The Cottage at Dagget Hollow

07/09/2026

We’re thrilled to see The Cottage at Dagget Hollow featured in Great Rivers & Routes’ “Where to Stay Wednesday”!

Our little riverfront retreat was made for exactly what they describe—slowing down, soaking in breathtaking Mississippi River views, and unwinding after a day exploring downtown Grafton, Pere Marquette, and all the wineries, shops, and trails nearby.

If you’ve been craving a cozy getaway that’s an easy drive but feels worlds away, you deserve this. Choose the Illinois Suite for a couples escape, the Mississippi Suite for families and small groups, or the full cottage for up to six guests.

Hey St. Charles, St. Peters, and friends across the St. Louis region — getting to Grafton just got even easier! 🎉

The Grafton Ferry is open, which means less drive time and fewer miles between you and our charming little river town.

Come play, stay, and see what all the buzz is about!

The Grafton Ferry is open for business. It's a great day for a ride across the Mississippi River!

🌅 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬.

Pere Marquette State Park is 8,000 acres of towering trees, rugged limestone bluffs, and winding trails just waiting to be explored. There’s something that happens to kids when you hand them a trail and let them lead — they come alive in a way no roller coaster can touch. 🥾

And when the trail ends? Biking the Sam Vadalabene Trail. Spotting wildlife at the refuge. Ending the day with homemade fudge from the Grafton Fudge Shop. 🍫

These are the trips they’ll talk about for years.

The Mississippi Suite sleeps 4. The Dagget Cottage sleeps 6. Four-legged family members are welcome too. 🐾

💻 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.
The Mississippi and Illinois rivers meet just outside your door. The Sam Vadalabene Great River Road Bike Trail runs right across the street. Strong Wi-Fi, a quiet private deck, and fresh air — this is what a productive workday 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 looks like.

Start the morning with coffee on the deck. Clear your head at lunch with a stroll into downtown Grafton. End the day watching the sun sink over the water. 🌅

The Cottage at Dagget Hollow is built for remote workers, road warriors, and business travelers who deserve more than a generic hotel room. Bring your laptop, your partner, and yes — your dog too. 🐾
