Owl Creek Lodge

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!

I have stayed at Owl Creek Lodge twice now. Once with family (young and old) and once with a group of girlfriends. This was the perfect place for both groups. Owl Creek is well equipped, very clean, has the most comfortable beds and the management is very attentive and helpful. Besides all this, the scenery is gorgeous. It’s a beautiful part of Illinois I didn’t realize even existed! The rolling hills, wooded spaces and history of the area are fascinating. The views from the windows and the large plot of land it is on are beautiful, the perfect spot for s’mores and watching sunsets. I’d love to see the land in all seasons, each probably more beautiful than the next. I can’t wait to escape to Owl Creek for a retreat again soon!

Private, clean, delightful decor, incredible mattresses, the list goes on and on!

Absolutely! Here's a review based on those details:

Our stay in Galena was absolutely fantastic! This rental exceeded all expectations. The highlight was definitely the hot tub—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring downtown. The kitchen was enormous and well-equipped, making it a pleasure to cook meals. The spacious and well-maintained interior made our stay incredibly comfortable. Plus, the location offered a peaceful retreat while still being close to local attractions. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Galena!

Beautiful home that was perfect for our friend group of 10 people!

Had a great stay in this beautiful home. Plenty of space for our crew. Loved the deck and the owner provides binoculars to view wildlife. Pulled up to a perfect full rainbow set low among the trees on the side of the property. Hot tub is a nice perk that we used after returning from the pool. Home was immaculate. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Owner stocks more than a typical home rental which is very generous.

Wonderful weekend with daughters and granddaughter of 16 months. House was beautiful. Good location. Close to pool. Fully stocked kitchen Had an issue with back door but management responded immediately

We rented the house 6 months in advance & had 10 family members in our group. The house was comfortable, had many up to date amenities, & had the owners club benefits too. The only problems we had were that the upstairs tv remote didn’t work initially after having the maintenance man visit & the downstairs shower drain backed up. We got the tv to work but even after using some Drano, the shower remained clogged. Overall it was a lovely home & we would rent again !

My friends and I stayed at the Owl Creek Lodge for a bachelorette weekend in Galena. The lodge was clean, spacious, quiet, comfortable and private. It was a hot weekend, but the AC kept up. The hot tub was enjoyable as well as the outdoor patio. Alll bedrooms were in the basement except the master suite. Not too far from Downtown Galena and we used the local bus service to get around. 10/10 would reccomend!

The property was very nice, spacious and well maintained

House was very large with many upgrades. Large hot tub on the patio. Huge yard with fire pit and chairs, lots of firewood. Would definitely recommend this home for a vacation.

We had a great weekend in Galena and home was perfect for us!

Three couples had a bunch o’ fun and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Owl Creek Lodge - spacious, clean, wonderfully maintained hot tub, (the only thing we couldn’t find was a martini shaker) , otherwise, fantastic place to stay very near Galena’s attractions!
