Beautiful & Cozy Cottage
The cottage was gorgeous and very clean. Beautiful view of the sunset on the lake. The property host was very helpful in answering all of our questions. We had a wonderful time and would love to stay again!

Perfect Place
My husband and I stayed at the Cottage for our 15 year anniversary, for a weekend in March. We wanted somewhere that would have things to do no matter the weather. This place has it all! We even got to watch a thunderstorm roll in off the lake, while sitting cozy on the massive porch.

Cute, spacious getaway with great views
It was clean, well kept and had great views. It is far from town, so be sure to pack accordingly.

Multiple stays, always wonderful
Our fifth or sixth time staying at the property, it is definitely our favorite in the Galena area. Always cozy and inviting, even in the middle of winter. We enjoyed grilling out, warming by the fire, and watching the ice fishermen out on the lake. Noticed new appliance upgrades this time around, which was lovely. Maybe one suggestion is to upgrade the mattress in the upstairs bedroom and possibly the shower handle. Other than that, always a treat.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway
This place was perfect for a weekend getaway. So cozy and the property manager was excellent to work with. The hot tub had trouble getting hot with how cold it was outside so we unfortunately weren’t able to use it but the jacuzzi tub in the master was a perfect backup. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful view
We spent the New Year’s weekend with friends at the house. The view is so beautiful and we enjoyed just sitting in front of the fireplace while we watched football. The location is great, the house has everything you need, and Galena is only a short drive for yummy food.

Could be anywhere
Mike & Skippy's place is truly fantastic. We escape there every December. We've been blessed to travel many places in the country. The view out of the window could be in Minnesota, the Smoky's, New England, or out west somewhere. We are blessed to have it in our "Illinois" back yard!
