Kishauwau Cabins offers getaway cabins for short term rentals all year round. Our beautifully constructed cabins offer a blend of country charm equipped with modern conveniences. It's strictly cabin rentals here, no tent set ups or RV's.
Cell reception on our property is spotty & there is no way to know until you get here. We offer free guest wifi in our office to use for something quick (ie. check e-mail or look for things to do in the area but we do not allow people to sit in our office all day on the internet). We also do not allow kids to sit in here on it. We understand that some people need it for work or school and that's fine.
Our property is host to 17 cabins in varying sizes. Spacious and well equipped, these Illinois cabins are spread throughout 65 acres of beautiful wooded landscape on a bluff above the Vermilion River. Catering to large family reunions or a quiet, romantic getaway for 2, we are one of Illinois’ premier cabin rental destinations. Whether you’re putting together a family reunion, needing a family vacation cabin or just a romantic weekend getaway for two, Kishauwau Cabins has what you are looking for.
Each cabin rental comes equipped with basic pots, pans, cooking utensils, and dishes in the kitchen, a covered porch (most with porch swings), a personal outdoor fire pit, an indoor wood stove or gas fireplace (for wintertime use only; contact us for details), and much more.
Cabins in Illinois That Allow Dogs
What would a vacation be without everyone’s favorite family member? We welcome your dog with our four dog-friendly cabins on property.
We simply ask you read our pet policies listed under each dog friendly cabin in the “Cabins” tab or contact us prior to your trip.
Each dog will add an additional $20 plus tax per night to your reservation. Simply list 1 or 2 dogs in the pet field when booking on-line and the system will add the fee for you. I do ask that you notify me in e-mail that you have read and are fine with the policies as we are firm with those.
Me and my boyfriend have stayed here twice so far and we plan to continue coming for a long time. We’ve stayed in the wilderness cabin as well as the shady oaks cabin and both were clean, comfortable, well stocked, and just a wonderful place to stay. We didn’t have too much phone reception but they have a huge selection of movies and games available at the main office as well as supplies for a fire, and some other small items you may have forgotten. They also have a very cute little gift shop. Overall the property is beautiful and it’s the perfect driving distance to both matthesson state park (my favorite) as well as starved rock.
My spouse and I started giving our adult children, their spouses, and children a post-Christmas winter getaway in lieu of presents, for the last 3 years. This is by far the best cabin we've stayed at. We are all public servants working in Chicago, and this vacation gave us the necessary rest and relaxation we needed. Each household took turns cooking meals for all and showcased their best dishes prepared in a spacious kitchen space. Our family of 13 could all sit together with no need for a separate kid's table. The couches in front of the TV and fireplace weren't spacious enough for all of us to sit at the same time, but while Grandpa and the other sports lovers watched the NFL playoffs, Grandma was busy playing board games and putting puzzles together with the little ones. Everyone also enjoyed the 4 private bedrooms, the 6 twin beds in the great room for the kids, and the two bathrooms with showers. There's also plenty of room for you to have "me time" away from all the noise. Really, I can go on and on about how this space is perfect for families that want to connect. We're looking forward to booking this space again during other seasons so we can drive a few minutes out to hike at Starved Rock and maybe go into town.
This is a lovely getaway if you want quiet, unplugged time away. The rooms are comfortable, everything needed is provided at a basic, better than camping level with an awesome wood stove to keep cozy in the winter. It was perfect with 4" of new snow to enhance the beauty. Bring the extras and enjoy!
We enjoyed an overnight stay in the Winnebago Cabin! The cabin was clean and welcoming! We enjoyed breakfast and hot chocolate bombs during our stay! The farm fresh eggs were amazing! We enjoyed the array of movies available to borrow as well! We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely go back!
An Old fashioned, calming, peaceful, and intimate experience. Cabin was very clean and inviting. Owners were available all times and the love that given from them to us and our stay was felt. Thank you for a wonderful experience. My husband and I can wait to go back.
