Beautiful home for up to 8 adults

House is much bigger than it looks in photos or from the outside. Great placed and very responsive host. Still shows a hot tub on the listing that isn't there anymore. We confirmed this with the host before booking.

Cozy and comfortable

The 3 ensuite bedrooms were perfect for our group of 3 couples. The screened porch was surrounded by color-changing landscaping and provided a comfy place to relax. The house is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. We enjoyed walking the on-site trails. This was our second time staying at this property and have plans to return.

Fall trip with friends

This is the second time that we have stayed at this property. We were 3 couples on a weekend to relax and hang out. We appreciated having three bedrooms with 3 baths. Lovely place, clean and quiet. Would definitely stay there again.

Just what we needed

The screened porch really was fab, and the house was quite spacious and comfortable. It’s a great neighborhood, quiet and beautifully maintained. We would stay again at pretty much any time of the year

Perfect get-away

This was truly a home-away-from home, located in a secluded area. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath to allow for privacy. The common areas were spacious and comfy. The kitchen was well-stocked with anything you could possibly need to prepare meals. Everything was spotlessly clean. Kristen was great at communicating with me about the property and even took care of a rogue smoke-alarm while we were there. This is a real gem in the Galena area.

Super cozy and relaxing

Our group of four friends stayed at 15 Bluffwood Trl 10/9 - 10/12 and enjoyed our time very much. The house has a great room when you enter which was super clean and had plenty of room for us. We had space thru out the house to relax after some long days of exploring Galena. Highly recommend this home to anyone and would love to come back again!

Spacious, airy, bright and perfect for a small family/party

Really enjoyed large living room, deck, screened in porch, and fireplace. Kitchen area is small but has all basics and nice large dining table. Main bedroom could use some shades. Fire pit area was small and in awkward space to use. Overall, appreciated spaciousness and many sitting areas and pretty decor. Host Kristen was friendly and responsive.

Great family time!!!

This was a great place for our family to spend some quality time. After selling our Galena home of 25 years, we were missing Galena and the great family times we had. We have made it an annual trip now to rent a home. We have high standards and very specific criteria. This fit our needs perfectly. The property manager was super professional and made sure we had what we needed. We will be back!!

Spacious Getaway

Lovely home with two levels of living space. Nicely and comfortably furnished. The owner was very easy to contact and pleasant in responding to calls and questions. The screened in porch was a bonus and the wooded setting made for a relaxing experience. Our family of 5 gave it a thumbs up and would stay there again in the future!

Wonderful Place

The cottage was exactly as advertised (well, except the mini fridge was not working, which was a disappointment). The owner reached out before our vacation and sent us some additional information on nearby attractions. Although the internet password was not correct, the owner responded promptly to our inquiry. A lovely area and we really loved the screen porch!

Friends Reunion - Hilliard Reservation

The home was a great space for a gathering of six long time friends for a reunion weekend. The 3 bedroom/3 bathroom configuration was great; as well as nice common room spaces for fellowship time. The bedroom with with attached bath could benefit from a little updating of shower/bath stall with addition of mat and/or grab bars to make it safer for entry in and out. We enjoyed hiking in the "Property" trails and the restaurant recommendations of property managers. The interior of home was very clean; however we had to wipe down table in screened-in-porch and chairs on deck that we used because they looked like they hadn't been wiped down in a while. The communication with Ginger was excellent before the stay and during stay when we had one question on Wi-Fi access. We would return to property again!

A Home So Wonderful You Won't Want to Leave!

I booked this property for a reunion of our siblings. I must admit I am very picky (I ran my own B&B) and after looking at many properties I kept coming back to this one. We were delighted! It is spacious and beautifully decorated. It was extremely clean, had every kind of cooking item you would ever need (including spices, etc.), a coffee bar with coffee, terrific grill, and beautiful dishes. Plus a dining area with patio doors to the deck on one side and another set of patio doors leading to the screened in porch. Lovely place to eat! Each bedroom has is own large bath, plenty of linens, comfy beds, and a T.V. There are so many places to relax in this house. The owners have thought of everything, even a ceiling fan for napping on the screen porch! The communication was excellent before and during our stay. This place is a gem and a bargain, too! We will be back!
