About this property

Beautiful Apple Canyon Lake Log Cabin in the Woods

Come be a kid again at our log cabin in the woods, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, jacuzzi tub, 25ft tall stone fireplace, and comfortable beds!

Our 'Great Room' gives new meaning to the name, with an open concept kitchen, eating and sitting area and French doors that open onto an elevated cedar deck overlooking the woods.

We do offer a tv and dvd player but no tv channels are available. We do offer fiber internet so you can bring a firestick for streaming. We do try and provide a supply of firewood for renters as a perk but this is not always guaranteed. We also provide a gas grill for you to use.

Please view the AVAILABILITY CALENDAR on the website for date availability. We are sorry, but we cannot lock in dates until deposit is received. Please keep in mind we often receive several inquiries for the same dates. The first paid deposit locks in the dates. The deposit is refundable until 1 month prior to your arrival. Please note that we require a minimum of a three night stay during holiday weekends.

The whole stay was wonderful! The hosts were fast to respond. The house is very nice. It is clean and well kept. I have never had such a full stocked kitchen when traveling. You could truly make a feast! The bedrooms were also very nice with tons of linens and extra towels for the baths. We really enjoyed our stay

The cabin was absolutely amazing. It was spacious with the perfect amount of natural light. It sits on a prairie reserve around the lake. My son and I enjoyed hiking around the lake and learning about the natural ecology of the region. We spent a few days driving to Galena of course, but we also loved Shullsburg WI (Gracity Hill was so cool!) Dubuque IA and Scales Mound. Unfortunately the Horseshoe Mound was closed but we will visit that on our next adventure to the region. The weather was a bit chaotic but we all know to expect 70s one day and 20s the next lol. I highly reccomend a stay at the Hidden Cabin. We can't wait to go back!

Amazing place! The host were accessible and accommodating. They allowed us to make some changes to our stay which meant the world to us! Now to the cabin- beautiful, cozy, well appointed, and in a tranquil setting. Most relaxing getaway we have had n years. Would recommend anyone looking to experience a slower pace (but within a 30 minute drive of some of the best the Midwest has to offer.)

This cabin is charming and beautiful. The views of nature and the tall trees are magnificent. It was the perfect place to decompress and detox from everyday life. I could come here 3xs a year easily and it would nourish my soul the way I need. The homeowners are top notch. This was a perfect weekend getaway.
