Create amazing memories at Mirror Lake Vacation Retreat, a breathtaking 13-acre private estate, featuring your very own 3-acre private lake, complete with lakeside amenities like a sand beach, dock, kayaks, peddle boat, fire ring, and gazebo. Oh, plus there\`s the 4,500 ft2 custom home with multiple porches, an 8-person outdoor hot tub, huge yard, walking trails, and a stand-alone game cottage complete with a pool table, shuffleboard, ping-pong, air hockey, and more! Mirror Lake Retreat is loaded with amenities to ensure a wonderful stay. The large home features custom touches throughout, high-end finishes, and comfy, inviting spaces. On the main level you\`ll find 2 bedrooms with queen beds, 2 full bathrooms, the fully stocked kitchen/dining/coffee bar area, and a large living room with a child\`s play corner. The main level also features large front and back porches, perfect for that early morning coffee or relaxing throughout the day. In the upper level you\`ll find a loft overlooking the kitchen and the third bedroom with a queen bed. In the walk-out lower level you\`ll find the 4th and 5th bedrooms, each with queen beds, a full bathroom, and a second family room with separate game area. The laundry is also in the lower level. On the outdoor patio is the luxurious 8-person hot tub, ready to help you soak away any stress as you get into vacation mode. Step outside into the 13-acre estate and get ready to be impressed! Let\`s start with the beautiful 3-acre lake featuring a dock, sand beach, covered gazebo, and large fire pit, complete with kayaks and paddle boards for you to use. Did we mention it\`s private? As in \`only for your group to enjoy during your stay!\` Around the lake winds one of the many manicured walking trails throughout the property, which also extend into the pine groves behind the home as well (this was formerly a Christmas tree farm and the various species of pine help you get that holiday feeling as you wander). As you return from the lake, just steps from the main home, you\`ll find the standalone game cottage, which features a variety of games and activities for your group to enjoy during your stay, including pool, shuffleboard, air hockey, darts, giant connect four, a poker set, board games, and a lounge area. No matter what your group enjoys, it\`s here at Mirror Lake. We can\`t wait to help you create unforgettable memories together. During your stay you\`ll have free range of the main home, the game cottage, the lake and lakefront amenities, and all of the outdoor walking trails. Please do not cross over any fences into neighboring wooded properties, as we do not own them and you\`ll be trespassing. The surrounding woods are dense growth and aren\`t nearly as fun as lounging by the lake anyway :) The detached garage shown in some of the photos is not included in the rental but garage space is available for an additional fee. There is plenty of parking for vehicles outside the home on the driveway. Reach out if you\`re interested in using the garage during your trip. There is a metal shed on the property that is not accessible to guests. We live about 40 minutes away from Mirror Lake. If you have questions or need anything during your trip feel free to message us through the app or call/text us as well. Mirror Lake has a male and female pair of neighborhood peacocks that often visit (William and Fiona). These magnificent birds are docile and love to lounge on the game cottage porch and the hot tub cover. They\`ll move away if approached. Please do not feed or allow children to chase them during your stay. The first section of driveway coming into the property off of the main road is gravel. Use of the lake is at your own risk. We always recommend adult supervision, life jackets, and other common-sense water safety practices are followed to ensure everyone is safe and has fun during your stay. ## Similar properties ![Indoor pool, outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112110000/112109300/112109279/w1288h962x1y1-0de11df6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New: Golf Sim & Theater Room + Noon Check-in The Galena Territory - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=112109279&PinnedHotelID=112109279&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89570000/89566400/89566340/b389d692.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cliffside Cottage, Private Pond, 50 acres w/ Breathtaking views near Galena, IL Elizabeth - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=89566340&PinnedHotelID=89566340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110130000/110125500/110125447/907a72dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New 5-bedroom house at Apple Canyon Lake. 30 minutes from downtown Galena!
