Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
This custom log cabin is the perfect getaway for friends & family seeking the solitude of the Galena Territory and fine dining and shops just 10 minutes away on Galena's Main Street. Each of the 3-levels offers an owner's suite with bath. Cozy up to 2 fireplaces, grill on the deck, or make 'smores at the firepit. The cabin has high speed, fiber internet and the lower-level walkout features a 55” flat screen TV. Guests can access swimming pools & pool tables at the Owner's Club 7 minutes away.

The space
Tucked into the rolling hillsides of the “driftless” region this beautifully crafted log cabin is an irresistible hideaway at the edge of the 6,800-acre Galena Territory. The striking Great Room boasts vaulted ceilings, plush furniture, a fireplace and pastoral views of the valley by day, or hours of stargazing through the telescope at night. Throughout the home, you’ll find unique pieces like custom Amish furniture made from 150yr old barnwood and antler chandeliers that give this log cabin an extra touch of rustic character. Retreat to one of two decks for a steaming mug of your favorite hot drink, or a glass of wine. Each of the three levels offers a king suite with bath, sleeping a total of up to 10 guests. The lower-level walkout features heated floors, a 55” flat screen TV and a second fireplace to cozy up to as you binge your favorite Netflix series, or gather round for family board game night. While the kitchen is the perfect place to cook a romantic dinner for two, the rustic dining table is large enough to accommodate the entire family.

Guest access
As a guest, you'll have access to the entire home, with the exception of the garage. You will also have access to the private Owner’s club, which overlooks a wide valley in the heart of The Galena Territory and houses recreational facilities for year-round enjoyment. Rent a pontoon on Lake Galena, horseback ride, or hike one of the more than 20 miles of private trails. Be sure to keep an eye out for colorful wildlife from deer, fox, coyote, wild turkey, owls, and bald eagles. The Pool/Recreation Complex includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, locker rooms, a snack bar with indoor and outdoor patio seating, and three pools. The outdoor activity pool has a double slide and in-pool seating area. The zero-entry kiddy pool has bubblers and a frog slide, and the indoor pool is open for swimming year-round. To round out your recreation options, the Owners’ Club has an indoor court to accommodate basketball, pickleball, or volleyball, an arts and crafts room and game room with pool and ping pong tables as well as a video arcade. The business center offers a quiet retreat with two computer stations, plus the entire complex offers free wireless Internet connectivity. Outside you’ll find ample parking, two tennis courts, a basketball court, and a small playground.
