About this property
Cozy, secluded, peaceful, pond, fishing , swimming, cabin life, large yard area
Nice secluded area for any occasion, family vacation, romantic getaway, Girls/guys trip! We are right by the bloody run trout stream. Plenty of yard for games or roaming. Newly built pond with dock, kayaks, paddle boat and beach area. Pond is shared with The cottage guests only. Please when leaving the beach use the wash area to save on sand tracking in. Please do not take bath towels to the beach. If you love nature and a warm campfire you will love the Cabin! Don’t be alarmed by the train noise it’s actually pretty neat to see the train go by at night while sitting by the fire. Railway Lodge is a unique area and right next to Spook Cave Campground which has an amazing cave tour! If you are wanting to add more family or friends to your trip , we also have The cottage “ walking distance” which sleeps 4. Still private but an option if you are looking to add more guests. We are still close to many attractions around the area. Many guests have loved the secluded area. The Cabin has a loft bedroom with 2 queen beds, fully stocked kitchen, bathroom with shower, charcoal grill, plenty of seating and a nice covered area. Storage shed with outdoor games, please put away when finished. Same with the kayaks. We hope you enjoy the area! - 7 mins away from McGregor -15 minutes away from Pikes Peak State Park - 10 mins to Effigy Mounds Park - 10 minutes away Praire Du Chien - Right next to Spook Cave Campground Eagles Landing winery in Marquette just a short drive Walmart - 15 minutes Nauti Marina ( pontoon rental)- 10 mins (McGregor ) 10 mins to Mcgregor 7 mins to Ballys Casino in Marquette We also offer pontoon/jet ski rentals through Nauti Marina 7 min drive and also a discount when you book.

Spent an enjoyable weekened in the cabin with my sisters. Very relaxing and loved the location. Host was responsive and accommodating. Would book again.
We loved our stay. The cabin had everything we needed, plus some. Our kids loved the board games, the basketball hoop and sandbox. Quiet location. The few trains that went by didn’t bother us at all, our 4 year old actually loved watching them go by.
Overall would recommend but it had a pond in the listing as an amenity. It would have been great except the pond was pretty much drained

Hi Alex , Glad you enjoyed your stay at the cabin. With the drought and doing some maintenance on the pond , the pond is bigger and better for our guests. Please look us up again and we will definitely work with you. Having great experiences for our guests is our top priority. Thanks again
Very clean cabin..very well decorated, felt like we were off the grid, but still had modern amenities. The whole property was so quiet and peaceful..loved watching the wildlife walk through the area. Lots to do in the area..will definitely be making a trip back to this cabin
