We loved our stay! The condo was cozy and came with just about every amenity we could have thought of. The fireplace and available wood was an additional nice touch and made for a fun, warm evening. We had a couple hiccups early on, but they were resolved quickly and communication was fast and easy.

Great condo for girls trip to Galena. We had all we needed at the condo. Comfortable beds as well. The territory is confusing and more information on the condo about what facilities we had access to along with a map would have helped! Fall is beautiful there.
