It was a beautiful cabin but the GPS address does not take you to the right place , so it was alittle hard to find with a hidden entrance. No shoes are allowed in the cabin so bring slippers. The showers are huge but not enough towels so bring some if you have more than 2 people staying . Otherwise it was peaceful clean and definitely would love to stay again .

This cabin is even more beautiful in person. The views alone are gorgeous. Kitchen was well provided with utensils, pots, pans and silverware. Ample firewood was provided as well. The only thing we ran out of is toilet paper, so you may want to bring your own. Towels are provided, but not toiletries. They provided us with a cell phone in the case of emergency, which was very thoughtful as cell phone service is quite unpredictable in Galena. Thank you for a great stay. The beds were so comfortable, that we may need an upgrade at home!

This is a beautiful home with ample space, comfortable furnishings and beds. The kitchen had everything needed. The outdoor patio and fire pit totally captured our evenings. Plenty of space for games. The location is a perfect half way between downtown Galena and Chestnut Mountain. The Aiken trail head for the Galena River Trail was close and easy to find and the path is mostly crushed limestone. Go for a run or bring your bikes. We enjoyed our summer trip to the fullest and hope to go back in the winter for a ski trip. The owners welcome note was very nice and they were very responsive when we sent a few texts with questions. Always ask questions, owners want you to fully enjoy their homes and enjoy your trip. We will be back!

The Cabin is just great. We had a great time. Everything was just as described. It's perfect for outdoor games and activities. The inside felt very homey, yet modern! Everything you need for cooking is there and available. Check in and out was easy. Thanks again!
