An excellent spot for our annual friends getaway of 6 adults, 3 kids, and 3 dogs! The house was very clean and welcoming. We made use of the grill, hot tub, and owners club pools which were all great. We'd definitely stay here again.

This home fit what we were looking for. The bedrooms are on three levels, which was nice. The home was clean. The hot tub was a nice feature. They had plenty of wood for the fire pit. We enjoyed the passes to be able to use the pool and games at the Owners' Club complex. The Sunday farmers' market was nice. Liked that this home was on the edge of the Galena Territory, so there was easy access into Galena.

The house was lovely and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace. We did experience an alarm issue, but the owner was very responsive and generously refunded us for the inconvenience. I would definitely recommend this house to friends.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. We enjoyed the hot tub, deck, and screened porch, but the weather was too hot for us to try the firepit. Maybe if we come back in the fall.
