Stunning lake view
My wife and I had a lovely visit. The property was a great home base for leisurely exploration of Galena and the surrounding area. Time spent on the back porch overlooking the lake was our favorite.

Perfect Place
My husband and I stayed at the Cottage for our 15 year anniversary, for a weekend in March. We wanted somewhere that would have things to do no matter the weather. This place has it all! We even got to watch a thunderstorm roll in off the lake, while sitting cozy on the massive porch.

Pictures did not show how spacious and open this lovely cabin is. I can't wait for a return trip! If i could say one thing that would have made it better, it would be a king size bed in downstairs bedroom.Everything else was PERFECT!

Perfect Place for Vacation
Amazing, just amazing. While familiar with the area, we did not realize that there was the perfect home for a planned vacation that provided an amazing deck with a view (we spent a lot of time here), comfort and space in the master suite. Space throughout the house and the multiple level of decks. We were amazed at the privacy of the location of the house. A true retreat. This will be the only place we stay for our annual trip to Galena going forward.

Wonderful place to stay. Location is perfect. Close to lots of things to do. Favorite activity for me was to read on the covered back deck as it rained looking out over the lake.
