Vacation Rental Property with a Mississippi River View
Captain Young's Cottage in Albany, Illinois
Where you're away from it all, yet close to everything!
-
Captain Young's Cottage, located on the Historic Great River Road and adjacent to the Great River Bike Trail, is nestled in the heart of Albany IL, where the echo of the town's once rich river history can still be heard.
An easy two hour drive from the Chicago suburbs, the Cottage is centrally located for vacationers to explore the Mississippi River Valley, from Dubuque IA and Galena IL to the north, or south to the Quad Cities.
Scroll through the pictures at the top of the page for a glimpse of the Cottage. Available year round and currently offering weekend, weekly, or monthly rentals, the charm of the cottage -- along with its fully equipped kitchen and comfortable sleeping arrangements -- makes it an ideal hotel/motel alternative for outdoor enthusiasts, business travelers, or out-of-town guests.
So bring your boat or your bike, your hiking shoes or your Sunday best, and let your imagination feed your appetite for adventure. There's something nearby to discover and enjoy! Look for suggestions on our Activities page. We enjoy spending time in the Cottage and exploring the surrounding area with our family and friends, and hope that you will, too.
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud. ~ James Cavanaugh
