About

Relax with family at the river! A one-level log cabin nestled in the rolling hills of Rock Island, our retreat offers so much to do! Enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming, boating, hiking, or covered porch sitting in nature! Conveniently located 10 minutes from general stores and restaurants, and 20 minutes from the nearest large town. Stylishly decorated to be a cozy retreat inside, a 3/4 wrap around porch offers stunning views from all angles. We love this place so much and hope you will too!

Good to know

With 3 bedrooms and 4 beds, this cabin offers enough space for the whole family! Sleeping 7 comfortably in private bedrooms, the cabin features one king size bed in bedroom with private full bathroom, tub and shower. One private queen size bedroom, and one bedroom with a queen and twin size bed. We also offer beds-in-a-bag for sofa sleeping in common areas, maxing out occupancy to 11. The sofas in the common area den/tv room and also in the living room are both oversized sectionals where comfortable sleeping is definitely possible and sometimes preferred.

Other Details to Note

This property is located on the beautiful Collins River, which is ideal for calm waters and great fishing. Low traffic from boats and a generous shore frontage provide great access to the water, along with the stationary dock as well as the seasonal floating dock. Please note that because we are above the dam, the floating dock is only accessible during certain times of the year when the water is high enough to float it, and should be avoided when it is not in the water and dry docked on the shore. Access to the stationary dock is available year-round and is encouraged for great views, and an incredible river experience, no matter what season.

This is a GREAT river house. It has everything you need. Fully stocked kitchen, great linens, comfy beds. The property is gorgeous. We saw deer, fished off the dock, enjoyed beautiful sunsets. We will definitely be back!

Great, updated cabin. Layout of the cabin was very nice, plenty of community/family space, open concept which was great for our stay that included four younger kids and six adults. Kids loved playing out front and out back. Great back porch overlooking the water. Can walk right out the back door and down to the dock for some fishing. Would stay here again, for sure!

Beautiful peace wrapped into a homey center. This property was incredible. Private fishing dock, lots of land to run around, campfires, and spacious and stocked kitchen! We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed being out near the beautiful river along with proximity to waterfalls.

This cabin was beautiful! It was clean, comfortable, and exactly like the pictures. It had more than plenty of room for 6 of us. We loved the dock and being able to put out kayaks in there. We also used the grill, which was scrubbed and cleaned for use when we arrived! The kitchen is fully stocked, and toiletries provided in the bathrooms. If you want a relaxing, laid back retreat, this is the perfect place for that.

We had an amazing stay at the Cabin! We went with our small children (2yo and 4yo) and my parents - everyone loved it! The house is as pictured, very comfortable and clean, and the grounds are beautiful. We spent half our time at the beach/swimming area in Rock Island State Park and the other half jumping off the dock at the Cabin. Swimming in the river at the cabin was so nice and easy - bring some floaties and relax! There aren't many boats on the river (and we were there over 4th of July weekend), and any that did pass by were very polite and slowed down while passing by. And if you're into it, the bird watching is very impressive at the cabin. Summer is also incredibly responsive and helpful. I had to reach out to her for a few very tiny things and she was happy to help. We will definitely be back!
