This property is as advertised, secluded, quiet, & peaceful. There is one other cabin on the property that is also rented, but it is at the front of the gravel drive, and this is the back, so no noisy neighbors, as you find yourself in the middle of the country with corn fields and cows around. We felt like this was a great location to take advantage of Galena without being in the hustle and bustle of it all. We also enjoyed hiking at Apple River Canyon State Park, kayaking at Apple Canyon Lake (which the property has parking and beach passes for you to use as it is private). We enjoyed visiting the town of Elizabeth as well and visiting the massive antiques store there. All of these were within a 30 minute drive (or less). The property was clean, well furnished, and had everything that we needed. Stargazing at night and quiet campfires were so wonderful to enjoy. We had an awkward situation with the other group staying there, but was really not the fault of the property owner, and she helped us resolve the situation.

Perfect place to escape - private, quiet and peaceful.

We loved the cabin with its cozy rooms. It had the rustic charm, but also many modern amenities. Our family of five was able to disconnect and enjoy or time together. The spacious lawn with trails through the property was also a huge perk.

It was certainly a homestead! I really enjoyed my stay! In fact i didnt wanna leave!

Perfect for two couples. We had a wonderful weekend.

We desperately needed a break in our busy summer schedule to reconnect and just chill. Galena is always a favorite of ours and we typically do the B&B thing. This time we decided to search for something a little more secluded and off the usual path. We absolutely loved the location of this delightful, charming cabin. The interior was very clean with plenty of furnishings. We appreciated that the accommodations were pet friendly, Lucy approved as well! :) We very much enjoyed the back deck to unwind each evening with a couple of cocktails. The sounds of birds chirping was so lovely. We also enjoyed the scenic drive to and from town, we felt we had the best of both worlds! The location was wonderfully quiet with no passing traffic. We highly recommend booking here and will definitely return!

We loved the Brimeyer cabin! It was peaceful and secluded, but close enough to plenty of activities and places to visit. Our normally anxious dog was happy and content walking around the grounds. We really enjoyed reading and drinking coffee on the porch! We would love to book the cabin again in the future.

The cabin was so great. We were extremely happy with our stay. It eas ckean and well maintained. There was a coupke snacks left for us (popcorn and chocolates). My husband, our 2 dogs and myself found our stay very relaxing. The dogs loved walking on the property and we were close enough to Galena's main street to go there for a couple hours one afternoon. Highly recommend this cabin. Enough privacy, but still close to enough to drive where needed.

This was just the place we need to escape to. Our sons loved it. The owner was very helpful and sent an HVAC repairman to fix an issue with the AC on a holiday. We will definitely be booking again.

We chose Brimeyer Cabin for our family's summer weekend getaway and it did not disappoint. We wanted a quiet and private location for our toddler, teenager, dog, and ourselves. It was close enough to Galena and the state park that we had plenty to do but far enough from other properties that all we could hear were cows, birds, and other animals. The cabin was the perfect size for our family, and everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxing, and our toddler and dog loved going on walks through the property. Great for the whole family!

We loved the cabin. It is spotless and very comfortably furnished, in a beautiful, completely quiet, peaceful setting. The mowed walking trails are fun. We’d definitely go back.

We loved this property and how it was out of the way and not heavily populated. I also enjoyed the fact that we did not have wifi and were able to unplug.

Once you work your way up the gravel road you're greeted by an adorable cabin and open space. The cabin is 3 levels and easily accommodated 2 adults, 4 children and our two dogs. Our kids and dogs enjoyed the open space and connected walking trails. There was no fear of losing our kids and they enjoyed the freedom. Cabin has every common amenity you can think of. Overall great place to disconnect from the world. FYI cell service isn't the best immediately at the cabin which we enjoyed but something to be aware of. Bonus perk: Cabin goer's got to use passes to access the local pool and local lake! Overall highly recommend and would definitely come back.

I left a review already in the cabin. It was a successful, peaceful, and relaxing stay. For more details check out the review I left. Thanks

Family stayed here for a wedding this weekend and it was absolutely perfect! It was convenient to both the church and reception as they were in Galena. The host is so accommodating and they stay was memorable. Thank you!

Quick weekend stay but we would’ve loved to stay longer. Beautiful setting, no noise except the birds.

Very peaceful

The cabin was awesome. I was surprised at how tucked out of the way the cabin truly was. For a couple day getaway it was amazing. Very peaceful. Very clean. There is definitely an amount of pride the host takes to ensure the cabin is maintained. Thsnk you very much for a great weekend. We look forward to booking the Brimeyer cabin again

It was a great, quiet place to stay. My spouse loved the forest and the secluded-ness of the cabin. I definitely recommend stopping by the store for all you food/supply necessities before getting there! Overall was very cozy and an amazing stay.

Great cozy place to relax

The stay was very nice. When I had a question it was answered promptly. Would stay here again.

The property was clean, quite and peaceful. Perfect for a weekend getaway from city life. I would highly recommend this property.

We are returning guests and love this property! The cabin was clean and inviting upon our arrival. The owner was fantastic about communication prior to and after our stay. She was so kind when we had questions about the wood stove and is working to return something that we left behind. Definitely will be back!

Wife and I come here multiple times a year to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Highly recommend if you are looking to decompress and enjoy the countryside.

The property was completely as advertised. Cozy, Quiet & Secluded. We will definitely be back when the weather warms up to enjoy the back deck & beautiful scenery.

This is the third time we have stayed. The peace, quiet and location are awesome. 25 minutes fro Galena if you want to get out, otherwise just some puzzles, books, cold drinks and it is great. Need some coat hooks though:)

Absolutely awesome. Everything about it was terrific thanks so much to the owners and all the great staff that made it possible

Great privacy getaway, no neighbors or lights from vehicles, very quiet, great for a romantic weekend away from the Internet and hustle & bustle of fast paced life. We loved the cabin and location.

What a great property! We loved sitting out on the back balcony and looking at the magnificent trees. Everything was clean and functional. Do pay attention to the details of the directions and keep track of miles between turns. Your GPS will probably run out just as you get to the final couple of turns and the last road has no street sign and is a gravel road.

Nice property. Really accommodating. Everything you need is there.

My husband, myself and our dog enjoyed our stay. The cabin was spotless and fully stocked. It has a lot of character and we loved it! The area was beautiful! Beds were comfy as were the living room furniture:) Great location to be able to take a drive up to split rock lighthouse and other great locations (gooseberry falls for example). One thing someone might want to know is both bathrooms have claw footed bathtubs with showers, which I loved, but could see how it might be difficult to get in and out of for some folks. We would definitely stay here again!!
