The perfect weekend getaway or week-long vacation destination 25 minutes from downtown Galena. As you enter this 3 bedroom cabin the high ceilings will lead you into a waterfront view, with water views from every room you enter. Each space is uniquely curated to give everyone a sense of their own individual getaway while providing multiple gathering areas to hang out as a group. This cabin sits on the edge of the pond nestled amongst the forest on a private 50 acres estate. Open floor plan with fully equipped gourmet kitchen that includes an over-sized island for entertaining.
Indoor – The main floor features high vaulted ceilings, waterfront views, a walkout basement leading to your own private beach, and screened in porch for those indoor outdoor vibes.

Upper level living room is an open floor plan leading into the kitchen space, and the lower level living space is equipped with a bar including a sink and beverage cooler for all of your entertaining needs. The lower level is also equipped with a foosball table which is enjoyable for all ages.
Outside you can take advantage of the beautiful scenery and sounds of nature on our large screened-in deck, or grill out on the patio. Enjoy a fire at night with our solo stove. There is plenty of yard and parking space. The cabin is situated on 50 acres with trails and a newly built 2+ acre pond to swim and fish in the summer and ice fish and ice skate in the winter.
