About this cabin rental
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???

Cabin was beautiful and the perfect getaway for our family ski trip at Chestnut Mountain. Comfortable beds and linens, hosts were very hospitable, and kitchen was well-stocked.

Hi. I wanted to let you know that we truly and completely enjoyed staying at your cabin last weekend for our fishing long weekend. The unit is perfect, clean, and the layout is awesome, which is why we've rented it each winter for the past several years. I did want to mention, if you don't hear from me next year, please do not think it has anything to do with your cabin. My brother actually just purchased a house in Apple Canyon, so it's more likely than not that we'll be staying at his place when going there. However, if we ever need to rent at Apple Canyon again, we'll definitely be staying at your cabin. Thank you so much!!

The cabin was nice I would just say the only thing I would recommend is better cleaning there is large amounts of dust on fans and vents and around bathrooms faucets where pretty dirty, overall it was nice.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
While we made the most out of our stay, the cleanliness was not great. There were lots of dust/webs on the ceiling corners and ceiling fans, lots of dead flies on the windowsill, and even found an entire area near the dining table with dead bugs. We did not feel comfortable walking barefoot. While it is a very beautiful cabin, the basement room, which I’m assuming is the master bedroom, was extremely hot even while having the fan on. We could not sleep there and had to resort to sleeping in the living room. Would suggest to invest in an AC for that room as it was unbearable.
