About this property
Luxury Family Cabin Near Starved Rock - Grandma's Cabin - sleeps 14 maximum
Kishauwau Cabins is a family run cabin rental property just a 10 minute drive from Starved Rock & Matthiessen State Parks. Friday & Saturday nights must be booked together here for weekend rental. You may not check in or out on Saturdays. Our cabins are set on 65 acres of wooded property above the Vermilion River. Grandma's cabin is our largest cabin with 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms each with a shower and accommodates up to 14 people. This cabin caters to large family reunions here which we see all year long. This cabin offers 4 bedrooms each with 1 queen bed, 2 full bathrooms each with a shower, a fully equipped kitchen with large french door refrigerator, 2 stoves both with ovens, microwave, Bunn coffee pot. The great room area in this cabin is almost 1,000 square feet and is open to 6 twin beds lining 1 of the walls, 3 very long dining tables, the kitchen and living space. This is our only cabin that offers satellite TV reception with a 55" TV and gas fireplace (for winter use only). All cabins have their own personal outdoor bonfire pit and this one keeps numerous picnic tables outside and a large charcoal grill. These are all 4 season cabins that all have central air/heat as well.
Guests absolutely LOVE this cabin and it is usually the hub for large family reunions that rent many other cabins here as well. You will love being so close to the state parks to go do all the hiking, if that is what you have come to the area to do, and then come back to our gorgeous 65 acre wooded property for peace and quiet. That is what we offer our guests here.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Terisa King
Hello, I am Terisa King and my husband is Jamie King. My in-laws purchased this property from the Boyscouts back in 1986. Coming from primitive beginnings, Kishauwau has gone through many transformations over the years. Our Kishauwau Cabins property is a gorgeous, expansive 65 acre property that sits on a bluff above the Vermillion River. This business was built up over a 25 yr. period into what is now our beautiful cabin rental property today. We take great pride in what we do and have our hands in everything from communications, to key exchanges, to maintaining everything that happens on site. We live right on property with our family and are here for the needs of our guests. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
Why they chose this property
There are few properties today that can give you the small, family run atmosphere you receive from us. Our guests love that our office is left open 24/7 with items on the honor system. We are here to tend to our guests needs but leave you alone once you are checked in. Few places can cater to large family reunions like ours. With 17 cabins spread throughout 65 acres of wooded property we can cater to everything from large reunions to just a single couple looking for seclusion. All of this is located a simple 10 minute drive from both Starved Rock & Matthiessen State Parks and within a half hour of many things to do in this area.
What makes this property unique
Our property allows families & couples to unplug & disconnect from technology and communicate in a way that is a recent forgotten past. Families and couples frequently leave here saying this was the best getaway they have ever had and it is due to that reason. We have a small hiking trail that goes along the Vermillion River as well as a fishing bank at the bottom of a large hill at the back of our property. The amount of rain we are getting does determine if this is possible. It is also hard to find properties that offer a personal bonfire pit at each cabin for your own privacy. These are all individual cabins here. Give us a call today!
