The property was wonderful, exactly what we expected from the listing. We under utilized the available amenities & we will probably return to use the beautiful lake, swimming pool, firepit, etc. We had a great time & we loved the our home away from home!

This cabin was a perfect getaway for my family. Super clean and information left for us was very helpful. Tons of space for gathering together. The basement floor level offered an additional area for people to gather and watch tv. Very easy to use access passes for pool and beach areas. Hidden gem by the pool area was the dragonfly fairy garden and tower.

The log cabin met our needs for the weekend very well. We were attending a wedding at a venue nearby. The hosts were very accommodating and had a lovely welcome basket waiting for us. The instructions and tourist tips were very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay for our daughter's wedding. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and it was a lovely cabin. I didn't realize there wasn't a shower on the main level bath or no bathroom located in the basement and that was purely an oversight on our part. It all worked out ok because we were family but might be a problem for some.We loved being able to use the ACL pool to relax the day after the wedding. Very nice facility!Thanks again!

I would recommend this cabin to anyone staying in the Galena area. It rained quite a bit during our stay, and the cabin was exceptionally clean and very comfortable for playing board games and hanging out on the covered porch during the rain.The hosts were easy to communicate with and had a great list of recommendations in the welcome book. A couple things to keep in mind - while there is cookware and a grill, you’ll need to bring your own Tupperware, cling wrap, or other food storage containers as none were provided or left from previous guests. The flooring in the basement bar area had also been ripped up before our stay and made the room less accommodating than the photos suggest. Not a big deal or any reason not to stay here, but something to be aware of when planning or shopping for the trip.

This house was perfect for a winter girls weekend! Plenty of room to spread out, play board games, eat, and watch chick flicks!
