Cozy & Roomy

The property is gorgeous- we loved that we all got king beds and bathrooms- plenty of places to cuddle up with a book or play some games. We loved downtown Galena especially Galena Bakehouse. The hot tub was lovely- a fun experience during the winter, but definitely be careful for ice etc. The kitchen was amazing. The whole place was clean. My family really enjpyed our stay

HUSBAND AND DAD

All was well. A few small things could have been better. Simple things like: burnt out lights in ceiling and hallway, sharpened scissors, new potato peeler, pots and pans with more secure handles. Better ventilation in master bathroom above the shower would help the paint on the wall.Once again very small items. Overall is was great! We look forward to visiting again.

Enjoyed everything about the home. Was clean, spacious for our group to gather, well equipped with everything we needed, and the hot tub was a plus that everyone liked. Would recommend this home to other groups. Will likely be back in the future!

A great getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent Thanksgiving here and had a great time. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, and very easy to communicate with the property manager. We would love to come back and experience this house in the warmer months, as it was very cold and we just stayed inside by the fireplace. Nice, big yard and we saw alot of wild life.

Perfect Home in Galena Territory

The home was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen. Bedrooms were great with nice King beds, night stands with lamps and full bath for each. The views outside the large windows were beautiful. Great sunsets and stargazing! The spacious lower level was a fun gathering space.

Perfect place to stay

Our 2 daughters and sons-in-laws and us stayed here in July. The separation of the bedrooms gave us privacy, but we could all be together. Lots of great space and gathering spots in this house and we used the hot tub each night and enjoyed stargazing. Not too far from town, (about 9 min). Simple decor that is homey, but not in the way of putting out our things. We felt right at home. Highly recommend!

Great girls’ weekend in Galena. The property has enough space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. Access to the pool was a huge plus since the hot tub was out of commission for most of our stay.

Loved the location and place. Felt very clean and comfortable. There were two things that we would give a heads up about, the hot tub did not seem clean, and no soap in showers. Other than that, thumbs up all the way!
