We were so comfortable at this property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Steve, at H.E.L.M. was very helpful and always returned messages to answer questions quickly.
The property was very spacious and was fully equipped with everything we needed! The hot tub was a big hit for our group! We will definitely be staying here again!
Great, quiet location. Very spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 6. We really liked that each bedroom had it's own bathroom and shower. Hot tub was excellent. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils we needed. We would stay here again!
This home was beautiful in a natural setting. The home is well equipped; we loved that bedrooms each had their own bathroom. It is a great place to stay with family or friends. The owner communicated well and I felt all needs were met.
Amazingly clean! Perfect number of bedroom suites for our group of six (2 couples and two singles)! Having to take our trash to the dump was weird and lack of workable tv remotes (dead or missing batteries) were a negative, but we would still stay there in the future! Again, amazingly clean!
Beautiful home with lots of room. Like having private bathroom for each bedroom. Upstairs sink facets need replacing. Beds very firm. Need to make sure dispensers in showers filled. Nice big kitchen. Enjoyed hot tub. Need to be conscious of doors locking when going from inside to outside.
We had a great stay - there is a lovely path with a great vista at the end of the road (about .75 mi). The house was clean, the beds comfortable and location quiet. We really enjoyed the porch and the beautiful birds and nature.
We enjoyed our stay. The en-suite bedrooms worked well for our group of 4 couples. The management company was very helpful and were responsive to any questions that we had.
Two old friends shared five days at this wonderful home, enjoying the full moon, the nightly fires, and the sunsets! We went into Galena each day for history browsing and great lunches (Bread and Vine was our favorite...) and one day drove north for a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin. But our favorite part of the stay was being in the house, surrounded by the natural beauty and rekindling our friendship.
The house's layout was perfect for our group and we really enjoyed our time. We had 4 couples and it was so nice that each bedroom was en suite. We have stayed in the Galena Territory four times now and this is by far our favorite spot.
Beautiful property..loved that everyone had their own bathrooms!! Little farther than we'd like from town but the property made up for it!We enjoyed our stay!
The property was great. Great amenities and very clean. Love all the bathrooms. Would recommend a little more seating in family area on main level and non slip or handle by whirlpool tub but still a 5 star review!
Great house with plenty of room for 4 couples. Kitchen was well stocked. Only negative was one toilet didn’t have a seat on it but was not a huge deal since there are 6 bathrooms.

Thanks, Tom; Apologies for the missing seat. We sadly had a scheduling mishap with one of our service providers who was momentarily unable to get into the house before your stay to replace the toilet seat the prior guest had broken. Rest assured that the toilet seat is now replaced and all items are working again at the house.
We stayed at 1 Westview over thanksgiving holiday. We really enjoyed this property. It’s very spacious and clean with excellent views. Everything was in good shape. We also enjoyed walking the territory and this location is excellent for trail access. The management was very informative and responsive. Great place!
We were all quite impressed with this property. Being mid winter we didn't get to enjoy any outdoor activities. The place was well appointed and was very clean. Had everything we needed and was a nice place to relax.
