This 2006 custom built true 10" log & stone cabin, with guest accommodation license, is the perfect getaway for anyone seeking the solitude of the Galena Territory, fine dining and shops just 10 minutes away on Galena's Main Street. Meticulously maintained, this popular BNB vacation home features 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 4 interior living spaces, spacious dining area, eat-in kitchen, large deck and patio, and full yard; there is room for everyone. The striking Great Room boasts vaulted ceilings, hand scraped hickory flooring, a floor to ceiling stone gas fireplace and pastoral views of the valley by day, or hours of stargazing at night. While the kitchen is the perfect place to cook a romantic dinner for two, the rustic dining area is large enough to accommodate a large gathering. Reflect at the kitchen table, on the deck accessed by the kitchen sliders, or on the wrap around porch. Each of the 3-levels offers an primary suite with full bath. An additional 4th bedroom with two twin beds is in the lower level sleeping a total of up to 10. Enjoy the view from the upper-level lounge area featuring a gaming table, dormer areas, and an expansive bedroom with 2 queen beds, two closets, and full bath. The lower-level walkout features 2 bedrooms, full bath, heated floors, 55" TV with surround sound, and a lounge area with second fireplace to cozy up to as you binge your favorite series, or gather round for board game night. Retreat to one of two decks for a steaming mug of your favorite hot drink, or a glass of wine. Cozy up to 2 fireplaces, grill on the deck, or make 'smores at the firepit. There is plenty of room for storage and hobby/workspace in the spacious and finished 2 car garage. Easy access to the kitchen from the garage with an adjacent powder room conveniently located. A generous storage area and laundry room with cabinets and counter space is in the lower level. Meander through the professionally landscaped park-like yard backed-up to acres of undeveloped green space offering panoramic wooded views. Enjoy miles of paved trails. Access the private Owner?s club, which overlooks a wide valley in the heart of The Galena Territory and houses recreational facilities for year-round enjoyment. Pontoon on Lake Galena, horseback ride, or explore one of the more than 20 miles of private trails. Be sure to watch for colorful wildlife: deer, fox, coyote, wild turkey, owls, and bald eagles among others. The Pool/Recreation Complex includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, locker rooms, a snack bar with indoor and outdoor patio seating, and three pools. The outdoor activity pool has a double slide and in-pool seating area. The zero-entry kiddy pool has bubblers and a frog slide, and the indoor pool is open for swimming year-round. To round out your recreation options, the Owners? Club has an indoor court to accommodate basketball, pickleball, or volleyball, an arts and crafts room and game room with pool and ping pong tables as well as a video arcade. The business center offers a quiet retreat with two computer stations, plus the entire complex offers free wireless Internet connectivity. Outside you?ll find ample parking, two tennis courts, a basketball court, and a small playground. The furnishings in the home, with a few exceptions, to be sold on a separate bill of sale. High speed internet to the cabin. Tucked into the rolling hillsides of the ?driftless? region this beautifully crafted log cabin is an irresistible hideaway at the edge of the 6,800-acre Galena Territory.
