Comfy, cozy place

The fireplace was a highlight. We kept it going each day of our 3-night stay. Kids were disappointed there was no WiFi; however, adults were happy for the same reason. Phone service was weak but sometimes accessible from upstairs. The Owners Club was a hit with everyone!

Winter Getaway

We stayed at Boulder Creek for a quick family getaway and had the best time. It was just what our family needed. My husband and me, 3 teenage daughters, and in-laws enjoyed the rustic cabin theme set in a winter wonderland. The teens loved the “vintage” decor and technology. They enjoyed the large selection of DVDS and CDs that are from an era they don’t personally know. The house was perfectly stocked for making family meals. The house was close enough for skiing at Chestnut Mt and shopping in downtown Galena. Everyone would love to come back. Ginger was very helpful and responded quickly to questions. Thank Yiu.

Family getaway

We had a great time at this house! Plenty of cooking and eating space in the kitchen and the kids really enjoyed the play area. Located so close to the pool and golf course and just a short drive into downtown Galena and over to Iowa.

Family Vacation

The inside of the house was very clean, well stocked, and above what was described-even ice cube trays were filled for us! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of entertainment items available. Nice hospitable touches were throughout the house. Customer service call before arriving was a welcome touch as well. As an outdoor living family, we thought the outdoor space was lacking the same attention. There was a small firepit in the middle of 2-3 ft weeds off to the side of the house, the upper deck had not been swept in a while ( more than just random leaves ), and the lower deck space had sparce furniture and 2-3 ft weeds in the gathering area. Paying attention to the outdoor space would make this wonderfully located and private residence even better.

Great summer getaway for a large family

We had a large group, so we needed to find a large house with enough bedrooms to accommodate us. This house has four bedrooms to sleep eight. There might also be a pullout that we did not use. The location is just a short 15-minute drive to Galena, which was great, because once we were outside of Galena there was virtually no traffic. We all appreciated the pool table in the basement, and the coffee table on the main level was large enough for a puzzle. (You'd be amazed how much less time folks spend on their phones when there is a puzzle laying around.) All in all, a great four-night stay! The owners are great to communicate with, very responsive, and gave us a lot of tips on shopping, the owners' club, etc.

The BEST Vacation Home EVER!

We have rented many vacation homes over the years and in a variety of locations from the beaches of NC to the mountains of WV to miner's cabins in Mineral Point, WI, as well as other homes in the Galena Territories. Everyone agrees -- this was the BEST place by far! We had 5 adults staying at the cabin, as well as 2 teens, and 2 children under 6. We had lots and lots of space -- movies and pool in the basement, cards around the table, chatting, reading, and listening to music in the main living space. I really appreciated (having driven 14 hours) arriving at a cabin with toilet paper, made beds (yes, I have had to make my own beds upon arrival!), paper towels, soap - and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need - pizza cutter (yes, I have had to purchase in the past!), wine/bottle/can openers, pots, pans, baggies, saran wrap, pens, paper. It really is like staying at your family's vacation home - warm, inviting, stress-free. And to top all of that off it is SPOTLESS, bug-free, and absolutely cozy and beautiful! Our family enjoyed many of the activities over the July 4th weekend the territory and neighboring communities had to offer - the pool, rodeo, pancake and parachute breakfast, fireworks, parade, and walking around quaint Galena. It was truly a memorable week! We will be back! Thank you!

It was a perfect stay, the house met all our needs and we had a blast. The only thing was we forgot a bluetooth speaker and there wasn't one in the house. They had a great sound system and a bunch of cds to save the day. The house was so cozy and we would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Tranquil Trails Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
We are a city couple with hectic and crazy schedules that absolutely needed a secluded and peaceful place to retreat. We are a unique combination of a music promoter & rock and roll musician. As a result you will find a chic melodic tone flowing through our home! Though our schedules still keep us on the go we are working hard to free up as much time as possible to enjoy our vacation home. When we can’t do that, we invite others to enjoy it in our place and feed our wildlife friends.

Why they chose this property

We love the outdoors, hiking, and nature of all variety. Galena and its surrounding area provide a treasure of nature preserves and hiking trails. Pioneering is never disappointing! We are always discovering new areas and bountiful unspoiled lands to explore. The business exec among us is happiest when on the golf course and when we found an area that provided both, in generous measure, we knew we found our paradise. Our interest in genealogy and local history is fed by Galena’s many historic sites, and you’ll find a montage of our ancestors gracing a wall upstairs.

What makes this property unique

Every vantage point whether on the inside or the outside of our home, offers a panorama of tall woods that change with every season. We could not have chosen a better spot to relax, savor our limited free time, commune with nature and appreciate the wildlife that we love so much. Boulder Creek is certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
