Overall was a good experience and nice place. The only minor concern was the hot tub temp would drop while in use and was warm, not hot. It didn’t seem like the heater was properly keeping hot water flowing and the outdoor temp was close to 70. The place was peaceful and was a perfect couples getaway.

Great communication from the host both prior to and during our stay. The amenities were fantastic - hot tub was warm and ready for use, the robes and towels were an amazing touch. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was very clean, quite new, decorated well. Plenty of sleeping space for all, and so many bathrooms, every room had its own. We would absolutely stay at The Linden again. Many thanks!

We had the best time at this VRBO for our girls weekend! The house is set up perfectly for a lot of guests (we had 11 and didn't fill all of the beds), and the kitchen/living area is spacious and could accommodate all of us hanging out together! There is also a hot tub on the back deck with beautiful views overlooking the forests/hills of Galena! The host was super easy to communicate with and very responsive leading up to our stay. The house was exactly as described and shown in listing pictures and was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and there's a grill on the back deck, which made cooking/eating meals in very easy as well. We also went into town a few times, which is only a short drive away. This house is perfect for your next weekend getaway to Galena!

The place was amazing. We love to stay at the Territory when we can’t get away for spring break. The house was perfect. We had 13 people and the layout of the house couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend this house.

Our stay at the The Linden was amazing! Home was clean and adorably updated. Beds were super comfortable. Check in and out was a breeze. We loved the detailed guidebook provided by Phil and the communication checking in on us to make sure everything was perfect. Zero issues and nothing but a wonderful time had by 4 Moms needing to get away from everything for a quick stay. We will absolutely be back!

Family gathering

Very pleased with The Linden! Very easy to work with Philip, excellent and quick communication. The home was lovely, modern and very clean with beautiful linens. The bedrooms each with their own bathroom was a real plus for our family. Really enjoyed the golfing and especially the outdoor door pool as it was a hot August weekend.
