This was a beautiful home for our family of 5. The layout was great, it was clean, and private. We used the hot tub, the popcorn machine and the snow cone machine and the boys had so much fun and it was a very relaxing space for us. The beds and furniture were also very comfortable. Our host was so attentive, and provided a lot of suggestions of things to do in the area which was nice. We decided to go to Hoof It and I highly recommend that as well, it was so much fun.

We had a wonderful stay in Galena for a quick family trip. The house had anything we might need and if I had an infant I noticed that all of the infant gear was available (great for young families). Beth went above and beyond to communicate and to take care of us. We noticed a few kitchen supplies needed and she had them send to our doorstep next day. We loved the owners club - games, pool, gym. Downtown Galena was adorable. Lots of memories made!

Midweek getaway

First impression was how cute it was. As the time went on, it was not just cute but everything we needed to unwind. The hot tub was great, the fire pit in the screened in patio was so relaxing. After spending time in downtown Galena, we couldn’t wait to get back and relax.
