Guest Reviews:

- "Beautiful and peaceful place to stay and enjoy the area." - "Perfect place to escape - private, quiet and peaceful." - "It was certainly a homestead! I really enjoyed my stay! In fact i didnt wanna leave!" - "Perfect for two couples. We had a wonderful weekend." - "We desperately needed a break in our busy summer schedule to reconnect and just chill. Galena is always a favorite of ours and we typically do the B&B thing. This time we decided to search for something a little more secluded and off the usual path. We absolutely loved the location of this delightful, charming cabin. The interior was very clean with plenty of furnishings. We appreciated that the accommodations were pet friendly, Lucy approved as well! :) We very much enjoyed the back deck to unwind each evening with a couple of cocktails. The sounds of birds chirping was so lovely. We also enjoyed the scenic drive to and from town, we felt we had the best of both worlds! The location was wonderfully quiet with no passing traffic. We highly recommend booking here and will definitely return!"

Guest Reviews:

- "We booked this VRBO for an extended weekend when attending a friends wedding in Apple River. We enjoyed the scenery surrounding the house. Danesa was very accommodating for early check in because of the start time of the wedding we attended. She left very clear and helpful information and instructions for the surrounding areas and the checkout process." - "The cabin suite was exactly as pictured/described and the hosts directions were spot-on. I encourage people considering this property to not be swayed by the lack of internet - the peace and solitude truly made my stay that much more enjoyable. A morning walk was enhanced by friendly neighbors up the road and the beautiful sounds of nature. I recommend this property without hesitation."

Stunning Log Cabin with amazing views at Apple Canyon Lake, Perfect Location
Cabin
Apple River, Illinois, USA

Welcome to our cabin we call “Irish Hollow”. One of the oldest and original cabins at the lake. This cabin was hand built by a father and son in the earliest days of Apple Canyon Lake. This log cabin is as authentic as it gets. Immediately feel relaxed as you pamper yourself in luxury. The main floor master is absolutely amazing. The main floor bath has a jacuzzi tub, heated floors, and a wonderful shower.

This cabin literally feels like it was plucked from Ireland's countryside and placed so gently where it rests. We hope you enjoy our cabin with your family and friends as much as we do.

We absolutely love that we are located close to everything. You are just a couple blocks from the sports complex, pool, marina, cove restaurant, golf course, club house, and hiking path. Further away, the waterfall is a pretty sight to see and a great back drop for pictures. Across from the dam and waterfall is Harold Batham nature trail, walking only. Great place for a family walk. Please view framed map for beach and other attractions.

Nice front deck for visiting with friends and family. Sit around the campfire at night, located in the back yard. Extra spacious lot next door for playing games. Trail close to property for walking/hiking. You will have access to lake amenities, pool and beach, with tags provided. Lower level has sleeper sofa and T.V.

We try to supply some firewood for our guests as a perk, but it is not guaranteed. T.V. is dish network. Internet is Fiber-link (250 Mbps), usually very good, but in the rolling hills of Apple River Canyon, at times it is not, so make appropriate plans if this is a must.

The charming town of Galena only 15 miles away. Small towns in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin within a 20 minute drive. Wisconsin is only 10 miles to the north.

Apple Canyon State Park, 10 miles away. Very nice scenic views. Multiple hiking paths. Worth your visit if you like the outdoors.

Don't feel like cooking every meal. One of our favorites, Old School Saloon, Scales Mound IL, 6 miles away. Excellent pizza and sandwiches. They have a 4.8 star rating for a reason. Need delivery, Thriving Thistle Market in Apple River delivers. Their sandwiches are excellent. Pizza is good. You can dine in as well.

Wonderful little town of Shullsburg, Wisconsin. (established in 1827, one of the oldest in Wisconsin) only 13 miles to the north. The restaurants in this small town are second to none. You won't be disappointed. We love visiting this small town.

We have other hidden gems that we recommend and share with our guests upon check in, including "Gravity Hill", 12 miles to the north in Wisconsin, you will be laughing as you roll backwards, up hill???

No Smoking, No parties, no bachelor or bachelorette parties. Sorry, no pets. Maximum guests 6. Minimum age of primary renter is 25.

We cannot lock in dates until deposit is received. Same date requests will be given to the first person securing it with a deposit. Three night stays are required during holiday weekends.

Check in is 4:00 p.m.. Check out is 11:00 a.m.

Thank you for your interest and hope to see you soon.

Guest Reviews:

- "Everything was great and it made for a very relaxing stay." - "We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay at this very nice and cozy house. It truly feels like home away from home. We enjoyed morning coffee and sunsets on the screened deck (big plus). The house is beautiful, nicely decorated, fully stocked with everything you would need. I really appreciated a toaster oven. A lot of dishes for a big company, lots of space upstairs and downstairs. Huge deck. Our son took advantage of his space downstairs feeling close but private. The house easily accommodates a family with several kids or two families. Beth (our host) is awesome. She was in touch with us, welcoming to the house, advising on the area attractions and activities. We didn’t have any problems with the stay but I’m sure she would be very responsive to our requests or concerns. We really liked Galena area. Surprisingly, there are lots to do. We went on the Segway tour on Chestnut mountain, stopped by the Galena Cellars for wine tasting, even explored Iowa’s Maquoketa caves. Galena which is about 10 min drive, very beautiful, frozen in time with lots of good eateries and shops. Just a walk down the Main Street and riverbank is relaxing and interesting. The locals are very nice, friendly and welcoming. PT Murphy magic show is a must. Overall, we had an amazing time!"

Finding the actual house took a little work but nothing too hard. Everything was in good working order with exception of the ice maker and water dispenser from the fridge. No big deal. We look forward to considering the property next year again."

Guest Reviews:

- "This house was perfect for our three-generation family vacation. Very spacious and clean, plenty of bedroom space, and the 4-1/2 baths was great for a group of 10 people. We enjoyed the quiet location, hot tub, and large table for meals and game nights. Would definitely stay here again. The Ruzicka Family" - "5 of us siblings and our spouses stayed here for a 3 night 4 day extended weekend. It was the perfect place to gather, rest, relax, plan our Galena adventures, and spend time together. It has the feel of being separate and woodsy while being in a lovely neighborhood. Well stocked, comfortable furniture, and everything you'd need to prepare meals and eat together. The screen porch was my favorite. Morning coffee- listening to the birds- just what we needed to start the day. I enjoyed a walk in the woods as there was a hiking/unpaved walking trail right by the house followed by a soak in the hot tub. Thank you Cory for sharing this spot with our family!"

Custom Floating Cabin on Mississippi River backwater with a HOT TUB!
Cabin
East Dubuque, Illinois, USA

Enjoy our floating cabin, located on the backwaters of the Mississippi River! This luxurious cabin was just built and has everything you need for a fun or relaxing getaway. This cabin has a custom kitchen, 3 queen beds, 1 queen sofa sleeper, 1 bathroom, and a beautiful rooftop deck with a hot tub!
It is located at Millennium Marina, which often features live music in the Summer. With being on the water, you will often see wildlife.

This custom cabin is located DIRECTLY on the waters of the Mississippi River. It is parked at our marina and DOES NOT MOVE.

You will have to walk on a dock to get to the cabin. Things are a little different than a typical "home", but its super fun! The roof may NOT be accessible at all times of the year (like when it is super cold, raining, or snowing). If there is ANY snow at all, we ask you be extra careful because it is a rubber roof. The rooftop area has a hot tub and outdoor furniture.
This rental is close to the restaurant and is connected to docks that customers park at.
NO EVENTS OR PARTIES ALLOWED AT THIS TIME.
We provide a coffee maker, toaster, stove, oven, and other kitchen items.

We also have boat slips available by the night or by the week. One uncovered slip is provided with your rental. PLEASE NOTE: we have no control of the river levels. This means that sometimes swimming is not possible because the water will be so low. Also, sometimes you cannot get your boat into our marina due to low water. If you plan on bringing a boat, please ask us if the water is deep enough. If you would like more details on how to check the river level, please message us.
Kayak rentals available from the restaurant on property, when they are in season. You get one free hour kayak rental for all registered guests (you can always ask about your specific time if interested in kayaks). Please ask about current restaurant hours if this amenity is important for you.

We have quiet time in the marina, and that starts at 10:00. We want everyone to enjoy the space and the water, so please be respectful of this time.

PLEASE NOTE- We are located on the Mississippi and WE DO FLOOD. We might have to cancel the reservation if flooding is in the forecast. The cabin will stay in the water year round! SWIMMING NOT ADVISED unless you understand the river and swim at your own risk. YES there will be bugs in the warm months! This cabin is DIRECTLY on the water. While we do our best to deep clean, there is no way to prevent the bugs outside.

Ask us about Pack-n-Play availability!

2 ski resorts are only a short drive away!

Just please note that this rental is DIRECTLY on water. Not recommended for very small children or unsupervised children.

This cabin does NOT move.

ALSO NOTE- With the boat being directly on the water, there are sometimes bugs. Not inside the boat, but yes you WILL see them outside. We do clean it thoroughly, but they pop up.

No shoes inside please!
Quiet time is 10 PM. Please respect the neighbors.

Guest Reviews:

- "Loved having a restaurant on the property. Enjoyed being able to dock our boat next to our house." - "Location was perfect driving from Wisconsin meeting up with friends from Iowa. We had an amazing stay at Dubuque in our floating cabin. Starting with the hospitality of owner, staff everyone we came in contact with was really friendly. From the moment we walked in to the clean well decorated cabin we felt welcome & comfortable. Many activities to do in the area. We enjoyed kayaking right outside our cabin door. Delicious food and entertainment at the Millennium bar and Marina. It is only a short walk up the dock from cabin. We all agreed it would be a beautiful place to revisit in the fall to see all the leaves changing colors."

- "Great place to stay and enjoy the Galena Territory. Very modern interior with everything you will need." - "We truly enjoyed the stay. We spent most of our time on Mainstreet in Galena but were only a short drive from Dubuque as well. We will definitely stay again. The only downfall I noted…there was no air conditioner. It wasn’t a problem during our stay because it was still cool in the evenings and mild temps during the day." - "Loved this place. Bed is comfy. I like softer pillows, so will bring my own pillow next time. Had about everything you need for your stay. Elizabeth is a nice alternative to Gelina."

Guest Reviews:

- "This house was awesome and perfect for our family - we were 7 adults, 2 toddlers and an infant. It’s in a great location in the Galena Territory with access to the owner’s club. The property is very well maintained, clean, well stocked. Very spacious and comfortable with a great layout. The upper floor was terrific for the kids — sleeping and play area. My granddaughters had so much fun with all the available toys. It is a very kid friendly house … even to having children dishes/ flatware which the little girls loved. The lower level was awesome with pool and ping pong tables, etc and the hidden room was a big hit! The fire pit was really nice with lots of available firewood. It would have been nice to have another day to just enjoy the house and its amenities. Communication with the host (Beth) was excellent!! Extremely quick to reply to emails and checked in with us on arrival to be sure all good. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. We would definitely stay here again."

We loved sitting in the hottub and looking out at the views. We made all of our meals at the house and the kitchen was well-stocked. We would absolutely stay here again.
