Beautiful and cozy cabin

The cabin is really nice. The fireplace was our favorite part on a very cold weekend and we stayed very cozy. There's other houses around but the windows look out to nice views of the woods and it felt very private.

Most secluded home in Apple Canyon Valley

We had a wonderful stay at this home located right by the woods. It also had great trails nearby, and the house is very well stocked with kitchen, utensils, and plenty of room.

Winter Getaway

We had a wonderful Winter Weekend away at this property. It felt very spacious with two families (4 adults and three children ages 3-8). The cabin is very beautiful and has so much character. We loved playing games and hanging out inside by the fire. The woods surround the cabin, and a path is directly next to it, which lead us to the creek and lake where we created our only hockey rink. Lots of animal prints to explore in the snow! We had a wonderful time and hope to be back next year!

Great location to Oak Hill Farm

We stayed at the cabin to attend a family wedding at Oak Hill Farm. With having adult kids in from out of town, it was great to have the one-on-one time with them away from the festivities when time permitted. We would highly recommend!

Family lake vacay

This is our third time staying at the Hideaway Lodge and it never fails to disappoint. There is enough space for our family of 6 inside and out. We loved walking down to the creek, going to the pool, and swimming in the lake. Dinner at the Cove is always a good time. Thanks again for a fun family vacation!

Family fun weekend

The cabin was the perfect lodging for our family weekend! Very cozy for us to all hangout & eat together. We found the area beautiful and took advantage of golf, swimming and our nite time campfire. As a grama, I loved sitting on the deck with the granddaughters & listening to the birds in the great tall trees. Great getaway from the city!

Spacious & Cozy Cabin with Fireplace and Jacuzzi tub

This was the perfect weekend getaway for our family (2 adults, 1 teen & 1 child & 1 pup). The open concept kitchen and family room boasts a beautiful fireplace. The cabin also sits right next to an access point that leads down to the water, where you can view the sunrise. Our girls also loved the swing and fire pit outside (also visible from the kitchen). We we enjoyed every minute of our time at Hideaway Lodge, and highly recommend ☺️

Cozy Cabin

The host was excellent about responding when needed, which was primarily prior to our stay. The house was very clean inside and on the deck. We loved sitting on the raised deck and listening to the birds. The home was a little further from the marina than tan our previous rentals, a scenic 10 minute drive. This home allows dogs but you would never know that dogs stay in the home. Again, super clean and cozy.

Beautiful new cabin!

Gorgeous cabin in the woods with all the amenities I needed for a tranquil stay! The home was clean and spacious. I love log cabins and this home hit all my check list items for a great Galena area vacation rental. The directions from the owners on how to get there were spot on. I’m already familiar with the area so it made sense to me though. Fire place was easy to use, I brought my own fire wood. I did make use of the nice tub in the master bathroom and it was relaxing, just wish the water had gotten a little bit hotter but that’s a personal preference. Everything about this home was lovely! The kitchen was well appointed with I really appreciate because I did cook while I was there. I appreciated that the home had throw blankets to cozy up near the fire with. The chair directly in front of the fire is THE MOST COMFORTABLE and I enjoyed reading a book drinking my wine and taking cat naps there. Thanks for a great relaxing stay.

This cabin is charming and beautiful. The views of nature and the tall trees are magnificent. It was the perfect place to decompress and detox from everyday life. I could come here 3xs a year easily and it would nourish my soul the way I need. The homeowners are top notch. This was a perfect weekend getaway.
