Kyle was an extremely welcoming host to my family and I. The property is gorgeous and the seclusion makes the experience very peaceful. My young children had the absolute time of their lives just playing in the lake, walking the property and seeing the wildlife. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be going back again in the future. Bonus- the fishing was excellent!

Kyle was very prompt with answering any questions I had. The cabin was very cozy, offered many extra amenities that most VRBO’s I have stayed at did not. If you’re looking for a secluded getaway, this is it! Our group was a tad disappointed that we were not able to partake in some wine tasting while during our stay, but we would love to revisit! We hope that we can book next year!! Thank you Rocky Waters Winery for everything!

Everything was as advertised. Kitchen is well stocked and the place was clean. The winery is very nice and it was fun talking with the owners and hearing the history of the place. We had a blast hanging around the campfire at night. Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful Gem Outside of Galena!

This property in Hanover was absolutely stunning. From the charm of the wooden cabin to the spaciousness of three bathrooms and three bedrooms, along with such a clean, private lake, this was a fantastic find. Kyle was an incredible host, with lightning-fast responses and assistance, a personal knowledge of the wines made on the property, and just a very earnest and relatable approach to hosting. Galena was only a 20 minute drive, and Woodbine Bend Golf Course was also beautiful and in close proximity. Bonus points for all the different types of fish in the lake! We would definitely love to stay here again!
