Our newly renovated floating cabin features retro vibes and beautiful views of the Mississippi River backwaters.

This cabin sits DIRECTLY in the water and is available for rent year round. Enjoy the nature around you while sitting on your private floating deck with a hot tub, or snuggle up inside in front of the electric fireplace and Smart TV.

This cabin features 2 bedrooms with queen beds, and a trundle bed in the living room with 2 twin beds.

Our rental is located at Millennium Marina.We renovated a floating cabin into a truly modern and usable space! You will be staying DIRECTLY on the water. While this brings an abundance of beauty, it can also bring bugs or other critters in the warmer months.

We have a full kitchen (no oven), and we provide the basic amenities for you like pots, pans, silverware, plates, and other cooking essentials. We also provide 1 bath towel per person and bed sheets. We provide one cotton blanket, so please bring extra in the colder months if you like a lot of blankets.

You will have to walk down a dock at our marina to get to the rental. It is located on the back side of our restaurant.



Sorry, no pets allowed.



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.

SWIMMING NOT ADVISED, but if you do swim, it is at your own risk.



WE ARE LOCATED IN A FLOOD ZONE. While flooding only usually happens in the Spring for about a week, we are located on a river, so that means we can flood at any point. We will have to rebook your stay if flooding is in the forecast.

“Beautiful location ”
This is a unique space that offers guests a beautiful location to enjoy. There are some updates that need done but it’s clean and comfortable with enough space to accommodate a small group. The host is very responsive and conveniently located in a gorgeous part of our beautiful state.

“You won’t be disappointed!”
Everything about our stay was outstanding! The online pictures matched the excellence of this place. There was a storm that rolled through, and the host Samantha checked on us to make sure we were ok and didn’t need anything. The host is so friendly. The fishing was amazing!What a relaxing place. We couldn’t have picked a better place to spend our 15th anniversary!

“Girls Weekend”
Where do I start? This was such a fun and relaxing place to stay. The Retro cabin was the perfect choice for our weekend. we didn't spend a lot of time at the marina, but you could definitely have a staycation here. I’ll definitely be coming back and have shared it with as many friends who are excited to stay too.

My friends and I had a great time! The area that the floating cabin is located felt private and the view from the hot tube was great. There’s a restaurant located next door to the cabin that is also a plus if you don’t want to cook! Samantha was a great host.

Samantha was extremely accommodating and fast to respond to anything we needed. Samantha and her husband made us feel right at home. We loved our place and the hot tub was great. The access to Galena or restaurants in Dubuque was only minutes away. We will definitely be back!!

It's such an amazing location and space for a getaway! Peaceful and laid back, and exactly what we needed to start our little "staycation." Samantha is so kind and communicative, and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into this business! Will definitely be returning to any of her floating cabins!❤️
