Set on a beautiful seven acres of wooded hillside, Homestead Hideaway offers you a unique opportunity to rest and relax within a peaceful setting. Located just 15 Miles from Galena, Illinois, our cabins in the woods can be your home away from home while you enjoy Galena, Chestnut Mountain, hiking, wineries, and all the other amenities Jo Daviess County has to offer.

When you stay at Homestead Hideaway, you can simply relax in our cozy rustic cabins, or get out and enjoy everything the area has to offer. At Homestead Hideaway you can expect a tranquil feel and a stress free retreat. The cabins are located in a beautiful rural area where it is perfect to have a cup of coffee or tea in the mornings and enjoy the wildlife. Let our cabins be a place to unplug from the world and help ensure you have a relaxed and secluded stay. We have fiber Internet, but do not have cable TV.

We have two historic cottages located on the property and three separate rentals. The cabins are located on opposite ends of the property. You can enjoy the seven acres of wooded area by hiking or taking your dog for a walk. Whether you are planning a romantic trip to Galena, a golfing trip, a couple’s getaway, a wine lovers weekend, or skiing at Chestnut Mountain during the winter months, Homestead Hideaway will accommodate to your needs.

We have decided to go beyond the brochure advertising and word of mouth and work with VRBO for our rentals. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

The Gleneagle Suite is our honeymoon/weekend getaway suite. It is a studio style rental. It is the bottom unit of our cabin with the Seven Sisters Suite. It has a full kitchen, living area, dining area, bathroom and a full size bed in a studio style setting. The sofa in the Living area is a sofa sleeper --so this rental could accommodate 4 guests.

The top two levels of this cabin is our Seven Sisters Suite which is also listed on VRBO #623038 & our other cabin on the property is listed as the Brimeyer Cabin vrbo #624141

Though cell service can be spotty, there is fiber internet.

We have passes available for ACL Nixon beach (15 minute drive) and ACL pool. Open memorial day- labor day each year. You must speak to host prior to arrival for information. You must have tags and parking passes for these amenities and there is a fee from security deposit IF YOU LOST TAGS

    Danesa was great and easy to get ahold of! I texted her directly about what we liked and what could be improved upon in the suite and she was appreciative of my message! The suite was in a great location for visiting Galena and for a wedding we attended over the weekend.

    Loved our stay here at this stunning location. It was very peaceful and serene. Our dog loved it too! We could just let him roam around without a leash because the area is so quiet--no cars, just cows. We will definitely be coming back to this lovely VRBO.

    My partner and I had a wonderful long weekend stay in the cabin. It is very secluded with little to no cell service. We were not surprised by it, this information was given beforehand by the host. That being said the movies that were provided were greatly appreciated. There was good selection of different genres. There is a landline in case of any emergency. Overall we had a very relaxing weekend. It was an amazing opportunity to completely disconnect and enjoy some time together.

    Quaint old cabin in hill country. Stone walls. Adequate kitchen and charcoal grill. 20 minutes from everything we wanted to see and beautiful roads. Must be fabulous when greenery is lush or fall colours.

    This property is in the perfect location to disconnect from the outside world and take time to reconnect with each other! No internet made the perfect way to spend a weekend together, but not far from Galena where there is plenty to experience. Would recommend this to anyone!

    Overall -this is such a great place to stay. Super cozy and warm. Falling asleep listening to cows mooing in the distance against the backdrop of the brightest stars and clear skies-we were instantly relaxed. No wifi , cell service , television really allowed us to catch up on some reading. Galena is a short drive and totally worth it . Very well kept property, clean and stocked with utensils and other items needed for your visit . Make sure to bring toiletries ,no soap or shampoo. Would definitely stay again

    Lovely quiet surroundings, rustic, in the country away from everything. But not too far away -- Galena is less than 30 minutes away and Elizabeth is just a few minutes away. This place is definitely in the country. We enjoyed seeing the cows, deer, raccoons, birds. The hosts are generous in their hospitality, providing little extras such as fire wood, chocolates, and an assortment of movies to watch. No data available and the wifi was down the weekend we were there. We enjoyed this but this is just a heads up if you are thinking of doing any online work while you get away. We would come again (perhaps with friends since they have 2 other rentals on the same property).
