Awesome property!

Our stay was awesome! There was plenty of room for all. The thing we liked most was the choice of beds/bedrooms. It was refreshing to have so many king beds. And the number of bathrooms was perfect as well. The atmosphere promotes relaxation and peace. Communication with the owner, Sandy, was very responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Girls Weekend

We came to Galena for a 50th birthday girls trip and this house was perfect for the 8 of us. Everyone had their own bed and the kitchen was great for making dinner on Friday night. The sunroom was a lovely spot for coffee in the morning. Thank you for letting us use your home! We enjoyed every minute!

Amazing stay at a Beautiful home!!

We had a Great stay with our family!! The house was very clean and comfortable!! The furniture is very comfortable and tasteful. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed! The beds were very comfortable and everyone loved the bathrooms. We had great water pressure and showers were like getting a massage. The grandkids loved the jet tub in master bathroom. The house is in a great area and close to everything. We used the owner's club and our grandchildren loved the indoor pool. The indoor basketball court and recreation room were hits too. This place is much better than pictures show. I would highly recommend and would stay again!

The house itself is incredibly spacious and well-appointed, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Our group had a fantastic time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

We had a great time.

We really enjoyed this house. It’s set up so there are several places you can relax without all having to be in the same one. The kitchen has lots of spices and dishes and is beautiful. There’s a long table that seats all 12 of us to eat and play games. The carriage house is large and also very nice. Everyone had a great time.

Beautiful Galina House

The house was perfect for a girls weekend! It was clean and there was plenty of space for all ten of my friends to sleep. We had a great time playing games at the large dining room table. It’s close to downtown Galena for shopping. The owner provided detailed information prior to our stay and was very accommodating. Thank you, Sandy! You have a beautiful house!

Outstanding

We really can't compliment the property enough. Everything was exactly as promised, and even with 7 of us there was space enough for socializing and the business side of an office retreat. The kitchen was stocked better than any other I've seen. The beds were comfortable and the quiet made for easy sleep. Communication was prompt and accommodating. We hope to return next year and beyond.

Beautiful home!

Beautiful home! We celebrated our family Christmas together with our son and daughter's families. There were 11 of us - 3 couples and 5 children ranging in age from 8 to 18. The house was perfect with plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed for making meals. We loved the sunroom. Perfect place to sit and read and we even got to watch deer in the woods behind the house. It had snowed before we got there and again while we were there which made an even prettier setting. The owner was excellent to work with. This is a beautiful home and we highly recommend it. Hope we can come back to stay here again!
