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 chance to unplug from the world and help ensure you have a relaxed and secluded stay. We have fiber internet, but no cable TV.

We have two historic cottages located on the property and three separate rentals. The cabins are located on opposite ends of the property.

Wonderful secluded property about 13 miles to downtown Galena. Surrounded by gorgeous old oak and timber. It was such a pleasure to explore the hilly, winding backroads of the area. We really enjoyed our stay. Hopefully thry never build more cabins on the hill because its perfect thr way it is.

Great cabin secluded but close to a lot

The cabin itself was very secluded even though there was a cabin at the bottom of the hill. It may have been in the country but there was so much to do in the surrounding area. So close to Iowa and Wisconsin as well.The cabin was perfect. Will stay again.
