Enjoy your Private 4 Acres @ Owl Creek - Hot Tub, Fire Pit

Amazing home in a serene location - spread out enjoy the fire pit or long walks on the nearby trails. The new hot tub will also be a guest favorite or maybe the screen porch with a cup of coffee in the morning?

Great peaceful escape!

Our stay at the owl creek lodge was perfect for our yearly family trip. Very spacious with room for everyone, and we never felt crammed. Fully stocked kitchen, and they had everything we needed. We were surrounded my serene nature, but just a few minutes away from downtown Galena. Will definitely be staying again.

Summer Getaway

We enjoyed staying in Galena for a few nights and taking advantage of all it has to offer. This house was perfect- it had all the amenities we needed, was well kept, comfortable and spacious. We liked that it felt private and secluded but was close enough to the Territory’s activities. We will be back!

Friends Getaway

Every year we find a place in Galena to just hang out for the weekend. This one checked all the boxes! Large living space to watch all the March Madness we could handle, hot tub, huge kitchen. A comment from everyone was how comfortable the beds all were! Next year we won't be doing much looking around! We found a spot for many years to come with this gem!We did not get to utilize the fire place, but it would have been amazing! This property is very secluded as well.

Beautiful Home, Highly Recommended

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Your home is stunning! It was well described (online pics do not do it justice). Location is just miles outside of Galena but due to winding roads it is about a 15-20 min drive, which was expected. The entire property was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a girl's weekend getaway trip. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The hot tub was perfect and fit all of us. We did not take advantage of the fire pit, but had it not been so cold out we absolutely would have. We loved the coziness of the fireplaces. Great kitchen for cooking! Great supply of games. The only negatives were, the entry door is downstairs so heavy coolers and such needed to be carried upstairs to the kitchen (main floor), and the narrow winding driveway (3 cars fit just fine). Overall, we had a fabulous time and look forward to visiting again!

Pulled up to a perfect full rainbow set low among the trees on the side of the property. Hot tub is a nice perk that we used after returning from the pool. Home was immaculate. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Owner stocks more than a typical home rental which is very generous.
