What a beautiful property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is great, being close to Galena. The views are amazing, overlooking the valley, hearing the cows in the distance. Loved all of the birds, which entertained us during the whole stay. We will be back soon!

Really nice property. Check in/out was a breeze. The home itself was very nice and clean, also larger than expected. The outside area was spectacular. We arrived after dark so we couldn’t see anything that night. But the next morning we woke up to an amazing view of the misty hollow and rolling hills, cows mooing in the distance, hummingbirds flitting about, and a couple of bunnies milling about in the yard. We spent morning on the deck, went into Galena during the day, and spent the evenings by the fire pit. So relaxing and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!
