We rented this house for 5 adults to stay in over the labor day weekend. The house was clean and fit our needs perfectly. It was great having a full bathroom for each of the bedrooms. The kitchen appliances were nice and the overall layout of the house exceeded our expectations! We will certainly rent this house again next time we are in Galena.

Little piece of heaven

We usually stay on the territory every summer as a family. This place was absolutely perfect! It met all of our accommodation needs and even more. Our boys loved it and the sun room was my favorite part. Rooms were very comfortable. We definitely said we will book this lovely home again next year.

Spring break getaway

We enjoyed our stay for a quick spring break getaway. We took advantage of trails, swimming and the proximity to Galena. The house was cozy and comfortable and fit our group of 8 perfectly. The sunroom was inviting and we had space for gathering as well as for resting.

About the host

Hosted by Maggie Lynn

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Maggie: full time mother of two, occasional artist, and loving wife. Making spaces clean, beautiful and welcoming has always been a passion of mine, and so becoming a VRBO owner felt like a perfect fit. My background is in teaching; a career that I devoted myself to for a decade. When I'm not working on the Beauty on Belden, you can find me running, painting, chasing my kids, reading books, and listening to music.

Why they chose this property

Open the door to the 4 seasons room and you will see all my reasons for this property. The leaded glass transom windows are surrounded by a verdant landscape: it's beautiful and calming to the soul.

I love that each bedroom has its own private bathroom. This is so important when friends and families book vacations, but really, who doesn't love to have their own bathroom?!
The four seasons room is a lovely place to unwind, especially in the evening when it can be closed off from the rest of the house via the living room door. Anyone who went to bed early can still sleep peacefully while the night owls continue to chat!

What makes this property unique

Renting this home affords you access to the Galena Territory Owners' Club. The club features 2 heated outdoor pools (seasonally available), a heated indoor pool (year-round availability), an indoor basketball court, tennis courts, a game room, and a gym.
