Very nice place to stay! We had a family group of 10 with dogs and was perfect for us! Loved that all the bedrooms had their own bathroom! The one tub bathroom is located on the lower level. With two additional bedrooms and baths located on the lower level. The pull out sofa is located on the main level with another bedroom/bathroom and half bath. We really enjoyed the kitchen area and screened in porch! The place is well taken care of and clean especially for a pet friendly place to stay! We enjoyed all the amenities the galena territories has to offer. Stephen is great to answer any questions and would love to stay there again!

House is perfect for our family yearly getaway. Love having a full bathroom for every bathroom. It was great for grilling family dinners and a bonus is having a pool table downstairs. We will be back.

Had a great time with family. Took advantage of all options available in and around the Territory. As far as the house it was comfortable, especially like that all the bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The common living areas provided enough space for our group. Enjoyed our morning coffee in the screen porch.
