Perfect place to stay

This place was exactly what we were hoping for on our get-away trip with just the girls. The entire place met all of our needs with very comfortable beds, pillows, amenities and coziness. We spent an entire evening sitting on the deck with the fire pit burning and the stars shining. The house was so well furnished and decorated that it made us feel very pampered. It would certainly be a place we would come back to.

Galena Territory Home

The home was absolutely lovely and well appointed. It was perfectly located for trips into Galena and playing golf. We could not have been happier with the home and enjoyed our time there whether it was sitting on the deck or having breakfast in the kitchen. Our hosts provided thorough and well labeled information about the house and area.

Comfy and cozy holiday-season getaway!

Sarah’s house was so comfortable and clean and beautifully decorated (both in general and for the holidays). Everything was exactly as advertised on VRBO. And Sarah was a very responsive and helpful host, who thought of everything to make guests comfortable, and there are helpful notes everywhere for everything you need to know for using and finding things around the house. The beds were amazingly comfortable! The location is in the Galena Territories, which is a really easy and beautiful country drive on paved roads 10-15 min from downtown Galena.

Beautiful home for families!

We loved our stay at your home! It was the perfect space for our two kids, their spouses and two grandchildren. We loved having our breakfasts in the sunroom listening to the sounds of nature. The grandkids loved the pool. Our 7 year old granddaughter cried when we were leaving and wants to come back. I loved all your decor throughout your home. We enjoyed the nighttime skies and looking at the stars. If we come back to Galena, we would definitely rent your home again. Thanks for always getting back to me right away.

Quick overnight for a wedding

Our stay at this home was quick, but exactly what we needed for a wedding nearby. The hot tub was fun to use after a night out, and the host was very clear about the lack of streetlights for night time driving, which was helpuful. Plus made for some great stargazing! Property was clean and as described.

This property was beautiful! The house was among the rolling hills close to Galena. The owner/ management, thought of everything a party of eight or less might need!
