Perfect Family Getaway!!

Fantastic house with plenty of room for a large family get away. The sitting area in the basement was a great area to entertain kids who got up early without waking the rest of the house, and the open living area on the main floor made it easy to visit while cooking in the spacious kitchen or watching TV. The dinner table fit 9 adults and two kids with room to spare! We also had tons of room to allow the kids to play and run around. Our favorite aspect of the house was that every guest room had an adjoining bathroom so no one had to share. Much more affordable then renting five separate hotel rooms with the bonus of being able to utilize a fantastic kitchen and stay in for a few meals. We would definitely come back and stay here and recommend it to friends. The short drive to town makes it the perfect location for those who want a night in and a night out on the town!Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

We spent a wonderful weekend in this beautiful home. It is a relaxing place with plenty of room to have lots of family activities and has great views, a fantastic hot tub and is close to everything. We did feel that saying it sleeps 10-12 is misleading. We had 13 people with 4 children on blow-up beds, 3 couples and 3 singles. Since there are 5 beds, one single had to sleep on the couch which was not very comfortable or private. Since it said it slept 12 we thought the couches would be fold-outs. Our whole family had a great time anyway!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for the review of our vacation rental home. We take every review into careful consideration to allow us to improve our vacation property. To ensure that your review is helpful to our future guests, we would like to clarify your comment on the number of guests our home sleeps. We have 5 bedrooms with 2 king size beds and 3 queen size beds that allow for sleeping of 10-12 guests, as shown on our listing; along with plenty of space for air mattresses, which we do not supply, if necessary. At this time we do not provide fold-out couches due to the safety of our guests. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and the 5-star rating!

We simply love this house! This is the 4th year we've stayed here. The location is great and the reservation process is very easy. The bedrooms are big and the bedding is top notch. We like the addition of the TV upstairs and additional furniture in the family room downstairs.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, sightseeing.

There were 10 of us, on our 19th annual trip together. The house is perfect for 10 couples with plenty of space to spread out. Each room had it's own full bathroom as well as either a comfy king or queen bed. the kitchen was well stocked as we ate in 2 nights. We loved the fact that it was secluded and the screened in porch was great. The guys enjoyed the owner's club as well as the hot tub at the house. This was our 4th trip to Galena with the group and will definitely stay here again.The group thought that this was the best place that we've rented since we started doing this.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing.

Jst a few touches would make this more homely. Better pots and pans and utencils. Maybe a new can opener and instructions on how to use the dish washer... watered down soap is discouraging... why do that? are you aware of this? bathroom soaps and kitch soap all watered down. better larger garbage cans outside - perhaps a recycling bin too.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your review of our vacation rental home. We take every review into careful consideration to allow us to improve our vacation property. We would like to clarify the issue with the soap; all of the soap dispensers located within the home are foam soap dispensers. In addition, we will inspect the pots, pans, and utensils within the home to determine their quality, and replace accordingly. Thank you again for staying with us and the 5-star rating!

Friends' Getaway
Friends' Getaway

- Review Submitted 07/31/13
Five couples traveled to Galena for our annual get-away and stayed at this beautiful home. This is everything we could have asked for....individual bedrooms w/private bathrooms, large gathering areas, fully equipped kitchen, and a table large enough for all of us to enjoy our meal and friendship. The beds are all very comfortable and the home is very clean. The only negative we found were the weeds in the flowerbeds. While we were in the Galena area, we drove into Wisconsin to do some antiquing in Cuba City, shopping in Shullsberg, and a visit to the Dominican's at Sinsiniwa for their bread. We booked tickets with the American Lady for their evening "Booze Cruise" and shopped in Dubuque. Of course, we spent a whole day in Galena, shopping and eating!! We never did get to a winery but the guys found some breweries and went to the Brewery Museum in Potosi, WI. We would all recommend this beautiful home for couples, families, friends who want to get away to a very private home. It is located on a private cul-de-sac with golf paths nearby. Don't forget to relax, enjoy yourselves, and try some of the games hidden in the basement cabinets! We laughed til we cried and intend to come back!Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Owner response: Thank you for your review of our vacation rental home. Our home has 2 king size beds and 3 queen size beds. The sizes of the beds are listed in our VRBO listing. I am sorry that you were unhappy with the sizes of the 3 queen size beds.

We had 5 couples in the house, and had an absolute blast in this house. Between each room having their own private bath, the privacy without neighbors, and features of the house, it was well worth the money. The owners club is very convenient, and we were even able to sneak a few holes of golf on #8 of The General during the evening!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
