About this property
Riverfront Cabin With Small Beach Short Drive From Nauvoo
Situated along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi just a short drive from Nauvoo, IL, this cute cabin is just the place for you if your ideal day consists of exploring outdoors during the day and resting your weary head at night. Nestled in the middle of nature, this cozy, non-smoking cabin is small, but it has everything you will need including a fully equipped kitchen and full-sized bathroom. You will feel like you are camping, but with more amenities including a new window air conditioning unit. The cabin can comfortably sleep four people, but it will accommodate up to six on the new mattresses and couches. If the steep driveway is a problem, you are welcome to park at the bottom of the hill.
Because there is no TV or internet, you will have plenty of time to explore the grounds. As long as the Mississippi River is not too high, you can spend the day on the beach. Be sure to look for eagles because there is a bald eagle's nest nearby. If you simply want to relax with a good book while the kids play and explore, you will be able to do that on the new deck. With Nauvoo being so close, you could also explore the many attractions in town before heading back to the peaceful riverfront setting. At night, enjoy building a bonfire on the beach using the occasional driftwood that washes up when the river is high.
This is an uninsulated cabin in the woods. More like camping than a hotel. Please look through all the pictures before booking. If you have dust, mold, or pollen allergies and would not camp outside because of them this will not work for you.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Williamson
This property is owned by Rebecca Williamson who grew up coming to her grandparents' cabin for family gatherings. As a kid, she played on the beach and in the river and explored in the woods surrounding the property. In 2016, she decided to buy the property from her grandparents' estate so the cabin would remain in the family and she could continue to enjoy nature.
Why they chose this property
Because she has so many fond memories of this area, she now uses the cabin as her home away from home. But now, she brings her own children so they too can create their own memories while using their imaginations to explore and play.
What makes this property unique
As an adult, Rebecca loves to listen to the waves on the beach, go fishing, or watch the wildlife. She enjoys watching for eagles as there is a bald eagle's nest nearby. This truly is her mermaid "cabana" on the muddy Mississippi!
