Thank you Vicki We're so pleased you and the girls enjoyed the home and your Galena experience. You'll just have to come back for the hot tub! You're welcome any time. Thank you for choosing this home to enjoy your time together.
Our stay in Galena was wonderful. The house was perfect for my family and in-laws. It was cozy and provided everything we needed. My kids had hours of fun in the basement and hot tub. We would definitely come back to this house.
This house was very specious and had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The rec room in the basement was great and the kids had a blast. Everything was easy to coordinate and all the directions were very clear. We had a great time!

Thank you Rebecca! We're so happy you and your family enjoyed the home and the kids had fun with all the great games in the recreation area. That room can keep all ages occupied for hours! You were wonderful to host and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you the next time Galena is in your travel plans. Thank you for choosing our Log Lodge on Laurel home!
Every part of our stay was easy and as-per-plan. Helpful “managers.” Spacious and spotlessly clean home, with everything exactly as we’d hoped and anticipated (not always the case!). Comfortable beds. Kind provision of shampoo, conditioner and body wash (Could use a handrail for getting into the master bath-). Various perks and amenities. Beautiful neighborhood, convenient to Galena. Highly recommend this home!

Came here for our annual girls trip. All 6 of us had our own sleeping space. Check in/out was very simple. The rooms were all very large and spacious. There was ample sitting areas located outside and around the house. We would definitely consider returning to this home.
We loved our stay! Very comfortable and met our needs exactly! Something for everyone and close to everything we needed. Very happy with our family reunion.
Wonderful stay in the Galena territory. Great house, very well stocked and very clean. Loved all the amenities and recreation in the area. Highly recommended.
