Lovely house

This was our family’s second visit to this lovely property. The lower level was the perfect location for our son, his wife and our 2 grandsons. Our 3 year old especially loved the toys and bumper pool table. The upper level was a perfect congregating spot for meals and family time. The house was very clean and neat and communication with the management was very good. We were very pleased with our stay and plan on coming back again next year.

Milestone birthday celebration over 4th of July

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our crew. It was so nice to have 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms for all of us. It was such a quiet and peaceful area! We loved the screened in porch and being able sit out there for just relaxing as well as game nights! We cooked in and ate out, checked out downtown Galena, visited a winery and stopped at some breweries. Some played golf and thoroughly enjoyed that. The pool access was a bonus and we loved being able to use it. This house is nestled in a perfect location and close enough to get to many things quickly and easily. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this property to any future guests!

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.

Family get-a-way

We had a great time. House was clean, was advertised correctly, loved the deck right up to lovely trees with birds singing, nice grill on deck, firewood for outdoor fire, great screened -in 3 season room, everything worked, good communication with owners. Just wished area with outdoor fire pit was bigger, but we were glad they had one.

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!

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, 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.

Nice home , with everything we needed . Home was very clean though the furniture in the screened porch had some stains. Very impressed that we were called the day before we checked in to see if we had any questions. Suggestion would be to put grab bar or some adhesive stickers on floor of bathtub in downstairs shower , very slippery , friend fell but unharmed . Good stay

Beautiful home, quite neighborhood, great communication

My family loved staying at this home, 3 couples each got their own room AND bathroom! The forest view is nice, we saw a deer in the yard as well as bunnies. The enclosed porch with seating is wonderful to enjoy the outside without the bugs. The owner communicated with us before our visit and to provide a quick update on the door code. Will stay again!

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.
