About the host
Hosted by Your Host
We’re a family who has been coming to Apple Canyon Lake for over 10 years, and it has truly become our home away from home. Our kids have grown up spending summers here—golfing, exploring, swimming, fishing in the quiet mornings, and enjoying late-night bonfires under the stars. We love exploring nearby Galena, skiing at Chestnut Mountain, and soaking in everything this beautiful area has to offer year-round.
We’re excited to share our home with other families and friends looking to make memories of their own at Apple Canyon Lake. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do!

Why they chose this property
The primo location! You can spend your day renting a pontoon, fishing, hiking the trails, or playing a round of golf—and still be just a short drive from the shops, dining, and charm of downtown Galena. In the winter, we love heading over to Chestnut Mountain for skiing and snowboarding. It’s a year-round destination that never gets old no matter how many times we come back.
What makes this property unique
We’re just minutes from the lake, marina, and golf course, making it the ideal spot for families and friends who want to enjoy everything Apple Canyon Lake has to offer. Whether it’s morning coffee on the deck or 3 season room, evenings around the firepit, or game nights in the lower level, this home is all about creating memories. It offers the comfort of a lake retreat with the convenience of being close to all the best amenities.
