The rental house was perfect for our party of 6. Each couple had a floor to themselves. Lorebeth was great to work with! She quickly answered any questions I had. If we can come back to the Galena area again, I will rent from Lorebeth again. Thanks again!

Another great stay

Our family stayed at this property for the second year and were just as impressed with all aspects! It is a beautiful home and a great escape. I will not forget just sitting and watching the birds. The owner was wonderful in answering questions and we could not be happier!

Sisters & Cousins Weekend

The area was beautiful, as was the house. The house was clean, perfect set up and well stocked. We enjoyed the back deck and fire pit. The property manager was responsive and very easy to work with. We had a wonderful weekend and created a lifetime of memories.

Beautiful Time

Excellent spot to stay and reconnect with family! Really enjoyed having time together, played games, shopped, hiked and ate. Scenery abounds and we thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife. The rental was clean and well maintained. Very user friendly and well stocked with plenty of kitchen options, pillows, blankets, games etc. Well equipped in all areas! Such a wonderful stay! Would rent again without question.

Great winter escape

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property and truly enjoyed the winter activities of the Galena area. The owner was helpful in every step of the process and the home was lovely- the bumper pool was a hit with the kids! Recommend reserving activities at the association far in advance (due to COVID restrictions), but the owner's help with that was outstanding.

My stay

The location was beautiful. I did not expect the parking to be as far away from the condo as it was. Behind one of the dressers had not been cleaned for a very long time. Overall my stay was enjoyable.

Great girls weekend

We stayed here for a girls weekend and it was perfect! We felt safe and comfortable during our stay. We loved being able to wake up and sit on the back porch, relax and watch the birds. It was about a 15 minute drive from downtown Galena. DThe place was very clean but there were some dead bugs on the couch and floor when we arrived. I can’t dock them stars because it is an outdoorsy area so it’s to be expected. Would stay here again. Thank you!!

Weekend Family Wedding

Perfection! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! My daughter and her 2 little ones had the bottom floor all to herself-the 5 year old boy was enchanted with the bunk beds and the cool lighting…The kids could wake up early and not wake up the rest of the house! Grams and Gramps got the main floor- all to themselves at night time- no stairs- and our young adult son and his wife - the beautiful upstairs bedroom all to themselves ! It was immaculate- and very well stocked. We cooked one night, and found the kitchen very well equipped. They didn’t miss a thing! We could have travelled way lighter- there were things like foil, and paper towels and toilet paper already there. They even supply pool towels! There was bird food in the fridge, and we loved to watch the birds coming to visit us at the feeder. We will definitely want to stay here again next time we come to Galena! Oh- and the price was just right.

Family New Years trip

We had a relaxing and enjoyable time at our VRBO. Plenty of space to spread out and plenty of space to interact and hang out together. Kitchen was stocked pretty good. Things missing that you should bring from home if you cook too would be rolling pin and griddle (for pancakes).The owners club was great and we enjoyed working out and swimming. If we head to Galena again we would stay here.

Stay summary

This home is wonderful. My friends and I had a wonderful time. The host immediately responded to questions. The only criticism I have is the details in the cleaning. The walls in the bathroom were dirty. Some stains on the walls. But overall this a beautiful home.

We enjoyed our girls weekend in Galena. The house was beautiful and was decorated so cute. We each had our own floor of the home. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening drinks on the deck while the many birds paid their visit. Definately would stay again

Wonderful

The group of 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The check in and out process was simple, communication with the home owner was was great, and the property is beautiful. The location of the home is approximately 15 minutes from Main St. in Galena. The only complaint that each of us had in the group were the comfort of the beds. All of us felt as if the beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. We believe that each bed in the home would benefit from a foam mattress topper - this way it can be removed if someone prefers a harder mattress.
