WELCOME TO GALENA LOG CABIN GETAWAY
Welcome to the 45 lovely, secluded acres of Galena Log Cabin Getaway and the Adventure Creek Alpaca & Goldendoodle Farm owned and operated by Ruth and Frank Netzel. We are a working farm with 12 log cabins.
See your shadow by the light of the Milky Way at our dark-sky site! Frank will show you a few of over six million stars through his 8-inch telescope.
Live in a Historic Log Cabin
Our historic one-room cabins offer 660+ sq ft of living space with an open loft. Behind a closed door you'll find a modern bath with 6-ft double-whirlpool tub and a skylight to enjoy the stars. All of our cabins are traditionally built with all walls and supports built entirely without nails.
We also have four dog-friendly cabins.

Alpacas and Goldendoodles
The Netzels will also show you their prized alpaca farm. Their alpacas are quiet, stately, regal animals that are friendly to people - especially to smaller children.
Meet Quincy, a TV star. Take one of our alpacas for a walk. Or come down to the farm just to say hello to the alpacas and goldendoodles..
Goldendoodles are hybrid dogs. Ruth and Frank have bred their male golden retriever (named Blue) with their female poodles to create these cute and loyal dogs. Later on, they hope to have mini-Goldendoodles from their runt Dolly and their miniature poodle, Mr. Bojangles. .
A Few of Ruth and Frank's Favorite Things
We want you to cherish the same golden sights, sounds and smells of nature that we have come to love including: spectacular sunsets, eagles, hoot owls, the Milky Way, our unique dark-sky, tree frogs, a breeze rustling leaves, new-mown hay, and the fertile earth just after a gentle rain.
And be sure to read our specials.
Feel free to hike our 2+ miles aiong Adventure Creek. Or go just a mile west to Casper Bluff to see the beautiful sites.
Mississippi River and Casper Bluff
Galena Log Cabin Getaway's central location near the Mississippi river and Casper Bluff make it easy for you to take a tour of Casper Bluff and the Mississippi River. See 31 burial mounds and a thunderbird effigy mound perhaps 2500 years old. Learn about several Indians who played key roles in the history of Galena.
Come relax with us! Ruth and Frank are the local experts in relaxing and want you to do the same. They will be glad to respond to any questions you might have about their property. If you need anything, just call Frank and he'll respond immediately.
