While heading back to Hobart Indiana, we were in a fog advisory and couldnt see so had to get off the highway. we parked by a lounge and rested our eyes for a few minutes. Welk within that time our van broke down. I had no internet services on the phone for some reason to get an uber. So I taught my daughter what a cab was all about and the main driver answered right away to get us to a hotel, it was 22 degrees outside and he was there in 5 minutes. Well with no internet I couldn't transfer $ and only had my card on my phone. Not only did he wait until the following day for his $, he was able to get us a Hotel that manually worked with my debit and allowed our new puppies in. We were in trouble and his connections literally saved us and our new pups. Good night of slee, safe pups, and Wifi at the hotel secured our transfers and got our van fixed in the morning. We left him double what he asked at the hotel and thought this guardian angel deserved the best review we could give. Thanks again we are home and happy

Check-in was at 4. It was self check-in and super easy. The cabin was clean, and everything was in order. The office was closed by the time we got unloaded so we didn't go. It is open for guests to borrow movies or puzzles or purchase firewood. We met one of the owners the following day. Very friendly and lovely lady! I forgot my hair dryer and she lent me one. There were trees surrounding the cabin area, a swing on the front porch, a grill and picnic table in the backyard, and there is a 2-person jetted tub along with a shower stall inside. It had such a comfortable feel to it. Full kitchen and a table for 4, a small TV and a blu-ray player, and a comfortable full sized bed. The couch was a futon, so if you need another bed, it's ready to go! There was enough space to set up our large crate for our dog. We stayed at the Zonta cabin. Overall, I had such an enjoyable time. Nothing beats waking up early in the morning to some fresh, cool air, the trees swaying gently and a nice stroll with the doggo away from traffic and car horns honking and people hurrying to get to places. I got a lot of peaceful reading time done, about 4 hours' worth of hiking in 2 days, and worked on some puzzles we borrowed from the office. I absolutely recommend this cabin resort for a relaxing getaway!

My friend and I spent two nights recently in one of the smaller cabins, looking for a peaceful,…read morecountry-oriented break from the big city. I'm very happy to report that Kishauwau's cabin fit the bill nicely. Kishauwau is what I've been describing as a cabin development. There are about 15-16 cabins in an area that backs up to the Vermillion River. In fact, the ravines behind some of the cabins are very steep. Anyone with small children will have to keep a close eye on the kids every minute they're out back. The scenery is spectacular, but oh boy, you don't want anyone sliding down that ravine. Our cabin had all the basics we needed -- a double bed, a fold-out futon couch, a big bathtub with a separate shower, and a kitchen stocked with plates, silverware, pots and pans, dishwashing liquid, and more. Every cabin has a outdoor fire ring, a grill, a porch swing, chairs, and a picnic table. The larger cabins had several chairs and tables. We had a TV with a DVD player -- you can borrow DVDs from the plentiful supply in the office building. NO INTERNET! If you can't live without access to instragram, you will be out of luck. So, be sure to plan ahead for ways to entertain yourself. I should also mention that the cabin was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The grounds are neat and well-maintained. The office has simple supplies for sale such as toothpaste, shampoo, etc., along with some snacks and drinks. There is also a small gift shop. I've already recommended Kishauwau to two friends here in Chicago. I'm very happy to recommend it to you, too.

Now its just a confusing mess unless you are a local or live in the area. Man i can't imagine being from out of town and stopping in there. Besides being a motel that gets used by hunters during shotgun deer season and a few construction crews every now and again i don't know how it remains open . Let me sum it up... Go here if your looking for a rough crowd in the basement bar and like ordering your room from the bartender so every biker in there knows where your staying . I f you are somewhat sane and like places that actually have an office and check in area with someone to help you.. look elsewhere..!.. Princeton and Spring Valley both have better. My experience i came into a stairway with a hand written note that said ''This WAY TO HELL' with an arrow pointing down the stairs. Yes i continued downstairs to a small bar with about 6 bikers who all stared at first like who the hell is this guy? I ordered a beer sat down and waited for my buddy from Aurora who was on his way down to deer hunt with me and stay at this place. After 1 beer the old crazy biker lady 2 seats to my left slid her empty shot glass down to me .. i immediately slid it back , this went on 3 or 4 times until she stood up in a drunken rage and tried to get in my face when her husband grabbed her and apologized . No big deal but i cant imagine wanting to sit through that to get a room ,because that's how it was a few yrs back you get your room downstairs from the bartender. Can't imagine being from out of town , needing a room and going through all that ,or being a non-drinker or having kids and having to haul them to the bar for a dang motel room. What a complete joke!! and a bad one at that. Unless they have completely changed this place and the owner could provide pictures of how friendly it is now , stay away from this place unless you love trouble.

At the first stop we saw the dried up I and M canal where the only mention of ghosts was that the workers who died building the canal were buried in the canal. The highlight of this stop was the washroom in the old toll house. Second stop was a tiny graveyard next to a truck weigh station. We saw where Tom's family was buried. Last stop we saw the grave of a Texan who had been killed in the Civil War. There was nothing ghostly about this tour. Either the Ottawa area has nothing to offer in this regard and this tour doesn't need to exist. Or this tour operator should rename this tour. Not sure what I'd call it. As a history buff, I have taken other graveyard tours and they were far more interesting. One tour I took had graveside reenactments of the people buried there. In this case, it's hard to believe they charge $35 per person for so little information. What may be a well meaning venture to promote Ottawa's history was not a ghostly graveyard tour.
