lovely location in a cozy home
5/5 This is just what we were looking for. The house included thoughtful extras like coffee and a lovely bottle of wine. It sat just overlooking a creek, with plenty of areas to relax outside. It was perfect for the entire family.

Great little house on the creek!
5/5 We absolutely loved our stay. The location is perfect for what I most needed…down time with peace and tranquility. This house is right on Galice Creek, and when you are outside, the soothing sound of the creek is almost the only thing you hear!
Debbie was super responsive when we had questions, and the caretaker, Lew, was nice when he came over to water the yard. There were several welcoming touches, which made it just a little extra special. One thing that was very much appreciated was a portable AC unit in the detached bedroom, as the warmth this time of year had been one thing I was concerned about. But we needn’t have worried…everything was perfectly comfortable!
The house is older, so be prepared for a few idiosyncrasies, but it just gave me a feeling of nostalgia and reminded me of my grandparents’ house!
The house is comfortable, the location is amazing, and you can remain as isolated as you want, or you aren’t too far from Grants Pass and various activities there.

Slice of heaven
5/5 We thoroughly enjoyed this cabin thank you for sharing your family’s happy place with us. All of our rafting trips were canceled because of the smoke (fire season)and we didn’t even care because the creek was all we needed(apparently the smoke wasn’t a thing up on galice rd)all you need is to blow up some tubes and kids splash around all day.. cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back again and again
Wonderful place!
5/5 We very much enjoyed this lovely spot. Creek was beautiful, shady, and perfect for a dip. House was well equipped and had lots of unexpected and welcome touches. Quiet and beautiful. The bonus suite was super appreciated by our teenager. Highly recommended.

2nd STAY HERE AT GALICE CREEK
5/5 My brothers and myself had a great time here again this year! This place is so comfortable and you feel like it is like your home with everything they have for there for that comfort. I have to say the new shower they installed is really nice and a definite up grade. The young one with us went and swam in the creek and used up some of that energy! It was a little cold, but he enjoyed it. Also always have to mention Lou the caretaker that always checks to make sure everything is good for us!
