This was our second time staying at the rocky waters cabin and once again we did not want to go home. The hosts have thought of everything you would need and the entire process is painless. It’s a very peaceful experience and we will be back for a third time.

The small lake was perfect for the toddlers in the group. We were hoping to catch some fish while we were there, but that didn’t work out.

If you are looking for a very private property to allow your shoulders to relax, this is it! What a beautiful place! Kyle was very responsive and ensured we were settled in. I gave a little lower mark on the expectation just because the driveway to the property was quite steep and I feel that should have been communicated. We enjoyed coffee and beverages on the porch as well as down by the water. Our family had a wonderful visit and found the property to have just about everything to make it memorable. My only recommendation is to have nightstands, with coasters, by all the beds. We like to have water, by the bed, and a place to put our cellphones while they are charging. Thank you, Kyle, for making sure we were comfortable!

Very nice stay, everything was clean and well maintained. Winery is just up the hill from the cabin. Secluded location and private lake. This was a great spot for a long family vacation and pet friendly.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Our group of 7 people and 2 large dogs thoroughly enjoyed the property. The cabin is located on a large private estate, giving everyone plenty of space to relax and enjoy nature.Our dogs absolutely loved the extensive grounds where they could run, explore, and play freely. The men in our family had a fantastic time fishing and were excited to catch several good-sized fish during our stay.The location offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. While the property feels secluded and peaceful, it is still close to the charming town of Galena, where we enjoyed several excellent restaurants and local attractions.This was a memorable getaway for our entire family, including our four-legged companions. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to return in the future!Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that your family—and your four-legged companions—had such an enjoyable stay. It’s wonderful to know the cabin, grounds, fishing, and peaceful setting helped create lasting memories for your group. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are especially glad that the balance of privacy and proximity to Galena made your getaway even more enjoyable. As a special note, while Rocky Waters Winery will be closing later this month as we begin a new chapter, the Fisherman’s Cabin will remain available for rentals. We look forward to welcoming guests for many years to come and would love the opportunity to host your family again in the future. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing to stay with us!
