things we should have rememebered to bring ourselves). Already have recommended it to family.
Perfect for the two of us! Easy to find and easy check-in. Owners have gone out of their way to have everything you might need.
There was even nostalgic train traffic across the road at 1am:-)
Highly recommend!
