The house was lovely and cozy while also being spacious and providing for everything we needed! We especially enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, fully stocked kitchen, and spacious rooms. We appreciated how communicative the hosts were from the time of booking, providing a detailed house guide and replying promptly when we had inquiries during our stay. The location was quiet and serene and 20 minutes from downtown Galena.

The RELAXING RETREAT was just as advertised. The screen room was a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy being surrounded by nature. Beds were comfortable and the en suite with each bedroom provided the desired privacy. The kitchen provided adequate extras and was well designed for cooking and eating together.

What a wonderful place to slow down with my family and regroup for a fun time. This was the perfect spot to host our family get away. We had ample room for all, plus the large screened in porch, dining table/game night table and hot tub were favorite spots for everyone. Thank again!

Clean, loved that each bedroom had a bathroom, screened in porch beautiful, used the hot tub every day! Kitchen had all the necessary utensils, pans, crock pot. Literally our only suggestion is showerheads with more water pressure.

Wonderful stay in the woods.

We came for a get away as a family. We had plenty of room for 10 people. We enjoyed the screened in porch where we spent a considerable about of time. Also the outside fire pit was stocked with well seasoned wood that started quickly. Communications with the owners was quick and they did everything they could to help us have a great stay. If we come back to the area we will stay here again.

Great stay!

This property was a great choice for our family vacation. We liked the layout and appreciated how well stocked it was. Easy check in and check out process. Questions were answered promptly. Will note that the jetted tub in the master bath is not in working order, but we had no issues using the outdoor hot tub.
