The layout of this house was perfect for our multi-generational group. Bedrooms/bathrooms on each level gave privacy and open kitchen, dining, living, screen porch gave space to be together. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely home - very clean and nicely supplied. Although we didn't use the hot tub or pool table - for groups or families that would - they are nice amenities. Lots of space.

Large comfortable home, ideal for our group of seven adults. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. The location is central to Galena, winery and outdoor activities. Also, the community’s restaurant and grocery store were a nice surprise.

Enjoyed the home, hot tub and other amenities. Bedrooms with their own baths is a must for us. This home checked all the boxes especially allowing us to bring our dog. Great stay!
