Great Place

I knew from other reviews to pack extra blankets for the basement and plasticware for my kids. And I'm glad I did. My kids loved playing on the bunkbeds and climbing the stairs and playing cars on the hearth. If you have napping kids- you may want to bring black out curtains. The kitchen is tile so be sure to pack slippers to warm your feet if traveling in the cold months. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed the owners club amenities. I would recommend this place as it would be great for a friend gathering as there was more wine glasses than coffee cups.

Quiet Escape

The property was as advertised. The location was quiet and perfect for our extended weekend. The fireplace worked well and we used it quite a bit. There was plenty of space for our kids to spread out and they enjoyed the games in the lower level. Each room having a bathroom was a major plus. We cooked in the home on most days and had plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. to do so. The basement was quite cold, but based on other reviews we came prepared with extra blankets. The view from the private balconies was great and included a group of wild turkeys running through the wooded area! We throughly enjoyed our time in the home and will be back. We go to Galena every year and this home has by far been our favorite.

Stayed for half marathon

We stayed here for half marathon in galena. Location is good. They could use more pots/pans, blankets/towels, etc. It was pretty bare bones and not enough pans to make our dinners each night. Very clean and comfortable otherwise.

Girls Weekend

We have been visiting Galena for about 10 years now. This home was perfect and was immaculate. It had everything we needed and the location was great for sunsets and wildlife. We would absolutely return. Thank you

Nice location!

The property is really nice and in a great private location but the cleanliness needs to better! I’m not even sure the downstairs shower was cleaned because I found someone’s leftover shampoo and body wash in there and several dark hairs in the shower as well as one on back of toilet bowl and in the sink! When we got into the bed downstairs the comforter had a brown spot on it on the white side of it and I’m just hoping it was from someone eating chocolate in the bed! Also when I went to take out a drinking glass out of kitchen cabinet I could see lip prints on it! Overall it’s a really beautiful place but again the cleaning needs to be improved!
