Carol's Cottage | Galena Territory Vacation Rental | Fireplace | Dog-Friendly

Carol's Cottage is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation home situated in The Settlement neighborhood of The Galena Territory — a private 6,800-acre resort community six miles east of historic Galena, Illinois. Genuinely cozy and intimate, it's the retreat guests return to for the wood-burning fireplace, the private wooded deck, and the kind of warmth that larger vacation homes can't replicate.

Named in memory of Carol, the homeowner's mother — a personal touch that shapes how this home is maintained and shared.
