Fantastic home!

We’ve been renting in the territories for our girl’s weekend for ten years. This is by far our favorite rental. The gathering spaces are perfect, the kitchen has everything you need, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. We’ll be back next year!The Darling Daisies

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.

Cozy winter weekend away

Beautiful home in picturesque location — loved watching deer and wildlife from the house! Wood fireplace and large kitchen were perfect for friends dinners, game nights, etc. Enjoyed some foosball matches and a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Thank you!

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!

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.
