Was amazing! The view was great. The snow coming down (14in of snow during our stay) and watching all the deer come out in the field!!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·nov 2025
The house is nice, the beds are comfortable, the seclusion and view are great. One star off for 2 reasons: 1. We found the rule of "no shoes in the house and if we find out you've worn shoes in the house you may be fined" to be pretty unwelcoming and extreme. 2. The cleanup rules and the housekeeping tip envelope left for us to use on top of the cleaning fee was a little tacky.

Pretty, clean, comfortable.. nice scenic view.. good location outside Galena but still close to it
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·ago 2025
The cabin was just gorgeous and the view out the windows was perfect seeing the bluffs of Iowa on the other side of the river. We saw plenty of wildlife out the window as well. There were so many extra, thoughtful things around the house, beautiful beds with a tray and flowers, rustic wood beds with many assorted pillows, chocolates hidden under a welcome note, rocking chairs on the porch, a beautiful fire pit and a spectacular fireplace! The owner made us feel like we were staying in a warm and cozy home. This is the place you want to stay for sure.
