The layout of this house was perfect for our multi-generational group. Bedrooms/bathrooms on each level gave privacy and open kitchen, dining, living, screen porch gave space to be together. We enjoyed our stay.
Great spot, lots of space, quiet neighborhood and great amenities

Lovely home - very clean and nicely supplied. Although we didn't use the hot tub or pool table - for groups or families that would - they are nice amenities. Lots of space.
The hot tub is large! Nice sitting areas on both floors! The screened in porch was great! The master bedroom was so spacious! The kitchen is well stocked!
Beautiful area; nice big house with lots of space to gather. Comfortable beds with soft sheets (things you notice as you get older). Has all the things you would want for a nice long weekend away.
This was the best rental we’ve had. It’s well stocked and everything thought out. We will be coming back

This was a great place! Lots of room, kitchen well stocked, enjoyed hot tub and pool table. All of us agreed great place would rent again.
We were very pleased with our choice for a weekend stay in Galena. We talked often about future plans to return to this property and will gladly do so!
Large comfortable home, ideal for our group of seven adults. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. The location is central to Galena, winery and outdoor activities. Also, the community’s restaurant and grocery store were a nice surprise.

Beautiful property and location. The house was in excellent condition and had everything we needed.Easy to book online but also easy to talk to a person when needed. Highly recommend the Talisman Lodge.
Enjoyed the home, hot tub and other amenities. Bedrooms with their own baths is a must for us. This home checked all the boxes especially allowing us to bring our dog. Great stay!
This home was perfect for our big family coming into town for a wedding. Loved the hot tub, firepit, screened in porch! My only complaint was a few things that were obviously not cleaned, or overlooked...maybe due to quick turnover?
House was exactly what we needed within our budget. The hot tub and pool table were great amenities! Would definitely stay again. Master bedroom was amazing!
