Thank you Marge! It was a pleasure having you and your friends stay with us. We're so happy you found plenty to do inside on that rainy day. It's nice when you can have as much fun indoors and not have to weather the rain! Thank you for choosing our Boulder Creek home and we welcome an opportunity to have you visit us again. Maybe we can get the weather to cooperate next time!

We had a great time at this house! Plenty of cooking and eating space in the kitchen and the kids really enjoyed the play area. Located so close to the pool and golf course and just a short drive into downtown Galena and over to Iowa.
