About this property

Private Bluff Top Cottage above the Mississippi River

This charming, newly remodeled cottage is conveniently located between Grafton and Alton, IL on top of the bluff, high above the Mississippi River and the Great River Road. This 2 bedroom cottage is in a private, woodland setting perfect for your bird and wildlife viewing. We have seen many eagles, turkey and deer.

Although there is no internet at the cottage there is a river viewing area with internet close by. Cell phone service is good. Also, for those that would like to stay longer, there is a 10% discount for weekly and 15% for monthly stays.

Relaxing atmosphere
Convenient location to many activities. Much better location than a hotel for our family to enjoy a getaway while in town for a dance competition. Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook a nice meal as well as grill! Beds were very comfortable. Only considerations I would add to description is shower ceiling is a little low for tall people and the driveway is steep (wasn't a problem for our SUV). We would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Lovely out-of-the-way location
The cottage is on a beautiful hill overlooking the Mississippi River. We stayed over Christmas while we were in town visiting family, and though we were generally only there long enough to shower and sleep, we loved it and would stay again. The drive to and from the cottage is gorgeous, and we did find time to visit nearby Alton as well as the Cahokia Mounds. Highly recommended.

Weekend Adventures
The Lane house was very clean and the size was perfect for us. The house sits on a large open area plenty of privacy, definitely off the beaten path. The location was Great to be able to explore Grafton and Alton. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the country vibes.

Perfect Secluded Weekend Getaway
Myself, husband, and almost five-month-old stayed at this quaint cottage for an extended weekend while in the area for a work conference at the nearby college. It was exactly what we were looking for and had all the necessities to keep my family comfortable. Pam was a great host. We loved our stay here! The property is clean and cozy. Would love to come back in the future! Thank you for sharing this gem with us.
