Description from owner

Description

Kishauwau Country Cabins sits very near Starved Rock State Park and even closer to Matthiessen State Park. We are situated on 65 quiet, wooded acres on a bluff above the Vermilion River. Our cabins are nicely spaced to give everyone a sense of privacy.

Trading Post cabin is perfect for girls getaways or just a mid sized families vacation. This cabin offers 1 separate bedroom w/queen bed and 4 twin beds lining the corners of the walls out of the way in the living space. A firm maximum of 6 people. Every cabin here offers a full kitchen so you can bring in your own food & drinks. All cabins have their own personal outdoor bonfire pit, picnic table & grill. The wood stove inside your cabin makes for a cozy winter getaway (winter use only). All linens and cooking utensils are provided. Every cabin offers central heating and air conditioning.

Make Kishauwau your Illinois cabin rental go to spot. Private luxury cabins; beautiful, secluded surroundings; some dog-friendly cabins; and welcoming, friendly faces. These are just a few of the things you'll find at Kishauwau Country Cabins, moments away from Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks here in north central Illinois. Your vacation is what you make it, and all the ingredients are here.

Kishauwau is an unplugged getaway for people looking to get back to nature and enjoy each other and their surroundings. It is not a partying facility and it will not be tolerated.

We look forward to seeing you!

Getting around

Kishauwau's Starved Rock Area Cabins is off the beaten path so plan on having your travel arranged. You almost need to come in a vehicle as most of the cab companies are going to charge a minimum of at least $35 to take you one way to even the close by destinations.

Interaction with guest

I (Terisa) or my niece Brittany are the people you will speak with here. My husband and I are the owners & live right here on property with our family. Kishauwau is family built and has been in operation for over 30 yrs. We are here for our guests needs but leave you alone once you check in to give you that well deserved getaway you've been looking for. It depends on when you check in as to whether you speak with me or not. If I am not personally checking you in, everything will be pre-arranged so that your check in goes smooth. We are always happy to give insights on area dining and activities.

House rules

Here at Kishauwau Cabins we strive to provide our guests with an experience of a forgotten time. We are firm with our policies on offering our guests a tranquil, quiet getaway. We enjoy hearing families & friends out during daytime hours having a good time within reason but expect noise levels to always be kept considerate for neighboring cabins. We do not cater to bachelor/bachelorette groups or spring break/prom groups. Friends gatherings require all in the group to be a min. of 28 yrs. old.

Response from the owner All too understood. That is something we hear often. Most people book for longer the next time they come back. The thing that most people love about our place is that it is family run, which means not a lot of employees. People who have no knowledge of running a place like this don't take into consideration that if you want to check in around noon and don't want to have to check out until early afternoon there is no time for us to be able to clean the cabins. With 17 of them on property there is a lot to do in between people checking out and others checking in. We are always happy to call you if your cabin happens to be ready sooner and we do that all the time. I do hope you decide to give us another try and in our off season, check in begins at 2pm.
