About this property

Rustic, Romantic, Secluded, & Private

Set on a beautiful seven acres of wooded hillside, Homestead Hideaway offers you a unique opportunity to rest and relax within a peaceful setting. Located just 15 Miles from Galena, Illinois, our cabins in the woods can be your home away from home while you enjoy Galena, Chestnut Mountain, hiking, wineries, and all the other amenities Jo Daviess County has to offer.
When you stay at Homestead Hideaway, you can simply relax in our cozy rustic cabins, or get out and enjoy everything the area has to offer. At Homestead Hideaway you can expect a tranquil feel and a stress free retreat. The cabins are located in a beautiful rural area where it is perfect to have a cup of coffee or tea in the mornings and enjoy the wildlife. Let our cabins be a rare chance to unplug from the world and help ensure you have a relaxed and secluded stay. We are not able to provide Internet or cable TV due to the location of the cabins. However, do not let that steer you away from the beautiful setting. There are numerous locations in Galena as well as E-Town Coffee in Elizabeth, IL with Internet access.
We have two historic cottages located on the property and three separate rentals. The cabins are located on opposite ends of the property. You can enjoy the seven acres of wooded area by hiking or taking your dog for a walk. Whether you are planning a romantic trip to Galena, a golfing trip, a couple’s getaway, a wine lovers weekend, or skiing at Chestnut Mountain during the winter months, Homestead Hideaway will accommodate to your needs.

We have been renting the cabins for about 2 years now. We have decided to go beyond the brochure advertising and word of mouth and work with VRBO for our rentals. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

This rental is for the Brimeyer cabin. It has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One bedroom is located on the top level with a King bed. The second bedroom is on the bottom level with a queen bed. The main level has a kitchen and a living/dining area. There is also a sofa sleeper in the living/dining area.

The other cabin on the property also has two rentals on this website. The top two levels of the other cabin is the Seven Sisters Suite vrbo # 623038. The lower level/unit of the cabin is our Gleneagle Suite which is also listed on VRBO #624157

We now have a landline at the cabin. It is for local and emergency(911) calling only. If you wish to call long distance you will need to bring a calling card. However, long distance inbound calling is free.

Starting Mid August 2022 We will have passes available for ACL Nixon beach (15 minute drive) and ACL pool. You must speak to host prior to arrival for information. You must have tags and parking passes for these amenities and there is a fee from security deposit IF LOST TAGS

Always Wonderful

My husband and I have been coming to these cabins for many years now with our pups and the cabins/property have never disappointed us. It is one of our favorite get aways. We have brought several friends with us over the past years. The trails are wonderful, the nature and quietness is unbeatable and it is only 20 minutes from Galena! We cannot wait to visit again!

Great family trip

We love this cabin and this was our 2nd time staying here. We used the pool passes this time and our kids loved the pool. The smoker in a backyard was perfect to make ribs.

Perfect

Though we were a little late for fall colors, this property was perfect. Nicely secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our family really enjoyed our stay. We also loved the architecture and/or design/layout of the cabin. The wood stove added a nice atmosphere in the evenings.

Deep Woods Get Away

We were looking for a low-key, relaxing getaway. This rental was perfect. It’s a rustic cabin in the woods, very private. Even though it was a rustic cabin, it still had all the conveniences of a modern home. Our favorite part was having a warm fire in the stove during the cold evening. During the stay we had a question and the owner responded to our text right away. This is a great find and we will be coming back!

A quiet getaway

A perfect setting for some down time! The cabin is remote, yet just a short drive to downton Elizabeth, Galena, and Apple River Canyon. Very clean and the bed was super comfy! Our dog enjoyed listening to the cows at night while hanging out by the fire. Very scenic property with a few short trails to take the dog on. Absolutely loved staying here and plan to return!
