Close to Galena, close to perfect. Premier get away. Three beautiful suites.

Pine Hollow is just a quick half mile drive to the town of Galena. When you turn into our driveway you will find your wonderful home nicely tucked into the hillside, located on 120 wooded acres, and a spectacular park like setting. A beautiful stream flows past your rental and pure relaxation will begin. Put your feet up on a large wrap around porch, and take in one of the best natural settings in the Galena area. Secluded and so close to Galena.
Outside, many guests take advantage of our fire pit for evening gatherings. This is located just a short walk from the front porch. We do provide fire wood for your enjoyment. Did we mention the wonderful stream that runs in front of the guest house. This is the most wonderful therapy for relaxing that you’ll find anywhere. Close to nature, close to Galena, close to perfect.
Explore beyond Galena’s Main Street and delve into the natural wonders that surround this charming, historic setting . At Pine Hollow we offer lush forests, rolling hills, and meandering rivers that paint a picturesque backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. Keep watch for native wildlife as you explore, with opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife spotting around every corner. Whether relaxing on the front porch, or simply soaking in the natural splendor, you will love Pine Hollow Cottage.

When you enter your home you will find a spacious, fully equipped country kitchen. A well equipped kitchen with a built in, counter top range and stove. The kitchen and dining area overlook the gorgeous park like setting. Located on the side of the home we provide a Weber gas grill.

As you travel through the house, downstairs there is a cozy bedroom with pine floors, stain glass window, vaulted beamed ceiling and a locally crafted, queen four postered bed. The bath room includes a wonderful claw foot tub for soaking and relaxing.

There are two large living rooms with local art work, wood mantels and fireplaces. These are great places for gathering together, playing games or just hanging out having good times. One living space has two large couches, winged backed chair, wood flooring and floor to ceiling windows. The second living area, includes two couches, a smart TV, and two winged back chairs.. There is also an additional bathroom off one of the living areas. So your rental has a total of four bathrooms, three bedrooms.
Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, each with private bath/shower combination. Each bedroom is a spacious 400 square foot. There is a wood burning fireplace in each bedroom for those chilly evenings, vaulted wood beamed ceilings, king beds, skylights in each bedroom and bath, and an adjoining sitting area with couch and wing back chairs.
"This beautiful home far surpassed our expectations. The furnishings were lovely and comfortable, and the surroundings were magical. We loved sitting on the porch, watching the sun glance through the tree tops at sunset, and later in the evening, watching the fireflies dance along the forest's edge". Kathy of Chicago

Beautiful home, close to downtown
Had a great weekend staying here. The house was large, clean and had everything we needed, including a fireplace and bathroom in every bedroom! The host left restaurant recommendations and replied quickly if we had questions. We were greeted by two deer in the yard as we drove up. Beautiful property and only a 5-minute drive to downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

Pine hollow getaway
Pine hollow is located just outside the city limits of Galen’s making for an easy access to the city for restaurants and shopping. The “ cottage” itself is located in a very private and secluded park like setting with fire pit ( which we did not use) and an abundance of wildlife-we saw a magnificent 10 point buck running across the yard. No neighbors to annoy or disturb which was important to us The “ cottage” has three very large suites with en-suite bath. Two gathering areas, each with a fireplace. A fully equipped kitchen was perfect for our lite snacks , breakfast and lunch. Very clean with adequate bath and bed linens. Very comfortable all around. I highly recommend Pine Hollow for those who desire peace and tranquility for a getaway but close enough for convenience

Wonderful stay!
The location of this property is right outside Galena. The property was beautiful! Freshly mowed and lots of flowers. The house was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The large kitchen table was great for six women to sit around and eat and visit for many hours. It was a great place for a girls weekend away. The owners were great and very responsive to messages. We couldn't have asked for anything nicer!

Porch in Heaven
What an absolute GEM! This property is a must if you are visiting with a group of friends. We could have easily skipped the golfing and tourist shops and just sat on the front porch listening to the birds and enjoying the beautiful view. Unfortunately, we were only there two nights. Definitely going to come back again. Three large/HUGE bedrooms with private bathrooms. Extra bathroom downstairs with a sunken jet tub and separate shower. Large kitchen with all the necessary wants and needs. Just bring your groceries! The sitting room is cozy and relaxing with large leather couches. Oh, and the rooms all have real fireplaces if you desire! Larry was a joy to talk to and told us the history. We had no problems while staying but I have no doubt he would take care of it immediately. Can’t wait until the next Galena trip!!

We loved the distance from downtown; easy to find, very clean and such a roomy and cozy home on a beautiful property. Nice that all 3 rms have a bathroom. Beds were very comfortable! Owners were very nice and answered all our questions accurately. Accessibility to get in house could be challenging for some due to steps to entrance. Loved wrap around porch! Overall, we definitely all agreed we would come back here when in Galena.

My two siblings and their spouses joined my husband and me for a mini reunion at Pine Hollow. The property was even better than pictured. We hiked around the property, saw deer, enjoyed the fire pit, all cooked in the well stocked kitchen, and visited nearby Galena. Having three large bedrooms with connected bathrooms gave us privacy, too. Thanks Larry and Sally for making us feel so welcomed.
