A lovely place and peaceful surroundings. Checking in was easy and instructions and communication were clear. Beds were comfortable and the welcome tray was a nice touch. We would come back again.
Great spot outside of town. We enjoyed the location, deck and quietness of the home!

We recently enjoyed a two night, mid-week stay that was everything we hoped for. Our unit was immaculate and very comfortable. From our morning coffee to enjoying a quiet end of the day on the deck, this visit was exactly what we needed. We will be back.
It was everything that the listing said it was and more! Very homey and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The hosts were absolutely amazing and so kind!

Very Good
The condo was immaculately cleaned. We enjoyed having a fire in the fireplace. It was a very pretty wooded area. The toilets are very low. As senior citizens, we prefer taller toilets. We were disappointed that the pool was so far away.

The home was very cozy and clean. Really enjoyed the deck with firepit. Thanks for a great stay.
Myself and 5 friends stayed here for a girls weekend and had a wonderful time. The unit was very clean and as described in the listing. Galena is just a short drive so we spent a good amount of time there eating and shopping. We would stay at this location again in a heartbeat.
