Such a cozy place. The kids had a blast watching turkeys from the balcony. The kitchen had everything we needed. Would love to return some day.

Cindy, thank you so much for the wonderful five-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the space, the game room, and especially the hot tub. It was a pleasure having you at DunPuttin Place, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Jamie! We truly appreciate you choosing DunPuttin Place for your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re planning another getaway to Galena. Safe travels!
This is a lovely property, unique and very homely not like a corporate let. The kitchen was really well equipped, the beds were really comfortable, the wifi really fast. All the TV's have firesticks which is a nice touch. The hot tub was great and the view out over the trees was wonderful - we had great weather and we sat out here a lot! Todd was a great host and any questions were answered really fast. Self check in using the door lock code was great and super easy. There were plenty of access passes for the owners club which we didn't really use but when we looked in is clearly a great resource. Would stay again.

Dom, thank you for the wonderful review and for staying with us. We're so glad the house felt homely rather than corporate, and that you enjoyed the hot tub, the view over the trees, and the Firesticks on the TVs. Thanks for the kind words about the quick answers and the easy check-in, too. We'd love to welcome you back to DunPuttin Place anytime.
Pros: Clean! Great hot tub (and again clean!). Plenty of space. LOTS of things you'd never even think you needed (hummingbird food, binoculars, french press, etc). Great communication throughout!Cons: Beds were a bit firm (some loved it, others not so much), air had a slight stale smoke smell, and the decor was dated. Missing puzzles pieces or puzzles that were all mixed up (we left a note - no worries).

We greatly appreciate your kind review and thoughtful words. Guests like you are easy to host.
I stayed with my family, a total of 12, and it was very comfortable. The kids loved the downstairs play area. There were so many games to play. The view on the property is in the woods and very peaceful. My family enjoyed the bonfire and relaxed outside on the porch. The host was wonderful and responded very quick to any questions I had. It was a clean house, family friendly, and a very memorable trip with the family!

The house was perfect for our girls trip. We had issue and Todd and Julie were very responsive. It was fixed quickly and didn't impact our stay at all. We enjoy that the hot tub was enclosed for chilly weather and had fun in the game room. I would definitely stay again!

"Extra easy to work with!" You are so kind and I really appreciate your warm review. Please do come again!
We stayed here for a family Thanksgiving trip. The house was great, and the game room downstairs was very fun. We also enjoyed exploring the area, visiting downtown Galena and Horseshoe Mound. In all, it was a wonderful vacation.
