About this cabin rental

Welcome to our cabin we call “Irish Hollow”. One of the oldest and original cabins at the lake. This cabin was hand built by a father and son in the earliest days of Apple Canyon Lake. This log cabin is as authentic as it gets. Immediately feel relaxed as you pamper yourself in luxury. The main floor master is absolutely amazing. The main floor bath has a jacuzzi tub, heated floors, and a wonderful shower.

This cabin literally feels like it was plucked from Ireland's countryside and placed so gently where it rests. We hope you enjoy our cabin with your family and friends as much as we do.

We absolutely love that we are located close to everything. You are just a couple blocks from the sports complex, pool, marina, cove restaurant, golf course, club house, and hiking path. Further away, the waterfall is a pretty sight to see and a great back drop for pictures. Across from the dam and waterfall is Harold Batham nature trail, walking only. Great place for a family walk. Please view framed map for beach and other attractions.

Nice front deck for visiting with friends and family. Sit around the campfire at night, located in the back yard. Extra spacious lot next door for playing games. Trail close to property for walking/hiking. You will have access to lake amenities, pool and beach, with tags provided. Lower level has sleeper sofa and T.V.

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, up hill???

6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Could not get reception for regular tv, kitchen was disorganized with some dirty dishes in the cabinet and dirty water left in the sink. Kitchen appliances were updated but washer and dryer did not work well at all Washers would not spin all the water out of clothes and a knob was missing. And had to run the dryer multiple times to get things dry. Stairs were steep and narrow. There were many lights that did not work or had burnt out bulbs so it was dark in many rooms. Many stairs to get in and out of the house. Definitely not handicap accessible!
