Amazing Log Cabin with Beautiful Views at Apple Canyon Lake

Enjoy our cabin "Fox Ridge Getaway" with your family or friends. Beautiful wood cabin with open loft, immediately feel relaxed in the Amazing Great Room. This cabin really makes you feel miles away with its gorgeous views of the countryside. Lower level has a bar. Nice back deck for grilling and visiting. Sit around the campfire at night, located in the back yard. Trail close to property for walking/hiking. You will have access to lake amenities, pool and beach, with tags provided. Upstairs loft has a shower. Lower bath has a tub.

We try to supply some firewood for our guests as a perk, but it is not guaranteed. T.V. is dish network. Internet is Fiber-link (250 Mbps), usually very good, but in the rolling hills of Apple River Canyon, at times it is not, so make appropriate plans if this is a must.

The charming town of Galena only 15 miles away. Small towns in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin within a 20 minute drive. Wisconsin is only 10 miles to the north.

Apple Canyon State Park, 10 miles away. Very nice scenic views. Multiple hiking paths. Worth your visit if you like the outdoors.

Don't feel like cooking every meal. One of our favorites, Old School Saloon, Scales Mound IL, 6 miles away. Excellent pizza and sandwiches. They have a 4.8 star rating for a reason. Need delivery, Thriving Thistle Market in Apple River delivers. Their sandwiches are excellent. Pizza is good. You can dine in as well.

Wonderful little town of Shullsburg, Wisconsin. (established in 1827, one of the oldest in Wisconsin) only 13 miles to the north. The restaurants in this small town are second to none. You won't be disappointed. We love visiting this small town.

We have other hidden gems that we recommend and share with our guests upon check in, including "Gravity Hill", 12 miles to the north in Wisconsin, you will be laughing as you roll backwards, uphill???

Log Cabin Review
We truly enjoyed our time. The one disappointment was that the ice make was not working and we were not informed about it prior to our stay. Showed up with our adult beverages and had to run out for ice. Home and location were excellent

Great location, close to wedding venue
We had a wedding to attend that was in Apple River. The cabin was nice and close to the venue and easy to find! It’s a nice, quiet area to stay. The cabin was very clean, check-in and checkout were extremely easy! There was also plenty of room for the two couples who stayed and our pack-in-play for our baby. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting!
This home was beautiful and perfect for our weekend at apple canyon. The third bedroom isn’t private which was a bit surprising at first but we made it work and it ended up not being an issue. Loved that they had firewood available for a quick bonfire and s’mores. Don’t miss the little side of the road stop that has eggs, corn and little Knick-knacks.

Family time
Enjoyed our time with family in this nice house. We were a little disappointed that the amenities were further away. It would be nice to have more information about location of the trails and what is permitted on them. Appreciated the firewood, snacks, and amenities that the association provides.

Wonderful time at the Cabin!
This was our third stay, and will be back. The host is very responsive, and the cabin is warm and spacious. They did some nice renovations since our last stay, and it looks great! We enjoy just hanging out on the porch and/or deck, and always take time to enjoy the lake, and pool as well. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. Heather

Good space for a family
Very large living/dining area and kitchen. Two bathrooms which was great. Two deck areas with comfortable seating and nice large yard. Works well for family. Could be enclosed more for little children’s early bedtime. Hide a bed option in basement could help. But very nice for family! Beautiful area.

Perfect Getaway for Family and Friends
We had a wonderful time at Fox Ridge Getaway! The cabin's spacious layout was perfect for our group, providing plenty of room to relax and spend quality time together. We especially enjoyed cozy nights watching movies by the fireplace during the rainy weather. The kitchen was well-stocked, making meal preparation a breeze, and the propane grill was great for barbecues. The host's thoughtful touches, like the extra towels for swimming and the generous amount of firewood, were greatly appreciated. We felt right at home at Fox Ridge Getaway, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

We did an early Father's Day trip. Only living 2 hours away this was a nice quick trip. We loved how rural it was and I especially enjoyed the rockers on the front porch 🙂
