About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

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!!

Girl's Weekend
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.

This is the second time my friends and I have stayed at this property for our "girls trip" and we love this place. There is plenty of room to hang out and we enjoy relaxing on the porch. The hosts are easy to communicate with and answered our questions quickly. We love that this place is close to town but in a quiet, relaxing location. I highly recommend.

We absolutely loved the Pine Hollow Inn home - there was the perfect amount of space for the 6 of us, the kitchen was very well stocked, the setting was beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the property, as well! Would highly recommend this VRBO - clean, cozy and well-thought out! Great hosts, too!!

A Midwest Paradise
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.

We loved our time staying here. We had a nice fire one night and enjoyed the porch and peaceful environment morning and night. The house was wonderful. Galina is so close. Best of both worlds close to town but in country with nature. Would go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend for others to stay too!!

Absolute perfection!
Everything about the house was absolutely perfect and even better than we imagined based on the photos online. Super spacious, clean, charming, quiet, private, comfy, etc. Super cute house and loved being surrounded by the woods. The fire pit with chairs was an added bonus. Loved the front porch for our morning coffee. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook. Perfect for our girls' weekend away. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Wouldn't have found a more suitable place.
Our family had a very comfortable stay. Three private bedrooms with full bathrooms for each. Plenty of common space for enjoying each other's company. Charming decorations and artistry throughout. A porch that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. All this and very close to the fun, food, and shops of Galena. We'll definitely plan a longer visit to the same house next time!

I couldn’t say enough about how great the property is. Porch overlooks beautiful wooded lawn. Feels very secluded but is only a bit over a mile from town, I ran to town every morning for coffee. The rooms are large and all have their own bathrooms and there are two separate living spaces. Two bedrooms also have little TV areas. Lots of privacy. The host seems very nice.

A beautiful cottage in Galena
My family and I had a great long weekend at the Pine Hollow Cottage. The rooms were generously sized and all came with an ensuite, making it very convenient for everyone. We had an easy check-in and check-out process, and everything in the house was easy to find. We appreciated the expansive outdoor space and all the common rooms available for us to hang out in. It is conveniently located close to Galena’s downtown, but a drive away enough that it didn’t get noisy. Also – thank you to the hosts for finding and shipping back our son’s newborn basin which we left it in one of the bathrooms. Really happy with our stay at the Pine Hollow Cottage. 😁
