A working farm with log cabins sits just outside of Galena on 45 acres of rolling hills. On this farm are sweet, friendly alpacas who love to greet guests who stay on the property. This rustic retreat is known as the Galena Log Cabin Getaway, which is a part of the Adventure Creek Alpaca and Goldendoodle Farm. If you’re looking for a rural getaway with peace and quiet, this may be a perfect option. Let’s have a look.

The farm's authentic log cabins are surrounded by nature. There are hiking trails you can use to explore the surrounding creek area, the Mississippi River, and Casper Bluffs. There are also plenty of opportunities to see wildlife.

An incredible aspect of this farm is that it's surrounded by 500-foot ridges that block out the light from the surrounding areas. Because it's devoid of light pollution at night, the Milky Way can be seen clearly. This dark-sky site is perfect for stargazing enthusiasts.
