About this cabin rental
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.

Perfect night, Great Cabin!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
The cabin itself was beautiful and had a lot of charm ,we really enjoyed the surroundings and the overall setup. However, we did have issues with bugs and flies inside the property in both bedrooms which made the stay less comfortable than expected. With a bit more attention to pest control and cleanliness, this place could be an excellent stay.

I stayed overnight with a friend is this cabin. Everything was super cute right down to the sign at the drive entrance showing you how far you were from certain places… including the Beer Barn! Highly recommend.

There were cracks in the exterior which allowed flies and hornets into the house. The neighbor's dog barked all day and throughout the night. The previous renter left their dirty linens, garbage and their clothes throughout the house.
