Small Cabin on West Fork Kickapoo River

Great spot for fly fishing—quiet, peaceful, and the perfect escape from city life. The only challenge we ran into was the hot water, which seemed to last only a few minutes. My shower ended up being colder than the West Fork of the Kickapoo! Other than that, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come back. The location and atmosphere more than made up for the unexpected cold plunge!

This cabin is perfect for a a fishing getaway. It's nothing fancy, but it's comfortable and quiet. The back porch was perfect for an early coffee and post fishing drinks. And it's RIGHT ON THE RIVER! Will definitely be back.

Thank you for letting us stay in your nice cabin!

The property is cute and charming and just a few steps from the river. I was however dismayed when we turned on to the road to pull into the cabin to see two neighboring homes with old junk cars, beer cans and garbage everywhere. Luckily the houses on the side of the road with the cabin were nice and well kept. There were a lot of people coming and going from the junkyard houses but other than that it was a very peaceful and quiet stay. When we arrived and were exploring I stepped on the deck and tripped as one of the floor boards was rotted and gave way. No big deal that is not always obvious and happens. I planned to just let the host know. As we settled in we noticed the shower was not clean and had lots of soap scum and stains. There was also a frayed wire sticking out of the wall in the upstairs bedroom facing the river and signs on the outlets that said no equipment ground which made me even more concerned about the wire and use of outlets. I let the host know about these issues, and the response I got was that they had never had anyone tell them about these issues in all the years they had this property and it must be because they were trout fishermen who didn’t mind. They took no responsibility and simply just put it back on us as being too finicky. Look, it’s a cute kitschy place and clean save for the bathroom and was peaceful outside. But this place leaves some things to be desired. A little extra care would do some good.
