About this property

Wooden Head Cabin Early1800's Log Cabin with a View and Modern Amenities

This rebuilt early 1800's log cabin is located in historic and very scenic Saint Donatus, Iowa.
this cabin came from a family owned farm in Bernard Iowa where it was constructed as a family affair. This is evident by the differently spaced adze (similar to an axe) marks on the hand hewn logs which suggests people of differing stature were swinging the adze.
The cabin was moved by semi to its current home over looking scenic Tete des Morts valley and beautiful Saint Donatus.
A lot of creativity and hard work were put in to reconstructing this cabin and maintain the frontier feel while providing a very comfortable laid back stay. Very close in proximity to the popular Kalmes Restaurant and Gehlen House Inn and Barn Brewery. Bellevue State Park and Bellevue Golf Course are only a 15 minute drive along with biking and walking trails. 10 miles to historic Dubuque where you will find many breweries and other attractions such as skiing at sundown mountain or two casinos.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
