This quaint Riverview Cabin is located along State Highway 96 that is along the Scenic River Road, two miles north of Hamilton (on Mimosa Hill), Illinois or 10 miles south of historic Nauvoo, Illinois. The Cozy Cabin offers unique charm and quirks since it was built in 1901, primarily as a fishing cabin. This cabin is naturally rustic. DESCRIPTION of LOCATION: The views from this cabin offer views of the Mississippi River, gorgeous sunsets, eagles soaring, pelicans bobbing along, and other water wildlife. Barges cruise up and down the river on a regular basis, as well as river boats, and fishing boats. Trains rumble along the Iowa side of the river at different times. The lily pads add to the canvas and begin to bloom a lotus shaped bloom in mid-summer. There is a wide variety of features around the cabin and in the neighboring areas to take advantage of. Bring your fishing poles and visit the Illinois DNR website to gain a fishing license and try out some of the local fishing hot spots. Geode hunting is a favorite pastime for locals and visitors. Nauvoo offers historical adventures throughout much of the spring, summer, and fall months. Neighboring towns like Hamilton, Carthage, Nauvoo and Keokuk also have charm, shopping, tourism opportunities, and modern conveniences. Outside the Riverview Cabin you can enjoy the swing while you take in the river views. Explore and revel in the blooming flower gardens around the cabin. Sit out on the secluded patio that backs up to tall mature trees and appreciate the fire ring. Other wild birds can be viewed and watched from the picnic table while BBQing. The tranquility of nature is all around the cabin. Eagles may land in the trees to eat a fish. Squirrels scurry up to the canopy of the trees. A deer or a family of deer may wander by unexpectedly. There is a rest area that is walking distance from the Riverview Cabin. The mowed areas just across the road from the cabin are state owned and can be utilized as a picnic spot, area to play, or spend time exploring. There are other areas like this along this scenic highway, too. CABIN FEATURES: When you visit the Riverview Cabin, you will enter the front door into the living room. The living room faces the Mississippi River and provides a lovely view, even on a rainy day. There is a TV and DVD player, sofa with recliners at each end, another recliner, and a glider. There are DVD's at the cabin for your viewing. The TV offers some local channels only. The dining room offers a table with four chairs and there are a few extra available that can be pulled up. There is neat, framed art on the walls that provide some history and information. For anyone with young children, there is a booster seat, games, books, and a few toys available. You can also enjoy the river view from the dining room, too. The kitchen has a double sink, electric stove, microwave, toaster, crockpot, coffee maker, small refrigerator with freezer, some dishes, cooking utensils, and other basic kitchen items. The complete kitchen is at the back of the cabin and offers a door that leads to the patio. That is where you will find the BBQ grill and additional seating. There is only one bedroom, and it is located just off of the dining room. There is no "bedroom door". The bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, closet space, and dresser. There are windows that can provide you with a view of the river and views of the timber. The one and only bathroom entrance is through the bedroom. It offers a shower, toilet, pedestal sink, and counter. The water supply comes from a rural water treatment facility. We no longer have the well water. There are towels, washcloths, hair dryer, and other items to use.

The cabin was extremely clean, had everything we needed (towels, bedding, basic kitchen supplies), and the ac unit kept up even in the heat wave we were experiencing (plus there are several fans you can move where desired). It has a beautiful view of the river, and the outdoor garden/patio space is stunning. The host even shared some tomatoes and peppers with us - yum! Yes, the floors are wonky and the ceiling is low in places, but it adds to the unique character of the place (granted, a 6ft person may be bothered more by the ceiling height in places, but we weren’t). Our kids loved this place and we’d stay here again! Great price, location, and overall stay! Thank you! ##### Jenepher R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie H.

We got there just in time to see the most beautiful sunset right over the river! Stunning! There were several little quirky things about the cottage because of its age, but in our opinion, they just made it even more charming. There was a problem with the Wifi apparently because of the massive storm that hit the area earlier in the summer, but we made due without. I would definitely recommend! ##### Laura M.

Great communication with the nice owner! Very comfy bed and couch, seating around the dining room table for plenty as well. Yes, the floors tilt in many directions and the ceiling is low in the back part of the kitchen.. it is a river cabin built in 1901 after all, but very tall 6'+ may need to watch out, but wasn't a problem. Just have your sea legs on and enjoy the unique stay! The living room, swing, and picnic table views to the river are great! And the bed is level and very, very comfy. If we find ourselves back in this area I wouldn't hesitate to book again. ##### jo n. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tanner May 19, 2025 Liked: Communication While the hostess is very gracious and the property as clean as possible, the reality is it is still a cabin built in 1901\. It has a very musty old building smell, electrical would never pass any inspection as it is all wired extension cords glue/tacked up to the walls. The floors being very unlevel is also more then just an old building. When you put newer' stick on vinyl in, you still have to do some leveling work subflooring. Shower is also not level to where the water will pool to one corner at times since it was added later with the same lack of subflooring. The outdoor patio area is quite nice however and the cabin itself is tastefully decorated, just has structural and electrical issues that are not typical even of a refurbished property. ##### Tanner Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica F. Aug 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Beautiful spot, but read the reviews to know what you're getting My kids were extatic to see the place. They loved the "tiny house". I loved the gardens and view. We had everything we needed, except wifi. That really through us through a loop because my husband needed wifi to work remotely and that's one thing I made sure was in the listing. However, their wifi was out of order and I would have liked to be notified by the owner. FYI- if you need something from the owner you'll have to call. She did not respond to texts. I was not prepared for the slanted and soft floors. My kids thought it was cool though. There are no interior doors, except for the bathroom, but we couldn't get it to lock. Shower worked great. There's only one bed. All the kids slept on cots and air mattresses. There were lots of games and toys for the kids to play with. We had a good stay overall. ##### Jessica F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard Aug 3, 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient location and view was nice. Place was clean overall, but cluttered, Traffic on road below noisy. Cabin was musty smelling. I realize the place was built some time ago, but really needs better maintenance - some window sash held shut / down with sticks of wood, some wouldn’t open at all to let air in (and air conditioner was so noisy I couldn’t sleep with it on), some crack out windows didn’t work at all, one blind in living room broke so we couldn’t open it, electricity would never pass an inspection (was running all over the walls to connect to outlets and lights), floors so uneven it felt like you were in a fun house with the floors moving up and down as you walked. Perhaps some people find some of this country charming, but it certainly wasn’t what I expected for the 4.7 out of 5 rating it had. The description did indicate the internet wasn’t totally reliable, however it never connected at all for the two nights we were there, and we had to change all the TV settings ourselves to get any regular (like NBC) type channels. Sorry, but this is the truth. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Norm M. Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Easy to find.
