This is the 3rd time Iâve been here, first with my family. Absolutely love it there! The private lake is amazing and the cabin is just the right size. We all enjoyed the lake and lots of outside activities. Highly recommend for a family or friends getaway!
Five years in a row now, and weâre already looking forward to next year. Such a relaxing and tranquil place. My grandson didnât want to leave, enjoying swimming, fishing, hiking, campfire with sâmores every night. So many stars at night, spotted the ISS, and a few shooting stars.
My family and I enjoyed our stay. Everyone enjoyed the lake, whether swimming, fishing, boating or just watching the fish jump. It was nice to unplug and unwind for a few days
I think this is our fourth year in a row and we are planning on making it five. Word to the wise though, donât leave your fresh farm stand corn on the picnic table overnight unless you want to make the raccoons happy.
We've stayed here before. Enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful lake. Kids loved swimming and fishing. Property manager was very responsive! Unfortunately, one of our family members had a allergic reaction to something inside the cabin (mold, dust?).
As you descend down the drive you become absorbed into tranquility. You immediately realize that this is your chance to become one with nature. The drive opens to the cabin and pond. You spend your team surrounded by nothing but nature. It was just what we needed and we got some amazing pictures and have some phenomenal memories to take us until our next adventure. Would definitely stay here again.
Weâve been renting this cabin for years and have stayed more times than I can count. Every time I pull into the drive, it feels like coming home, and Iâm sad whenever I have to leave. It is, quite simply, the perfect getaway.
This is our favorite place for our annual friends get together. We always have a great time enjoying hiking amd swimming on the property. Excellent communication with the owner.
The best part for us, is the solitude. The feeling of total relaxation. The only sounds, are the sounds of nature!
We fished, swam, hiked, had a campfire, sâmores, stargazed (bring binoculars, unbelievable the amount of stars seen, with no light pollution here).
The cabin is well furnished with anything you may need, and feels so cozy.
We are already looking forward to coming back next year.
Beautiful weather! As usual we had a marvelous stay! We always enjoy our stay here, this place is so close to our hearts! My husband thinks a few grass carp would be good for the lake.
Place was truly a getaway. Allowed us to take time to disconnect. WiFi went out for a night but we managed to survive! Loved how secluded the property is.
We canât get enough of this place. Itâs close enough to town for a trip for pizza and a visit to the old fashioned ice cream parlor and candy store, yet secluded from the rest of the world to enjoy peace and quiet. We love the fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, exploring, campfires and the family bonding time this wonderful place affords us.
We came across this rental as we were looking for a good central location for our long distance friends to meet at for summer vacation. We were so impressed by the cabin and lake! The cabin was well appointed, and the views from the deck and property in general is stunning! We had the most fun swimming in the private lake, and having such a wonderful backdrop to spend quality time with each other made this trip and location our favorite so far!
This was my 4th time at this place! Itâs such a unique place! Private lake, beautiful surrounding! We enjoyed our weekend and we were so sad we had to leave the place! The check in process was very smooth, the cabin was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. We really enjoyed watching the stars at night, and the peacefulness of the place! Thank you again for having us.
We always have a great time coming here for years! I will say this year it wasnât very clean and for the second year in a row, no propane was on hand. The property manager did bring some down though, when she brought the toilet paper we were out of as well.
Our family went on houseboat vacations cruising the Mississippi river and skiing at Chestnut Mountain Resort when we were growing up. We loved the area so much my parents looked at property to buy in the Galena area. The first piece of property they purchased was in 1966. The cabin was eventually built in 1983.
Our parents built a cabin for guests and family to stay in when they visited. After they passed away, we decided to rent the cabin out 5 months out of the year. We haven enjoyed vacationing there for many years and would like to share it with others.
