Perfect Stay

The house had everything we could have needed for a small getaway with some of our family. Clean, comfortable, stocked, and nice touches like a sound system that was easy to play your own music into via bluetooth. Definitely would stay again!

Great location, well equipped home!

My family of 4 went and another family stayed at this home. We loved that each room had its own bathroom! And the kids loved the bunk beds! The house had everything we needed. It is in a great location - close to the shopping, trails, and owners club!

Nice cabin for small/med families!

Our stay overall was very nice. Property was as described. It was clean and comfy for the family that stayed and the four that visited for meals. Check in was clear, the binder at the property was detailed. We didn't take advantage of the Owner Amenities on the resort, but still had a nice time.

Stayed for half marathon

We stayed here for half marathon in galena. Location is good. They could use more pots/pans, blankets/towels, etc. It was pretty bare bones and not enough pans to make our dinners each night. Very clean and comfortable otherwise.

Great Place

I knew from other reviews to pack extra blankets for the basement and plasticware for my kids. And I'm glad I did. My kids loved playing on the bunkbeds and climbing the stairs and playing cars on the hearth. If you have napping kids- you may want to bring black out curtains. The kitchen is tile so be sure to pack slippers to warm your feet if traveling in the cold months. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed the owners club amenities. I would recommend this place as it would be great for a friend gathering as there was more wine glasses than coffee cups.

Quiet Escape

The property was as advertised. The location was quiet and perfect for our extended weekend. The fireplace worked well and we used it quite a bit. There was plenty of space for our kids to spread out and they enjoyed the games in the lower level. Each room having a bathroom was a major plus. We cooked in the home on most days and had plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. to do so. The basement was quite cold, but based on other reviews we came prepared with extra blankets. The view from the private balconies was great and included a group of wild turkeys running through the wooded area! We throughly enjoyed our time in the home and will be back. We go to Galena every year and this home has by far been our favorite.

Nice location!

The property is really nice and in a great private location but the cleanliness needs to better! I’m not even sure the downstairs shower was cleaned because I found someone’s leftover shampoo and body wash in there and several dark hairs in the shower as well as one on back of toilet bowl and in the sink! When we got into the bed downstairs the comforter had a brown spot on it on the white side of it and I’m just hoping it was from someone eating chocolate in the bed! Also when I went to take out a drinking glass out of kitchen cabinet I could see lip prints on it! Overall it’s a really beautiful place but again the cleaning needs to be improved!

Cute little house in need of major cleaning!

The house is perfect for a family of 5-6, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You can't beat the view from the floor to ceiling windows and the kitchen and dining area are large enough to host a big group of people. One downside is there is no garage or catch all space especially for skiers to put away their equipment. Upon entering the property, however, we noticed that there were debris on the floor, the coffee maker hasn't been cleaned to the point where it was moldy and the cupboards and kitchen utensils were dirty. The bathrooms were not properly cleaned and the carpets were full of crumbs and dirt from previous tenants. We probably left the place cleaner than it was when we came because we swept and wiped some of the surfaces. The lower level bunkbeds seem like a fun idea especially for the kids but the top bunks were unusable because they are so close to the ceiling and the railings were so low that you could easily fall out. The beds were fairly comfortable. The lower level area was considerably colder than the upstairs and it would have helped to have heaters in the bedrooms to make people more comfortable. We still had a very nice stay and I would recommend this place to my friends.
