The house is great! Very clean (we didn't use the grill and waffle maker because they were dirty). The "lakeview" was very negligible.... maybe when all the leaves are down.

Amazing house

We stayed for Thanksgiving, made supper, played games, watched movies and swam in the hot tub. The house was as described and depicted. Galena was a quick 20 minute drive with a lot of exciting twists, turns and hills. We all had an amazing time and loved the stay.

Absolutely Perfect

I cannot say enough good things about this vacation rental! This brand new house is phenomenal (superb layout for spending time with family, beautiful lake views, and the most comfortable beds you will ever try). Host was super responsive. The special touches were above and beyond (gift basket upon arrival, owner even set up a Xmas tree for us, super convenient charging ports everywhere). Highly recommend! Can’t wait to return!
