An authentic riverfront escape for outdoor lovers, anglers and bird-watchers

Unwind in Ashkum at this comfortable clean cabin. Completely renovated in 2025 to better than original condition and listed March 9, 2026 as a retreat for those in need of rest. Three sleeping areas featuring two queen beds and one twin bed, with one queen and one twin air mattress as well. Shower with softened water, whole-house water filter, hair dryer and curler. This property is 19 mins as per Apple Maps to Aldi and 20 mins from Walmart, which are the closest grocery stores, so bring groceries with you to save time! Come prepared and supplied so you can stay comfortably and not need to drive back to town later! This cabin is right on the Iroquois River, and as with any river can have fluctuations in river levels. Its massive basement walls and footers are built for extreme hydraulic pressure, and this cabin has never been flooded, the water has came as high as the fireplace clean out but never farther. Keeping steps to the pontoon dock is an extremely challenging feat because in the winter, spring, or summer, depending on rain, the water level goes from 3 feet to 20 feet so they are underwater with a current at times. With that being said, if you have mobility challenges the stairs may not work for you. The Internet service available is Starlink, and the Roku TV connects to it. Verizon does have service. T Mobile and AT&T are both spotty at best. This is not the place to run games that require massive downloads of data, Starlink will slow after priority data is used. There are ice trays in the freezer. There is a coffee pot with coffee and filters. There is a Blackstone grill and a small charcoal grill. This is a cabin, It is clean, relaxing, away from the grind of life, and my family loves it here. It is suitable for traveling technicians, nurses, any type of traveling worker, and we give a substantial discount for weekly and monthly stays! This cabin is connected to a generator that will run the entire house in the event of an emergency. The cabin has A/C and Orkin controls the bug population as this is a rural, woodsy area. The garage is available to use as well, and a great place to store your gear. There are two picnic tables in the garage, a large cooler, and soft evening lighting available.

The cabin was very clean, cozy, and peaceful! So relaxing being by the river. The kids loved kayaking. Loved that the cabin was out of town and had privacy. The host was very friendly and was timely on responses. We had to come down for my uncle's funeral and we realized that our family was from the same area as the host. Thanks again for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin! We plan on staying again in the future!

Cozy cottage on the river. Lovely swing to sit and watch the sun rise. Quiet, but make sure you bring groceries as there is not a store. We had to go about 30 minutes to get food. Only one restaurant in the town.
