I loved my stay! It was clean, super cozy with an updated, clean feel. There 8s a full washer and dryer, which was very useful. Detergents, garbage bags, and soaps were provided. It felt like an extension of home. Stacy was very quick to respond to any questions I asked prior to and during my stay. I definitely rate it a 10 out of 10!!

Cozy, charming cottage

My family and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay at this cozy and charming cottage. It was the perfect size, and we had everything we could have needed. With the cold temperatures, we really enjoyed the fireplace which not only warmed up the rooms, but made them extra cozy and relaxing. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4 (and dogs), and it was the perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend in the Galena Territory

We spent a winter weekend in the Territory. The house was neat and warm and very cozy. There are two fireplaces (non-wood burning ) that kept us toasty. The rental provided access to the Territory’s Owners Club and its fitness center, which was a nice plus. We really enjoyed our stay.
