Fall Family Weekend Getaway
Beautifully, well-maintained home that was perfect for my 80 something in-laws, my 20 something daughter and husband, and my husband and me. Each couple having their own bathroom sold me. We enjoyed cooking steaks on the grill and had a wonderful dinner in the kitchen and then resided to the outdoor firepit for a bonfire. The wood provided was awesome as we had fires both evenings. We loved being surrounded by the tall colorful trees as well. The only recommendation I would have is allowing renters in at 3pm instead of 4pm. Thank you for a wonderful stay! instead of 4pm. of 4pm. have is weather

Women’s get away
Property & home were perfect for 6 women in late 60s & 70s We did not use the hot tub, deck , 3 seasons room, or fire pit as it was too hot. The home was very clean & the beds were all very comfortable . Would definitely stay again The upstairs bedroom is very bright due to the windows & sky lights. My only negative is the coffee pot took 1 hour to brew & the single serve kept quitting. Also could use a large pot for making spaghetti.

Late holiday family time
Looked like a snowy fairy land . The walkway and drive were just shoveled and the roads were fairly clear for being in the territories. Had a blast in the hot tub even with the below freezing temps.

Ideal winter getaway
Everything was as stated and perfectly suited to our 5 person family (2 parents, 3 teenagers). Beds, baths, kitchen, hot tub, games, tv, living room all as advertised. We were too tired from snowboarding all day to try out the poker table. Easy to get downtown Galena and on over to Chestnut Mountain, yet secluded enough for us to stand and stare at the Milky Way from the house at night with almost no light pollution to obscure the view.

A perfect location to enjoy the many experiences that makes the Galena area a wonderful family vacation destination. The property was ideal for this family outing. The Galena Territory has so much to offer and the property was within easy reach of the Galena historical, food and shopping experiences. The property is everything you could want for a family outing. It had everthing we needed. It was like being at home. We highly recommend this property and the area in general.

Overall great house!
We had a great stay at this property with friends from college and our kids! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The screened in sunroom was really nice to hang out in at night when all the kids went to bed. The only thing I would say is that the upstairs bedroom gets VERY warm and the skylights/windows make it so you can’t really sleep in past sunrise… which also made it difficult for our 10 month old to go to bed before sundown. Otherwise we had no complaints!
