About this cabin rental

Enjoy our floating cabin, located on the backwaters of the Mississippi River! This luxurious cabin was just built and has everything you need for a fun or relaxing getaway. This cabin has a custom kitchen, 3 queen beds, 1 queen sofa sleeper, 1 bathroom, and a beautiful rooftop deck with a hot tub!
It is located at Millennium Marina, which often features live music in the Summer. With being on the water, you will often see wildlife.

This custom cabin is located DIRECTLY on the waters of the Mississippi River. It is parked at our marina and DOES NOT MOVE.

You will have to walk on a dock to get to the cabin. Things are a little different than a typical "home", but its super fun! The roof may NOT be accessible at all times of the year (like when it is super cold, raining, or snowing). If there is ANY snow at all, we ask you be extra careful because it is a rubber roof. The rooftop area has a hot tub and outdoor furniture.
This rental is close to the restaurant and is connected to docks that customers park at.
NO EVENTS OR PARTIES ALLOWED AT THIS TIME.
We provide a coffee maker, toaster, stove, oven, and other kitchen items.

We also have boat slips available by the night or by the week. One uncovered slip is provided with your rental. PLEASE NOTE: we have no control of the river levels. This means that sometimes swimming is not possible because the water will be so low. Also, sometimes you cannot get your boat into our marina due to low water. If you plan on bringing a boat, please ask us if the water is deep enough. If you would like more details on how to check the river level, please message us.
Kayak rentals available from the restaurant on property, when they are in season. You get one free hour kayak rental for all registered guests (you can always ask about your specific time if interested in kayaks). Please ask about current restaurant hours if this amenity is important for you.

We have quiet time in the marina, and that starts at 10:00. We want everyone to enjoy the space and the water, so please be respectful of this time.

PLEASE NOTE- We are located on the Mississippi and WE DO FLOOD. We might have to cancel the reservation if flooding is in the forecast. The cabin will stay in the water year round! SWIMMING NOT ADVISED unless you understand the river and swim at your own risk. YES there will be bugs in the warm months! This cabin is DIRECTLY on the water. While we do our best to deep clean, there is no way to prevent the bugs outside.

Ask us about Pack-n-Play availability!

2 ski resorts are only a short drive away!

Just please note that this rental is DIRECTLY on water. Not recommended for very small children or unsupervised children.

This cabin does NOT move.

ALSO NOTE- With the boat being directly on the water, there are sometimes bugs. Not inside the boat, but yes you WILL see them outside. We do clean it thoroughly, but they pop up.

No shoes inside please!
Quiet time is 10 PM. Please respect the neighbors.

We stayed here 3/15-3/17 (4 adults, 1 child) and had an amazing time-we can’t say enough great things about the rental itself as well as the host. The unit itself is stunning and we were greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine and snacks when we arrived. The host, Samantha, was incredibly responsive and checked in from time to time to make sure we were well taken care of. We are local to the area and will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Location was perfect driving from Wisconsin meeting up with friends from Iowa. We had an amazing stay at Dubuque in our floating cabin. Starting with the hospitality of owner, staff everyone we came in contact with was really friendly. From the moment we walked in to the clean well decorated cabin we felt welcome & comfortable. Many activities to do in the area. We enjoyed kayaking right outside our cabin door. Delicious food and entertainment at the Millennium bar and Marina. It is only a short walk up the dock from cabin. We all agreed it would be a beautiful place to revisit in the fall to see all the leaves changing colors.

Stayed here with a group of 8 people for a weekend in December. The floating house was beautifully decorated and super cozy. It was stocked with so many essentials making it perfect for a weekend filled with games, movies, baking, and relaxation. The best part was the hot tub on the roof which was large enough for the group and had a great view of snowfall on the river. The house is just a short drive from the town square shops in Galena which made for a fun day out. Definitely recommend the floating house if you are looking for a unique place to relax and unwind!

This place is a hidden gem. Surprisingly spacious, lovely decor, and convenient to everything. Fell asleep nightly to the sound of water lapping at the dock and woke up to the gorgeous sunrise.

We really enjoyed this floating cabin! The decor inside and scenery outside was perfect. It was so peaceful it felt like you were hours away from town but in reality, it is such a short and easy drive into downtown East Dubuque IL. So much to do in the area. The hottub was a very nice was to end a chilly day.
