About this property

This rebuilt early 1800's log cabin is located in historic and very scenic Saint Donatus, Iowa.
this cabin came from a family owned farm in Bernard Iowa where it was constructed as a family affair. 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.

Perfect for what we needed

Cabin was really a treat. Rustic, beautiful, and had everything we needed. A relaxing evening sitting on the back patio next to the fire pit was awesome. The cabin was super clean. The owner was very helpful and quick to get back on any questions I had. We will definitely be staying again on our next trip in that area.

Getaway Cabin

Great, clean cabin! Really cool memorabilia of the time this cabin was built-but all the comforts of a new build. The views are breathtaking of the rolling Iowa hills, and my nieces loved taking turns on the built in swing.

Beautiful View!

We loved the location and the porch view from the log cabin! The restoration of this log cabin was done beautifully and didn’t miss a detail. We had the best time and enjoyed the Kalmes restaurant close by as well as the brewery in the Gehlan Barn! The kitchen doesn’t have a regular refrigerator or microwave but it does have an air fryer. That would be our only suggestion. Otherwise it was perfect for our family of 4! Thank you to the owners who took really good care of this property and were very attentive and kind.
