Fantastic
Communication, location, and cleanliness all outstanding! Very comfortable and everything you could possibly need to cook meals. Road is close enough by to travel easy but far enough you don’t hear traffic. Private and gorgeous. The binoculars on the mantel were great to spot an eagle. Don’t miss this one.

About the host

Hosted by Barry Donovan

Host profile image
The Kickapoo Valley has a special place in our hearts as we grew up here and came back to raise our family in this beautiful area. We have three grown boys who love to visit and enjoy the Kickapoo Valley and all it has to offer. We love to share this unique property with family and friends and welcome you to join us too.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this piece of land several years ago from friends and neighbors, and built the cabin bit by bit over the years with the help of many friends, family, and local craftsmen. We enjoy it's beauty and want to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

This setting is like no other. We have a top quality trout stream steps from the front door. Abundant wildlife in every season. The views are gorgeous all around. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the porch, watching the wildlife, hearing the sounds of Bear Creek trickling by, enjoying a fire in the fire pit after dark, and just relaxing.
