This is evident by the differently spaced adze (similar to an axe) marks on the hand hewn logs which suggests people of differing stature were swinging the adze. The cabin was moved by semi to its current home over looking scenic Tete des Morts valley and beautiful Saint Donatus. A lot of creativity and hard work were put in to reconstructing this cabin and maintain the frontier feel while providing a very comfortable laid back stay. Very close in proximity to the popular Kalmes Restaurant and Gehlen House Inn and Barn Brewery. Bellevue State Park and Bellevue Golf Course are only a 15 minute drive along with biking and walking trails. 10 miles to historic Dubuque where you will find many breweries and other attractions such as skiing at sundown mountain or two casinos. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70120000/70119000/70118939/ae162b7d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1850 Cabin Home, Waterfall, Family Getaway, Corporate Party, Weddings East Dubuque - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 28 reviews CA $308 CA $433 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=70118939&PinnedHotelID=70118939&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1210000/1209400/1209342/983fa696.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wyndham Garden Galena Hotel & Day Spa Galena - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Spa 9.4 Exceptional 899 reviews CA $135 CA $149 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=1209342&PinnedHotelID=1209342&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117200000/117198400/117198324/2548ce71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hot Tub 2-bedroom 2 full bath in lovely Galena countryside Galena - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 8 reviews CA $304 CA $595 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=117198324&PinnedHotelID=117198324&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Suite, 1 King Bed, Non Smoking, Jetted Tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/17500/17409/bc344702.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Western Galena Inn & Suites Galena - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Parking included 8.4 Very good 1,006 reviews CA $118 CA $131 total includes taxes & fees Oct 19 - Oct 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=17409&PinnedHotelID=17409&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33670000/33660600/33660517/008d603f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful townhome in Galena Territories Sleeps 9, 4 BR, close to Owners Club.
