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.

Nice, quiet place to stay

We stayed here due to the proximity to Starved Rock and Matthiessan State parks and enjoyed our stay. Big enough for 3 families and room for everyone to play outside. Would return without question. Thanks Teresa and Jamie.

New Years getaway

Our group was 3 couples we came to hang out and relax for a few days over New Years. The cabin worked out perfectly. Beds were very comfortable. Linens were provided. Kitchen was stocked with enough dishes and pots and pans. Water is super hard as they note. Wasn’t a problem for us other than made coffee taste horrible so bring your own bottled. Gas fireplace was not operational which was unfortunate so we sat around the fire pit instead. Cabin was plenty warm for winter, ceiling fans helped even the temp in the middle great room.. Oh and very little to no cell service at this location. Those that can’t live without their phone/internet may want to mentally prepare! They do have satalite dish with zillions of channels for watching TV. Would definitely stay here again for a group getaway.

Grandma's Cabin a hit with Grandma and family!

We thoroughly enjoyed this quiet, roomy, comfortable cabin! It was the perfect size for Grandma and Grandpa, their 3 adult daughters and spouses, and 5 teenage grandkids. Because of the heavy rains, we weren't able to hike as much as planned at Starved Rock and Mathieson State Parks, but we didn't mind spending more time at our beautiful cabin. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. This is definitely the place we'll stay the next time we're in the area!

Very nice escape from the City

this place is such a great place to spend time in the middle of the woods with your friends and kids gather around. Only 10 minutes from Starved rock state park where we went to hike and see the nice ice water falls. The cabins are just great, well equipped, very warm and so friendly. thanks to Terisa and her husband, who were very warm welcomed...

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!
