Absolutely Perfect
A Group of 4 long time friends and their spouses booked this trip. This house was perfect for what we were looking for. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was ideal. The house was immaculate. The furnishings, down to the silverware, plates, bowls and accessories were perfect. The area was phenomenal. You are in a somewhat wooded area. The property was a little secluded with neighbors far enough away that no one would be bothered by each other. The sites for the back deck were awesome. We saw plenty of deer and turkey. On Saturday we all sat on the back deck and did quite a bit of star gazing, no light pollution whatsoever. We got to see plenty of shooting stars. The bedrooms were all good size with ample closet space. The biggest bedroom upstairs was the master and the adjoining bathroom was hellacious. Rain shower spout along with a hand held shower was my wife's dream shower. The basement (that included 2 bedrooms) was also very spacious and a good hanging out point. I would definitely book this place again for a group of 6-8. No problems encountered. It was a bout a 15 minute drive into Galena.

Beautiful property with plenty of space for our family of 11. Each of the four families were able to have their own bedroom and bathroom. We also had access to the Owner’s Club amenities, which was enjoyed by all.
