Great space with a lot of stairs. It really is special out the large back windows as you walk down the the stairs to the bottom two bedrooms, kitchen, dining/game room, deck, and screened in porch. We loved it all!

This beautiful Galena property was everything we hoped for! It was quiet, clean, and spacious—perfect for a long weekend friends’ getaway. The stunning fall scenery and peaceful neighborhood within a short walk to the waterfall created the ideal setting for a relaxing trip. The only drawback was the limited transportation options to and from downtown Galena, but we’ll plan ahead for that next time. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!

Good for a family getaway.

Nice property for our family of 4. Two sitting areas are nice for extra space. Lots of games and books for a variety of ages. Kitchen is very well stocked. I loved the screened in porch- we saw a mama turkey and her babies and it was wonderful for bird watching. We always love having access to the owners club as well. The property owners were very responsive to questions and were even kind enough to let us check in early. It was a great stay and we thoroughly enjoyed the house!

We stayed in this house with my parents and our infant child. We had enough bedrooms to accommodate the 5 of us and it was optimal location to trails, golf course, and city center (Galena) . Would recommend this house for anyone looking to travel to Galen.

Beautiful place to experience Galena

We were happy to see the pictures matched the home well. We started our days at the gym and game room at the Owners Club. My daughter and I swam laps one morning too. It was warm enough to sit on the deck in the afternoons and play games after shopping on Main St. This home was stocked well with paper products so we didn't have to run to grab anything. We enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the primary bathroom too.
