We had a wonderful experience at this cabin! The host was extremely friendly and helpful, answering all our questions quickly. The location was perfect — close enough to downtown Galena for easy access, yet private and peaceful away from the hustle.The home was spacious and well-appointed, with five bedrooms and bathrooms, a comfortable living area, and a separate family/game room that the kids absolutely loved. We also enjoyed the treeline setting and spent a lot of time relaxing on the covered deck.Overall, a great experience — we’ll definitely be back!
