Fun getaway!

Place was just as described. Owners are super responsive. Hot tubbing post-skiing with the falling snow was a highlight. Also cross-country skied the beautiful trails, which are quite close to the cabin.

Galena Cabin Favorite

Our stay was great. The cabin is very clean and well kept. The only issues that we had was the grill never came up to heat might need the gas burners cleaned out and the dryer in the basement took about 3 times to get clothes dry. We LOVE coming to this cabin as this is the 2nd time to rent and we our planning to rent again. Thanks for the great stay and letting us use your cabin.

Just Okay

This property was clean and all systems worked except the gas fireplace. The place is exactly as pictured. Everything and I mean everything in this rental is dated to the 80’s and so very tired. The log home is of good quality with a nice layout but everything is old and low quality…not up to current standards. The grill and hot tub worked well. The beds are awful and have foam toppers that make the beds hot and uncomfortable. Two have footboards(inconvenient for us tall people) and all are queens with poor quality sheets and bedding. The gas fireplace log set is very old. The pilot light blew out as soon as we opened the glass doors. We know how to operate gas and electric fireplaces as we have 3 in our own home. We did not attempt to use it. Looked too risky. The fire pit was uncovered and filled with old wet ashes. The log pile was not covered so there was no dry firewood. We could not start a fire. The pool table is very old and in poor condition. We still had fun but it was an interesting game of nine ball. Would not return…this is my honest opinion and meant to help others. We spent over $1,000 for 2 nights in November for two people. Had to buy damage insurance for a house full of old items.

Great Cabin Vibes

This rental is exactly as advertised. Though our stay was short, it immediately felt comfortable and we all settled in quickly. It’s tucked away amongst beautiful trees and wildlife, yet close to Galena and all it offers. We all agree we want a longer stay next time! Messages to host were answered quickly!

Perfect home for couples getaway

The house has all the touches to make your stay comfortable. With 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, each couple had private space. The deck and screened porch were lovely as our weather was in the 70s.

50th Anniversary Celebration

We stayed at the log cabin for a week for my parents 50th anniversary, and we had a great time! The cabin is cozy yet spacious, really liked the 3 bedrooms and baths all on different levels. We also loved the screened in porch, we had coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening out there every day! The location of the cabin within the territory is also nice, it’s close to the Owners Club and marina. It’s a beautiful area and you feel like you’re in the secluded woods with all the trees surrounding the cabin. We golfed, swam, boated, shopped, and ate some great meals - both off the grill and at restaurants downtown ;) We made many memories and would definitely come back!

Wonderful cabin

My sister and I stayed here for a girls weekend with our teen and preteen girls. We had a wonderful time. The house was clean and fully stocked with all you would need. The hosts replied immediately when we had a question. The kids enjoyed the pool table and we all enjoyed the hot tub. It was a wonderful cabin in a beautiful area. Thank you!

Relaxing weekend

First time in this area, it is very pristine community, plenty to do when you combine the amenities the area offers then include the different communities like Galena. The home is well balanced, I especially liked that it had 3 sperate levels of the house with its own bedroom, bathroom, sitting area and privacy. While in a neighborhood the lots are exceptionally large, and this home is somewhat divided off from the others giving you a feel of privacy. Be sure to take advantage of the owner's club, very nice.

Beautiful weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. We were able to relax in a beautiful setting while having access to downtown Galena. The fact that it’s set back in the trees is a huge plus. The hot tub was perfect and pool table was a blast. TONS of games to choose from and ready to play. Spent lots of time playing charades in front of the lovely fireplace. Loved this place !!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Stacey O'Keefe

Mike grew up in Chicago and Stacey in Sterling, IL. We currently reside in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago with our 3 children.

Why they chose this property

Our dream was to own a log cabin in Galena and after staying at this beautiful property for many years, we purchased it in 2021! This well-built property by Robert Johnson Builders and has all the perks of a great vacation home getaway.

What makes this property unique

The Galena Log Cabin is in the Resort Core close to the owner's club (fitness center, indoor/outdoor pool) and just feet away from miles of hiking trails. Also, since it is in the Galena Territory, the Cabin is very close to Eagle Ridge Resort where guests can enjoy golfing, spa, restaurants and sledding in the winter.

The house is whimsically decorated for all to enjoy and comfortable for guests of every age. The open floor plan allows guests to enjoy meals in each other's company, however the bedroom suites provide private space.
