We rented for a week in April. Only got to use the hot tub once due to the weather. But it was very nice. Do wish it had a screen for privacy. The house was nice but could use some updating. We had trouble with the tv's. The one in bedroom & game rm didn't work. And the one in living rm had a loud buzzing sound at times. Also the stairs are very steep. However the bedrooms were nice & beds comfortable. And Brian was always quick to respond to any questions we had & very nice. Galena is a great place to visit with many good restaurants & shops.

This was the perfect house for a Galena getaway! We were close enough to drive to all the things we wanted to do but in an area that was calm and peaceful. The house was clean and well-equipped. The property manager responded right away to any questions. We would stay here again.
