Great place for a weekend getaway! Everything was very clean and beds were very comfortable. We were able to check in early and have a late check out. We would stay again!

Great place to stay. Lots of space, well maintained home with lots of options for large groups. Downtown Galena is a short ride away, good fishing spots real close along with a beautiful waterfall. The house features lots of distractions to keep all occupied, pool table, cards, video games, and 3 great spots outside to enjoy nature all around you. Front porch with a couple rocking chairs, walkout basement to a beautiful covered patio with gas fireplace, a real fire pit just steps away and a great sitting room off the kitchen & family room. Would recommend this to all my friends and family for either a quiet getaway or a long weekend exploring Galena and the mighty Mississippi. The house didn’t disappoint.
We loved this house! Very well appointed. Great common space. Beautiful landscaping in the front yard and lots of outdoor seating options. Very pleasant, attractive and walkable neighborhood. Would definitely rent it again!

Late summer is such a special time in the neighborhood, and we’re glad you were able to enjoy the landscaping, seating areas, and walkable surroundings. It means a lot to us that you would choose to stay again.

We visit Galena almost annually and this house is definitely at the top of our list for future visits. Everything is well maintained, clean and perfect for a comfortable trip away from home. The property manager was very accessible and friendly. Nice entertainment area in the lower level.
We wanted to get all of my children and grandchildren together for quick few days just to relax and enjoy family. Well mission accomplished- they had a ball and we even got a little shopping done in downtown Galena. Super fun and the property is what I have come to expect with VRBO clean,functional and totally roomy. Hats off to the VRBO group,propety manager and of course the owner.

This property was exactly as described Owner was terrific and responded quickly to all questions.House was very clean!We had a wonderful peaceful stay and would definitely rent again!!!
The house was as advertised and very comfortable for the six of us and our dog. The billiard table, poker table, and extra large sofa in the basement was great way to spend time together. We enjoyed the GTA Owner's Club amenities too. The pool, workout room, and basketball court were great ways to get out when it was raining.
