Had an absolutely wonderful time at Kishawau this past weekend 5/3-5/5/13. We were in the Commanche cabin, one of the cabins that allows dogs as we brought ours with. The cabin was warm and inviting. A wonderful cast iron stove/fireplace! Beautiful views from the cabin of the lovely wooded area. Bed was comfortable with soft sheets and blankets and soft... More

The big selling point of this place is how quiet it is, and it is that. There are no phone in the cabins, and you're lucky if you can get cell service. There is no cable. It's wonderful if you want to get away and just enjoy the world around you. We stayed in the Trading Post cabin, which sleeps... More

We selected this place as we wanted a cabin in the woods with a whirlpool near Starved Rock State Park for Valentine's Day and made our reservation several months in advance. The gal who checked us in was friendly and welcoming. They had freshly made chocolate covered strawberries for sale in the office which were delicious! I would have bought... More

We traveled too Kishauwau in January as a winter getaway. Overall I thought the place was clean, cute, and well located for nearby attractions. It wasn't everything I wanted, but it wasn't a disappointment either. Pros: 1. Instantaneous hot water heaters: Unlimited hot water. Awesome for the jacuzzi tub. 2. Quiet, private. After dark there was no noise. The hotel... More

This was my third stay here. I love the area because it is secluded and peaceful. We stayed in the Americana cabin that overlooked the river. Out of the three cabins we have stayed in this was my favorite (so far) because of the view. The wood burning stove is so nice and makes it extra warm and cozy. The... More

It was almost everything you would expect from a secluded cabin. Quiet, nice wooded surroundings, clean, very comfortable beds, nice furnishings and decor and a well-equipped kitchen. There was a TV set that could be used only for watching videos that you borrowed from the office. Cell phones do not work here and wi-fi is available only in the office,... More

This was our first visit and stayed in a cozy cabin for two. Very quiet and peaceful and romantic! Serenity is advertised correctly. Here are my tips if you are coming for a stay: 1. No toiletries- soap was meager and no shampoo and no blow dryer! 2. Bring your own glasses- coffee cups but no wine glasses! 3. Wood... More

Staff was very friendly ang helpful.. Far enough away from things you can enjoy getting away. Close enough to major towns and Parks you can have the best of both world. We enjoyed our stay. Even in middle of a major drought was still beautiful. Look forward to returning..

Entering the complex of the Kishauwau on the Vermilion (one "l"), we knew this would be a place of solitude and nature. This is exactly what it was. We traveled with a family of 4 (including 2 children, age 15 and 8) along with a family of 3 (one child age 11). We considered it cabin camping...enjoying the outdoor world... More

Hubby and I started going to this place about 19 years ago. We started under the original owners Ben and Ellen King who were angels of host. Ben and Ellen's spirit still lives in this place however the new owners have done a great job and have added some changes. Ben and Ellen welcomed everyone as family. They literally never... More
