I’ve stayed at a lot of rental places in my life but nothing came close to the Timber Ranch. Great communication with the owners, perfect location, and had a ton of space for the bachelor party. Highly recommend staying here!

Our family had an amazing stay at the Timber Ranch! The house has that wow factor the moment you walk in - soaring ceilings, an open layout, and beautiful natural finishes throughout. We had 8 adults and 3 kids, and it fit all of us comfortably with room to spare!Jana and Mike were incredible hosts - so responsive both during booking and throughout our stay. Truly above and beyond with their hospitality.The location was perfect - a short drive to downtown Galena with plenty to do nearby. We played a round at The General and even went on a goat hike - both were unforgettable experiences!I highly recommend the Timber Ranch and would absolutely stay here again!

We did a girls retreat at this amazing property Timber Range. From the moment we made a reservation, the owner contacted us to welcome and offer if we need any information about the area. Jana and Mike are not only great communicators they are lovely, open people. As the property is across from their horse farm we also were able to tour the stables with them. About the property itself it is Beautiful, Spacious, Spotless. Location and landscapes are unbelievable. the Beautiful, large deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee, panoramic views, incredible sunset and in our case for morning yoga, and afternoon sessions. We definitely will be back.

We had an unforgettable stay at the stunning Timber Ranch! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the peaceful surroundings, gorgeous landscapes, and thoughtful touches throughout the property. The home itself was beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying coffee on the porch with panoramic views was a daily highlight. The sunsets were incredible, and the night sky was filled with stars—perfect for unwinding around the fire pit. The host was welcoming, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape, family vacation or a getaway with friends this ranch has it all. We can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property in Galena, IL. The home is spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, offering plenty of room for our group to spread out and relax. The layout is perfect for larger groups or families, with each bedroom providing comfort and privacy. The highlight for us was the large deck and the hot tub – we spent the mornings and evenings unwinding in the tub, and the expansive yard was perfect for outdoor games and enjoying the fresh air.The location was ideal—just a short drive to downtown Galena, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The house is well-maintained and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay feel special. Whether you're looking to relax or explore the surrounding area, this property has everything you need for a memorable getaway. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Galena!

Most AMAZING property that has it ALL!

This property is truly a gem, making us feel at home yet at a 5-star resort! We traveled for a last minute July 4th holiday visit to see family in Dubuque and hit an absolute jackpot in the Galena Territories! The house was perfect for our three 20-something kids, spouses, and our first 7 month old grandson. The rooms are all huge, the beds were extremely comfy and there were so many special little touches! Mike and Jana were amazing hosts, providing yard and board games and helpful suggestions of local events and attractions to maximize our experience. They thought of everything from having a pack-and-play in a built in quiet room for little ones, a comfy nursing chair, to a shower chair for senior or injured guests. The view was impeccable and they created a perfectly manicured walking trail on the grounds. The hosts live across the way where they have beautiful horses to admire. Their love of horses inspired their theme for the lodge. We felt very blessed to spend time in this home to celebrate our matriarch’s 83rd birthday!
Our amazing hosts brought us champagne to celebrate their first guests.
What a beautiful deck to watch the sunset!
A beautiful trail to go hiking, just off the back yard.

We had an excellent stay. The moment you walk in the door you are greeted with beautiful, vaulted ceilings, fireplace, wrap around deck, and a horse stable next door. The house is built with every detail in mind.The owners are kind and friendly, with quick response to questions. We used Galena Winery Tours for a fun day, went to downtown Galena for a ghost tour, and saw the Halloween parade.

About the host

Hosted by Jana and Mike Johns

Host profile image
We live in the Galena Territory next door to Timber Ranch. Next door is still quite a distance away since both properties cover 50 acres. This will allow us to bring a personal touch to our guests. We want them to experience all this area has to offer as well as a flavor of the horse ranch life style when you are not golfing, shopping, skiing, horseback riding, etc. We will be glad to help arrange activities when ever possible. There is so much to do and see in this area, let a "local" help you figure it out.

Why they chose this property

The property offers a secluded retreat with breathtaking night skies and stunning sunrises. The private trails behind the house are perfect for quiet walks,

What makes this property unique

Timber Ranch is designed for people who want a little more than a place to stay. If you're looking for a getaway the feels special, personal, and a little out of the ordinary - this is the place for you.

You can wander the private trails that wind through nature just beyond your back door. You can bring your horse with you (a guest pasture is on the property) with plenty of room for your horse trailer and miles of trails to ride.
