Amazing Log Cabin with Beautiful Views at Apple Canyon Lake

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???

No Smoking, No parties, No bachelor or bachelorette parties. NO PETS. Maximum guests 8. Minimum age of primary renter is 25.

We cannot lock in dates until deposit is received. Same date requests will be given to the first person securing it with a deposit. Three night stays are required during holiday weekends.

Check in is 4:00 p.m.. Check out is 11:00 a.m.


Thank you for your interest and hope to see you soon.

What's nearby

  • A decent sized tiger musky in a shallow clear area right off the main lake basin. I estimated the size of this fish at 38 to 40 inches. I have caught muskies up to 49 inches in this lake. I always love to get photos of fish in natural habitat and muskies are close to impossible to find in open water.

4th time staying, still awesome as ever.

Stayed here multiply times and every time has been a very good experience. Value for price paid is great. When so many places are overpriced and outrageous, this is priced right and well maintained.

Great time with friends! The cabin was beautiful and it was in a nice, quiet location. The only downside was there was 7 women and only one shower. The biggest bathroom on the main level only had a tub so wasn't really useful for us. The bathroom upstairs in the loft was small, but the one with a shower so we all used it. Would recommend getting a small stand of some sort for people to put clothes, make-up bags, etc. as there wasn't a spot to set anything of any size. Nice deck, big lawn and a firepit. Great living room with lots of comfortable seating for us all to gather.

Nice cabin. Unfortunately Dish TV was out due to storms prior to our arrival but owners made contact & within a few days was fixed. No ice maker in fridge. Plenty of space for our family of 6. ACL amenities was appreciated! Visited Chestnut Mountain Resort (20 miles) & walked Main St in Galena, IL. Ate at Old School Saloon (Scales Mound, IL) - 10 min Very good food!!
