Amazing Log Cabin with Beautiful Views at Apple Canyon Lake

Enjoy our cabin "Fox Ridge Getaway" with your family or friends. Beautiful wood cabin with open loft, immediately feel relaxed in the Amazing Great Room. This cabin really makes you feel miles away with its gorgeous views of the countryside. Lower level has a bar. Nice back deck for grilling and visiting. Sit around the campfire at night, located in the back yard. Trail close to property for walking/hiking. You will have access to lake amenities, pool and beach, with tags provided. Upstairs loft has a shower. Lower bath has a tub.

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, uphill???

No Smoking, No parties, no bachelor or bachelorette parties. One pet under 45 pounds allowed. no puppies or kittens. Maximum guests 8. Minimum age of primary renter is 25.

We did an early Father's Day trip. Only living 2 hours away this was a nice quick trip. We loved how rural it was and I especially enjoyed the rockers on the front porch 🙂

A very nice place. As of Dec 2023 some small improvements underway that don’t interfere. Very responsive host. Nearby lake and woods but not on the lake or in the woods. In a small neighborhood of similar homes.

Fun house, very private!
We loved the cabin! Plenty of sleeping space. The fireplace was amazing! I love a real wood burning fireplace. We didn’t end up using the outdoor firepit, but I’m sure we would have really enjoyed it! The bathtub was cute but I wish there was a way for it to be a second shower. One shower was tough with 6 women! But we made do. I would venture to say that we will be back someday! The drive to Galena is pretty quick. All in all, loved it!

Beautiful Cabin
We love staying here for our family vacation! The location is beautiful and not far from the pool! We love the front porch, just sitting and enjoying the view. This year, the wasps were a bit of a problem, but nothing wasp spray didn't take care of. The remodeled basement was done very nice! We will definitely be coming back next year! :)

Family Vacation
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this location and love it. While my family has a summer home in apple canyon, we are too large of a crowd to all stay in one house. This was perfect location, close to the trails so we can take the carts to and from houses. The downstairs is now complete with a tv room and separate bedroom. This was perfect for those who like it cooler than others in the house. There is also a room on the main floor which was great for my mother and didn't have to walk all the stairs. We will be coming back again, I am sure.

Relaxing weekend
My family of adults and small children enjoyed our stay at the cabin. This area of Illinois is beautiful countryside all around. The veiws from the cabin were beautiful. We enjoyed the nearby Apple Canyon State Park and the included access to the pool as well. With the baby in our group we didnt access the lake, but it looked to be a well-kept lake with lots of water activites. The pool and lake access are a short 10 min drive from the cabin. The cabin itself was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the firepit one night as well. Would definitely consider staying again. We didnt realize there were neighbors very close by, but they were all very quiet and we didnt really see them.

This is our second year staying here, and we just absolutely love the place. The host is very responsive, and the cabin is so inviting. This year the weather was great too so we took advantage of sitting out on the porch and playing bags in the yard. Thanks again for sharing you cabin with us. We look forward to staying at your cabin again.
