Reviewer Comments: We had a great time spending a couple days in Galena. Owl Creek Lodge was in a great location and the house was clean and well-stocked with any supplies we needed. The kids enjoyed the firepit and hot tub, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We highly recommend Owl Creek Lodge. It was a great place to stay.

    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.

    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!
