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! With three cozy bedrooms featuring two queen beds and one twin bed, with one queen and one twin air mattress as well, there’s plenty of space for everyone to relax. The cabin stays comfortable year-round thanks to heating and air conditioning. Freshen up easily in the bathroom, which includes a shower and a hair dryer. Whether you’re gathering for a quiet night in or planning your next adventure, this perfect cabin offers a fabulous home base. You’re sure to make fantastic memories with a stay at our place. Birdwatching, kayaking, fishing, and outstanding dining opportunities close to home makes this cabin a rare opportunity to enjoy some downtime. Wine makes for the perfect evening drink watching the river at The Fishtales Riverhouse, and a backyard campfire makes it complete. 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! The location of this quaint river cabin is what makes it peaceful and woodsy! 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. 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. Also, the Internet service available is satellite, and Verizon does have some service. T Mobile and AT&T is very spotty at best. Bring ice with you or there are also ice trays in the freezer. There is a coffee pot with coffee and filters. There is a Blackstone grill and a small charcoal grill.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Wireless internet access (surcharge) is available to keep you connected.
Make use of convenient amenities, which include charcoal grills and bike parking.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.
