Every part of our stay was easy and as-per-plan. Helpful “managers.” Spacious and spotlessly clean home, with everything exactly as we’d hoped and anticipated (not always the case!). Comfortable beds. Kind provision of shampoo, conditioner and body wash (Could use a handrail for getting into the master bath-). Various perks and amenities. Beautiful neighborhood, convenient to Galena. Highly recommend this home!

Came here for our annual girls trip. All 6 of us had our own sleeping space. Check in/out was very simple. The rooms were all very large and spacious. There was ample sitting areas located outside and around the house. We would definitely consider returning to this home.
