The house is amazing! Plenty space for our family! It was nice to have little gathering areas (downstairs living area, upstairs loft) that our older kids could hang out.Dan is a great host, super responsive and super helpful!
We LOVED our stay at this home. The house is filled with natural light and is warm and inviting. Plenty of room to spread out if your with a group. It was immaculately clean. We are planning our next trip back!
This is a large, very comfortable home. We enjoyed the clean hot tub! Views from the deck of Lake Galena are breathtaking. Kitchen was exceptionally well stocked! We look forward to a return visit!
Kitchen was fully stocked, everything a group would need. The house was clean and rooms were spacious. It is the perfect space for a large group reunion like we had. Large hot tub was the clincher for us to book here.
It was amazing there. Loved everything about the house. Fantastic host. There was enough room everywhere for our family. Loved cooking in the large kitchen. I just can’t say enough about house and how it just completed our vacation. Went skiing and shopping downtown Galena. We will try to do something like this more often
I booked this house for trip with girlfriends and it worked out perfectly! The house is perfect for a big group of friends or family. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen has everything anyone could need. We really enjoyed hanging out in the living room, the view of the river is beautiful. We also loved the hot tub! The owner was very communicative and provided suggestions for local restaurants. We are excited to make this an annual event and look forward to renting this house again!
Our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed 3 lovely evenings at the property. We had tons of room to spread out. Great hot tub, ping pong and pool table were enjoyed by all. Well stocked kitchen, large kitchen table and multiple large spaces to relax and watch tv at the end of our shopping days. Extremely comfortable beds and bedding in each bedroom. We've been renting in Galena for near 20 years now and this was voted as one of the best by our family!

Everything was perfect, great host, we had a fantastic time! We will be back.
We had a group of 11 stay for three nights and golf in the area. The property is clean and incredibly spacious for a group that size. The host is incredibly responsive - highly recommend the property for a nice weekend in Galena
My family stayed for almost a week at this beautiful property. The views were spectacular and the house offered a plethora of amenities. We can't wait to go back.
Great, entire family loved it. Dan was beyond fantastic to deal with. We had a really good time. Diverse age groups but everyone had a great time. Thinking of next year.
Seven of us celebrated our 100th book in our book club and stayed at this beautiful property. Everything was clean and stocked. Owner very responsive. It was absolutely perfect!!!
Vacation home has everything you need to have a good fun time with friends and family. Location is great and house is well maintained. Owner was very helpful and nice. Highly recommend for fun stay in galena.
What a lovely home! Plenty of room for the 10 of us and the view was fantastic. Dan was easy to reach and provided everything you would need. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time staying at this property to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday! The house was beautiful and spacious and the owners provided all the amenities and then some. Thank you, Dan, for sharing your home with us. It was a memorable trip!
The house was big and very beautiful. Owner had everything ready for us to check in, too check out. Excllent communication. Beds were very comfortable They have anything there that you would need to feel like home. Would for sure go back again.
What a great place to stay with lots of room for our large extended family to meet and hang out. Although only 3 couples stayed there, there was plenty of room for our extended family of ~20 people to hang out for dinner and enjoy the view from the decks. The house had everything you could need. I was impressed with how clean it was for being such a large house and the fact that another family had just checked out that same morning. Dan was great with all the communication. We will definitely book again when we are in the area!
Thanks, Dan, for sharing your home with us. We found this home to have plenty of space for everyone. The roads to get there were quite twisty, but gps worked perfectly. Loved the kitchen and the game room. Lots of nice and fun extra touches like the big chalkboard wall, coffee filters and supplies, a Christmas tree.... The hammock looked like it would be great in warmer weather. We had excellent family time there. Thanks.
The house is big, beautiful, very clean and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked so that you could make meals to enjoy while staying there. The living room has big gorgeous windows to enjoy the view and adds so much brightness and warmth to the space. We saw people ice fishing during our stay. Game room and hot tub was also an added bonus that everyone enjoyed. This home was close to Galena too! Dan also made sure we were having a good stay and communicated with me the whole time. I appreciated that. I would highly recommend his house if you visit Galena.
This house worked well for our weekend get-together with family. The house was clean, stocked with most items you might need (bathrooms, kitchen, entertainment) plus items that you might want. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely separated, the common areas were spacious and furnished (deck, huge kitchen island, table/chairs, comfy chairs, sofas, etc.), and the basement ping pong and pool tables as well as the blackboard were entertaining. The owner was responsive and helpful. All and all, the property was a great venue for our family get-together. We would stay at this property again.
We stayed for three nights with family and friends. This house was so clean and perfectly laid out to accommodate adults and teens who wanted to sleep together and have privacy, The basement had a ping pong table and pool table and fun chalk board. There was so much extra space to hang out in and relax. The kitchen was duly stocked and had great amenities. And the views. Stunning! And the fireplace was enjoyed.
Dan is the perfect host-thoughtful and responsive. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

This is an awesome property for enjoying time with family and friends. There's ample communal space both indoors and outdoors to allow you to relax and create memories! You've got a nice view of the lake, which is rare to get in the Territory.
