About this house rental

The perfect year-round family getaway! Spend time playing outside at the playgrounds right outside your front door, cooking smores over the fire or exploring the nearby Mississippi River town of Lansing, IA. Deer sightings right from the cabin are common so be on the lookout right after dawn and right before dusk. 10 acres of land to roam around with your pet or for a leisure stroll!

If keeping your young ones entertained is your goal, (we have 3 young kids) then book now! We have 2 playgrounds, a large sandbox, outdoor toys, and a brand new zip-line! We get asked this quite often, “is it private?” Yes, it is, it’s all on our privately owned 166-acre property!

In the winter time we have sleds to do some sledding or bring your snowshoes for a hike around the property!

Want to stay inside? Cozy up to a movie on the two different smart TVs or play the 10+ board games with the family. Indoors or out, this is a great place to make lasting memories together no matter what time of year.

The main level features a full bath, 1 bedroom with a queen-sized bed off of the kitchen, a spacious living room, dining area with a complete kitchen. (Utensils, pots pans, Keurig coffee maker, microwave)
Don’t worry about packing linens or towels, we provide a clean and comfortable stay!
There is a loft with a full and twin-size bed and plenty of children's toys!
The basement has a full bathroom, bedroom with a king-sized bed and another large living room with a TV (same features as the upstairs TV) and a cozy couch.
The main level has YouTube TV, along with Netflix and access to various apps on smart TVs. Wireless internet throughout the house for those pesky emails and to entertain the teenagers :)

There are two fire pits on the property, firewood is included with your stay. There are marshmallow roasting sticks, firestarter, and plenty of chairs to sit down and relax with a cold beer, glass of wine, or a juice box!

A gas grill is located on the cabin porch. (Propane is provided and in the event you run out we have extras on site)

Activities nearby include trout streams, boating or fishing on the Mississippi, plenty of local shops, restaurants, bars, grocery store, and gas stations just 5 minutes away. For hiking or hunting enthusiasts, there are 1000+ acres of public land to explore in multiple directions of Lansing.
Mt. Hosmer lookout has hiking trails and two river view lookouts! The view is absolutely amazing! A must-see for everyone. There are restrooms, picnic areas, and a playground there as well.
Prairie Du Chien and LaCrosse, WI are both a 45-minute drive away for other exploration opportunities.

And if trout fishing is your aim you should also check out some of the finest coldwater trout streams anywhere: Lansing Clear Creek at Clear Creek Park (only about a 2 minute drive from the cabin; 1972 South Road on the west edge of town); Wexford Creek (1416 Great River Road) and the French Creek Wildlife Area to name a few. Check with the DNR to find which area streams are stocked on a regular basis.

There are two boat landings if the Mississippi is your destination. Both are about a 5-10 minute drive from the cabin and we have plenty of parking on-site for multiple boats.

If you’re looking for something different, we also have another property that overlooks the Mississippi River high atop the bluff located just across the river near Desoto, WI. Property ID #2045955

Note: There is a second cabin owned by us that my father stays at occasionally. The two houses are far enough apart for privacy. If he is on-site (which is rare) for your stay he can lend a hand with any issues that may come up, give recommendations, and UTV rides! Let us know if you have any questions.

We had a wonderful time at Apple Valley. The property and cabin are absolutely beautiful. Everything there you need. The air conditioning was great on the very hot days. Enjoyed the firepit each night. Our family loved the zipline. Enjoyed seeing deer often. The owner answered any questions immediately. Great communication with these owners. Would highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing get away.

We had a great time. We would highly recommend the property and a perfect spot for families with younger kids with all the playground equipment, zipline, and outside space that is away from the road. Our boys are beyond those ages, but they still took zipline ride.

Great spot just minutes or so from the Mississippi. Great spot for any group with littles. We had a 3yo and a 1 yo in our group and the sandbox became an instant favorite. 10/10 great spot with the basement room perfect for napping kiddos. All kitchen essentials were there and of nice quality as well.

We were two small families (4 adults and 2 kids) getting together for a weekend. This was the perfect place. Everything is as shown and described. But the owners have even thought of extra little touches, like night lights and wireless chargers. The kids loved the Zipline, and roasting marshmallows and hotdogs over the fire pit. The owners were very flexible/accommodating when we had to change dates. Also, I've stayed in cabins where the wifi/cable service basically was useless, but that wasn't the case here. Strong cell and wifi service. I would 100% recommend this cabin.

I was doing some early season birding in the Driftless Area and this cabin was a perfect home base. I originally made an error in my online booking and once I realized my mistake, Joe was super responsive and worked with me to correct things quickly.

Cabin was amazing! Had everything every age can enjoy. My husband and I love the back deck drinking our coffee in the morning and watching the kids play. It was private just for our family. Location of the cabin not to far from in town.
