Four of the five bedrooms have an attached bathroom, and all are beautifully decorated.

The main level has the living room, kitchen, dining room and King size bed in the primary bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom.

The property and amenities were as described. Everything was very clean. It was the perfect spot for our four couples. The location was easy to get to. It ended up raining for most of our stay, so we weren’t able to use the hot tub or fire pit, but they would have been great under better conditions.

Great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place to stay...just a few things that should be updated:The front step needs repair and a railingMaster bath shower needs new slip strips...they are turning black.Would have liked more towels and washclothsMaybe mark the trash as Recycling and the other as trashOtherwise, had plenty of grilling equipment and kitchen supplies
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Sept, 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed the home, and we appreciate the chance to address your concerns. The front steps are inspected annually and have passed each inspection. Because of the porch layout, a railing cannot be added in that location. We provide towels and washcloths for the home’s maximum occupancy of 12, along with a full-size washer and dryer and laundry detergent. We share these details with guests before check-in. Both outdoor cans are for garbage, which is why neither is labeled for recycling. We’re always available by phone before and during a stay and welcome guests to reach out with any questions.

Perfect spot for a girls getaway! Awesome floor plan with bathroom for almost every bedroom. Super clean and quiet location. My only negative would be - it would be nice to have 2 fridges with 12 people staying, the one filled up fast - showers were leaking and water pressure not great but other than that, would stay there again!!!

Top Notch in Every Way

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the layout of this home for our golf group: plenty of beds and baths, large deck and porch, generous kitchen and dining areas, and a comfy living room. It was too warm to take advantage of the hot tub or firepit, but they are a nice touch. That's not to mention the shuffle board and pool table in the lower level. We loved it and would definitely stay there again!

Great Family Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The size of this property was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 4 small children.The location is excellent with easy access to all areas of the Galena Territory since it is located right off of Eagle Ridge Dr. Passes to the owner’s club were used two days and our family really enjoyed the pool areas, all three of them.The outdoor area with the fire pit is perfect and including the supply of fire wood was much appreciated. We had a fire every evening and the everyone enjoyed the smores. Hot tub is also very comfortable.The house was clean and has all of the amenities needed but could probably use a couple of pizza sheets, fortunately we brought some of our own. The house also has three distinct climate zones, basement is very cool, main floor moderate, and upstairs warmer.Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend as a great family getaway.

This house was a perfect house for our family of 10! It was an absolutely beautiful home and it lived up to the pictures online. It was nicer in person actually. We all agreed that we want to come back and stay in the summer or fall or both to be able to enjoy the deck and outdoor tables and fire pit. It was just such a cold weekend so we didn’t venture outside. We loved it! We will definitely be back and will reserve it early so we make sure to get it!!
