Extended Holiday

Our family enjoyed being able to extend our time together over the Holiday at your property. It was large enough for all of us to be together and had plenty of room to spread out if we wanted to. Thank you for this opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.

Great Getaway

We utilized this location for a work event! This home has everything you need with plenty of space for everyone to “stretch out”. It is convenient for the downtown area, but still gives you that “out of the city” feel. The owner was very helpful in making us aware of all the amenities of the house. We will definitely stay in this property again.

Fabulous Stay in Galena

Wonderful, spacious home with everything you could want or need! Jess, the owner, was helpful and excellent at communication prior to arriving and then upon our departure. Home is beautiful and accommodated our group of 13 with great ease! Equipment for the 1 yr old in our group was wonderful! A very beautiful and comfortable home!

Fantastic home for a big group!

We were a group of 7 women and had a fantastic time at this home! There are 6 bedrooms (4 of which have en suite bathrooms and the other two pretty much have their own private bathroom in the hallway). The home was clean and the downstairs area had its own small sink, refrigerator and bar area. The home is stocked with all the kitchen supplies you need AND coffee. The fridge has an ice maker and filtered water as well. It was cooler during our stay so we didn't get to use the sunroom, but the hot tub was amazing! The home is also very close to the spa (1/2 mile). We didn't use the clubhouse, but in the summer that would be fantastic. Check-in and check-out was a breeze as well and response times were immediate. We are already talking about staying here again!

Fantastic House in a Great Location

We had 6 couples get together and everyone thoroughly enjoyed both the “Gathering Place” as well as Galena’s shops and great restaurants. It was fantastic that each couple had their own bathroom. The house was well stocked and all communications were prompt. We hope to make this an annual event.

Our group of 12 had a wonderful experience at the property! There was adequate spaces for all of us together or to spread out and have our own space. It was close by many things to do that fit everyone’s interests.

We all enjoyed our stay. There we eight of us, all seniors there to play golf.

Potentially interested to stay there again. Either 4/28 thru 5/2 or 5/5 thru 5/9. Are either of these dates available/cost? Would it be possible for you to consider adding regular tv to your cable service? The bedroom/bathroom on the main floor needs a new flapper as it is not holding water in the tank. The gentleman staying in that room would turn off the water supply valve at not. Overall - wonderful home. Thanks
