25 minutes from Galena, nice private stocked pond with canoe and paddle boats available. Nice escape from the city with beautiful night time views and great hosts!
I stayed at this cabin over Thanksgiving with my family and our golden retriever. We couldn’t have been more happy with our secluded stay and with how great the hosts had been. We will definitely visit again.
We were so happy with our stay! The hosts were wonderful, always available. The home is secluded and quiet with great views. Our dogs loved all the space. We will be back!
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.
Kyle was great about communication and coordination, working with us at every turn to make our stay enjoyable. Property was well maintained, clean, and a great escape from the city.
The house and property were beautiful! We throughly enjoyed our stay! We also went to the winery and it was beautiful. Nice lake to swim and relax on. The owners of the house were very friendly and responded to questions promptly. Would highly recommend!
Kyle was an extremely welcoming host to my family and I. The property is gorgeous and the seclusion makes the experience very peaceful. My young children had the absolute time of their lives just playing in the lake, walking the property and seeing the wildlife. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be going back again in the future. Bonus- the fishing was excellent!
Kyle was very prompt with answering any questions I had. The cabin was very cozy, offered many extra amenities that most VRBO’s I have stayed at did not. If you’re looking for a secluded getaway, this is it! Our group was a tad disappointed that we were not able to partake in some wine tasting while during our stay, but we would love to revisit! We hope that we can book next year!! Thank you Rocky Waters Winery for everything!
The cabin had everything we needed and more. Wish we could have stayed longer. It's been on my bucket list to stay there since the first time we visited the winery years ago. Loved it
Everything was as advertised. Kitchen is well stocked and the place was clean. The winery is very nice and it was fun talking with the owners and hearing the history of the place. We had a blast hanging around the campfire at night. Definitely would stay here again.
