Mississippi River waterfront cabin just steps from the beach and boat launch

Escape to a secluded Mississippi riverfront cabin nestled at the base of a bluff, where you can unwind on a gorgeous beachfront and gather around a cozy fire pit.

Perfect for year round trips, Finley's Landing Cabin hosts your beach front and boating activities with a nearby boat launch just off the main channel. In the fall and winter it becomes a cozy cabin for unwinding and relaxation with beautiful views of fall foliage and snow covered landscapes. A county park within walking distance awaits for quiet walks through the timber along a tranquil stream.

Just a short 20 minute drive to Dubuque, you'll find excellent shopping and dining. Travel along the scenic Mississippi River bluffs to wineries and restaurants, or enjoy a day on the slopes of Sundown Mountain Resort just 25 minutes away.

The Master bedroom is a great place to start the new day. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the bedroom's deck and watch the river light up with the morning sun. The master queen and the twin/full bedrooms share a bathroom with toilet and pedestal sink. Downstairs is a double bedroom. The main bathroom features an oversized shower with a tankless water heater which provides for long showers. A full sized air mattress with built in electric pump can be placed where needed, and a queen size pull out couch allows for even more sleeping space.

Please note: as with many Mississippi riverfront properties, active trains run nearby and may sound at night.

As advertised
Nice little getaway. The train that rolls by a couple times throughout the night is the only negative of the place but otherwise had everything we needed.

Another wonderful stay!
Finley’s Landing is such an amazing setting - it’s a great spot for family togetherness. It’s rural and gorgeous! We love the campfire and walking in the fall splendor… and we play cards and put together a puzzle. (The table has internal leaves and can accommodate the puzzle at one end while we still use the other end to eat.) The kitchen and living room are one space and is on the ground level, but the bathrooms and bedrooms are both on the split level portion of the cabin, so just keep that in mind if you’re planning a trip with someone that has trouble with stairs (though it’s only 1/2 flight up or down). We just love staying here and always have a memorable trip!

Comfortable and Relaxing
My brother and I (both in our 60's) took our parents (who are 87 years old) to Finley's Landing and all of us had a great time. We took several short trips including to Wisconsin and Guttenberg, but mostly just enjoyed sitting on the deck and experiencing the view. We also liked and used the fire pit. With the fantastic beach and big yard, they would also be great for families.
