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.

This cabin was perfect for my daughter's bachelorette party. It was so fun to go around and look all of the unique features and touches the owners put into this place. Every room was so cool! The views were outstanding along with the sunsets. There are two different patio areas that also connect. The kitchen for us, was a perfect size. We didnt need anything too big as we didn't plan on cooking for our stay. We had six people for our reservation and that was easily accomidated. Alec was amazing to work with, he communicated quickly and even brought us fire wood for our stay. We have rented VRBO's in the past and can honestly say Alec was the best to work with. He genuinely wanted our stay to be perfect there. The location was ideal for us, sits in a quiet neighborhood. We wanted something that was close to both dubuque and galena but not in the busy city location and this was perfect. If we ever need to come back to this area, this will definitely be the place we head back too!

The cabin was perfect for our one night stay. The views from the porch were beautiful! Communication was very quickly responded to. We would definitely stay here again.

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.
