Great hosts, cozy place!

This was a perfect getaway home for us and close enough to the Chestnut Mountain ski resort. The place was clean and cozy, and we were greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival. The surrounding area was perfect for morning walks and evening relaxation. The best part, our hosts were very accommodating and responsive! Highly recommend this place!

Perfect spot!

This location was a perfect retreat from the business of downtown. It was quiet and peaceful. It was also fun to sit on the deck and watch both the wildlife and the golfers. The condo was comfortable and well stocked. We recommend this to others and we would stay there again.

Amazing stay!

This home was exactly what our family needed for our vacation! Roger was the most gracious and helpful host, readily available and very friendly. The home had everything we needed for our stay and the owners club was perfect for the kids. Galena had great dining and shopping and our host suggested the museum aquarium in Dubuque which we all enjoyed. 10/10 would definitely book with Roger & Marilyn again!

Fantastic stay! Great location, so peaceful and quiet.

Townhouse fully equipped with anything you may need. Great communication with the hosts. Welcome snacks and wine were perfect. Access to the Owners Club is great- indoor/outdoor pools, gym, basketball court, game room was fun. Loved sitting on the deck in the evenings. Definitely would recommend to family and friends!
