We had a wonderful stay! Our family of eight (including six kids) felt completely at home. The layout and room setup were perfect for a large family. A special thanks to the host for letting us check in early when we arrived ahead of schedule. Highly recommended!

Pool was closed due to timing of our stay, but who would have thought it was going to be 90 in October. Rooms were great size and the deck was perfect to enjoy. Location to down town was great only being 8 -10min drive. Kitchen had everything you would need to prep and cook.

Getaway on Wheatstrand was a wonderful location for a quick trip during the week of Christmas. Everything was very clean and there were plenty of amenities within the house. It was a very cozy and comfortable home, had a great view of the Galena Territory, and walkable distance from the Owner's Club. I'm certain we'll be back!

This is the perfect property for a family vacation. Our 3 kids loved it! It has everything you need for a fun, relaxing stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, every room has a tv, fire pit in the backyard for s'mores, huge backyard for the kids to run around and play. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck of the kitchen/livingroom, and family dinners cooked on the grill. The owners club has an outdoor/indoor pool for the kids to play, not to mention the arcade room. Location is great also for any activity you have in mind: golfing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding , or hill sliding at Chestnut Mountain. Will stay here again!

Family getaway was great. Property was very near owners club for swimming, which considering the 95 degree temperatures was Awesome.I might suggest a medium to larger size Teflon griddle for making pancakes easier. Children enjoyed the games in the garage! Plenty of room inside to spread out. We also enjoyed the nightly air balloon about 7 pm. Off the deck

What a beautiful home! It was absolutely spotless, incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. My best friends and I had the most wonderful girls’ weekend, simply relaxing, laughing, and enjoying quality time together in such a lovely space. The owner was also kind enough to accommodate a special request, which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated! You can truly tell how much care goes into making this home welcoming for guests. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and helping make our girls’ weekend so memorable! We would absolutely stay here again!
