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

    We loved our stay! Great communication with Mia! We arrived early and she gave us the passes to the pool and beach so we could hangout there while the cabin was being cleaned. Great hosts! Loved the welcome basket with goodies because our kids were hungry. Such a great touch! Pictures are exactly what the home looks like. Thank You!

    Really needs good cooking utensils. Had to wait over a half hour to get in because Cleaning crew was still there. Having a list of where things are located would have been very helpful, such as cushions for outside chairs place where we could get more firewood, etc. We loved the atmosphere.

    Hi. I wanted to let you know that we truly and completely enjoyed staying at your cabin last weekend for our fishing long weekend. The unit is perfect, clean, and the layout is awesome, which is why we've rented it each winter for the past several years. I did want to mention, if you don't hear from me next year, please do not think it has anything to do with your cabin. My brother actually just purchased a house in Apple Canyon, so it's more likely than not that we'll be staying at his place when going there. However, if we ever need to rent at Apple Canyon again, we'll definitely be staying at your cabin. Thank you so much!!

    The cabin was nice I would just say the only thing I would recommend is better cleaning there is large amounts of dust on fans and vents and around bathrooms faucets where pretty dirty, overall it was nice.

    While we made the most out of our stay, the cleanliness was not great. There were lots of dust/webs on the ceiling corners and ceiling fans, lots of dead flies on the windowsill, and even found an entire area near the dining table with dead bugs. We did not feel comfortable walking barefoot. While it is a very beautiful cabin, the basement room, which I’m assuming is the master bedroom, was extremely hot even while having the fan on. We could not sleep there and had to resort to sleeping in the living room. Would suggest to invest in an AC for that room as it was unbearable.

    Great time with friends! The cabin was beautiful and it was in a nice, quiet location. The only downside was there was 7 women and only one shower. The biggest bathroom on the main level only had a tub so wasn't really useful for us. The bathroom upstairs in the loft was small, but the one with a shower so we all used it. Would recommend getting a small stand of some sort for people to put clothes, make-up bags, etc. as there wasn't a spot to set anything of any size. Nice deck, big lawn and a firepit. Great living room with lots of comfortable seating for us all to gather.

    This trip was everything our family expected during our trip to Apple Canyon, let alone our first family vacation with our children. As lot owners we knew what Apple Canyon had to offer as far as amenities. With that said the property owners were very responsive when I had any questions/concerns about our stay. Furthermore any minor issue we did have the property owner came out same day to help fix and take care of the concern. We will definitely return to this property for future Apple Canyon visits!

    We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Cute decor and most amenities we would need. Just a few things need cleaned and fixed to make it even more enjoyable. Ice maker in the freezer is not in working order, owner said he would get it fixed so hopefully he does. Lots of live and dead ladybugs in the house so I'm not sure how long ago the cabin was cleaned prior to our arrival. It being the off season, maybe the cleaners were there a while ago. Adding another shower would be a huge improvement in a house this size. But overall, the owners were responsive and the house was cozy and cute.

    Myself and 4 friends were looking for a place for a quiet weekend away and found your property. It was perfect for our plans as it gave us a quiet location, yet it was close to activities if we wanted them. The property itself was clean and in good condition. We did have quite a few of the small ladybugs to contend with but that was not a huge deal to us. The beds were comfortable as were the couches. Having 5 beds worked great for us. Our only real criticism is that the lighting in the kitchen is lacking a bit (microwave light not working) and we could have used a larger bowl and a cutting board, (unless we missed them), as we did some cooking. We had plenty of everything else and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for a nice weekend!
