About this property

Confluence Cabin Grafton, IL

This cabin is located on the edge of town in Grafton, Illinois. Grafton is the perfect place for family or a couple’s getaway weekend! Being on the edge of town provides privacy from the commotion of main street but is also less than a mile to most attractions in town. It features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Enjoy hanging out or cooking on the spacious deck and having your own yard. There is plenty of room for trailer parking if you are bringing a boat. Also, there is a fire ring in the back yard that you are more than welcome to use. I try to keep fire wood there but it sometimes gets used up before I can restock it. This property is new to the market but I have had other properties in Grafton for a few years now. Feel free to look at their reviews or if they would fit your needs better. Property ID numbers on VRBO are 1861089 & 1581958. The listing names are 311 Timber Ridge Drive Condo A / 311 Timber Ridge Drive Condo B

Peaceful retreat

Really enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed. Cabin was clean and the area was perfect. Enjoyed a nice run on the trail near by. We also loved sitting on the deck and watching the doe and her baby in morning.We will definitely stay again!

Decent Stay

Overall the stay was fine, but would be more suitable for groups without small children. The stairs to the basement and stairs from living room to kitchen were challenging with a small child. The bathroom and floors could have been cleaner as well, but overall was fine stay.

Quiet comfortable getaway….

Very nice smaller home tucked away off the Main Street with a view of the water. Beautiful wrap around porch that was great for sitting outdoors. Close enough to restaurants and bars, but far enough way to still enjoy the quiet.

Wonderful stay

This property is located just at end of strip making it very convenient to come and go. Perfect amenities for our short girls getaway. Only issue was finding it upon our arrival as it is located behind a couple other houses with a shared driveway. Host had wonderful communication, house was clean and well decorated and listing was just as described. Host also has other properties for different size groups. Would definitely stay again!

Clean, quiet, comfortable

The Confluence Cabin had a masculine atmosphere with paintings of hunting, dogs andPlaques praising the lure and romance of fishing and hunting. Liquor bottles decorated the shelf above the micro wave and neon beer sign above that. A nice big porch wraps around two sides of the porch, equipped with a big barbeque grill and a picnic table. I can envision a bunch of men, smoking, drinking beer, and eating the fish they had caught that day, having a nice party enjoy each other's company. But we were 2 older ladies that enjoyed having the privacy of our own bedrooms and a nice modern kitchen equipped with all the pots and pans and utensils we needed. Plus there was a fair amount of food items that previous renters had left behind for the next person to enjoy. Overall, it was quite delightful.

We had a great short stay at the cabin, it was perfect for a quick getaway and had everything you would need. Location was great, just a quick 3-5 minute drive to the main strip in Grafton, definitely a doable walk if you wanted as well. We would stay here again!

This is my first review that isn’t mostly positive. It’s honestly hard to write, but it was my family’s experience. We arrived at the house to bad odor and warm, muggy temp. Upon unpacking the frozen food we brought, we found the refrigerator was not working at all and was the cause of the smell. After notifying the property manager, a mid size cooler with ice was brought. This did not keep our frozen items at a low enough temp and they melted/spoiled. When filling the coffee pot, I found it was full of grounds. I worked at cleaning it for 10 minutes….though much of the brown sludge from grounds being left in the back were unable to be cleaned out. When our water park plans the next day got rained out (side not to book within 60 days if you want a chance at your money back), we decided to leave. We notified the property manager and did not even mention any refund as it was our choice. However, when I realized a charger had been left (a MacBook charger), I asked if it could be located and was told they would be there by the end of the week to look. Over a week goes by and I reach out again. Yes, it had been found. Ok…would you be willing to send it back? I’m assuming a hospitable person would USPS it back for under 10 as we had trouble at the rental. Nope. Asked for my VENMO so they could charge me. Not even worth it. I bought a new one and a 33ft travel trailer so I don’t experience this again.

Great, quiet location. Several deer passed through the backyard morning and evening. The porch area was very nice. The house was clean. Had a small issue with the refrigerator not working properly and Jeff was very quick to respond. Would highly recommend!

Nice Clean House

The house is how it looks, very clean and although small it is perfect for a group 4. The covered deck is great and we needed it as it rained both days we were there. However we were able to play cards. You could easily walk to Drifters restaurant/bar from there and the another half mile you are in the middle of Grafton.

We loved our stay here! The house was clean and furnished nicely and has a great deck. The wi-fi worked very good and they had a nice smart TV, so we were able to watch our shows. While it is pretty close to the road, it is strangely really feels to itself. There are two restaurants incredibly close to the cabin, but pretty much most of the restaurants are with about 30-45 walk, we ate at four of them and all were good. About a ten minute drive is the Treehouse Wildlife Center, I would really recommend checking out.

Weekend Getaway

This was a lovely little cottage. The location was perfect, close to everything. Our favorite spot at the house was the porch. We loved sitting outside in the morning having coffee and watching the wildlife. Communication and check in was easy. This was an excellent simple getaway! The only thing missing was an extra blanket and extra pillows, but I could have easily brought my own.

Great location to all Grafton businesses

Loved the location, a sign by drive that said “confluence cabin “ would be beneficial to locating the home. Interior and surrounding deck was as pictured. My suggestions would be add a table lamp in the LR and BR’s. We were very afraid to use the so called fire pit as it was was fairly close to the wood deck. It was overloaded with limbs and lawn / tree leaves, debris and we didn’t want to spend time cleaning it out in order to use it safely which was a bit disappointing since we brought wood and items necessary to use it. Only complaint from one of the gals was that there was no back up toilet paper for the price paid, one roll is all that was there. The door is very tricky to close and lock, assume it was due to the moisture with the rain but instructions would help others who aren’t knowledgeable with keypad locks As well as instructions on how to operate the tv with two remotes since every tv / cable / remote set up is so very different.Enjoyed our stay very much in spite of my suggestions.

Great location

Loved the house. It was perfect for our stay. Located in between Grafton and Pere Marquette State Park. It was hard to spot the driveway between the 2 houses since this house is set back off the main road. We enjoyed the large porch and spent time there with our morning coffee and playing games at the table in the afternoon.
