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.

Wonderful Spring Break Getaway
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.

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!

Great stay!
We visited for a long holiday weekend and enjoyed the cabin very much! A lot of great amenities provided in the cabin made it a very comfortable and easy stay. After seeing the photos online, we expected a larger green space, and it was smaller than anticipated, but it was still a great and beautiful space. Located on a fairly busy highway so just something to note for young kids who may be running/playing in the yard. Overall, great stay!

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.
