Memorial Day Weekend

A group of 9 adults and 2 children enjoyed our stay. The location is convenient to Galena and offers use of association amenities such as the clubhouse/pools. The home layout with private rooms and ample bathrooms were ideal for our group, giving everyone their own space. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cookware which facilitated us cooking in. We would recommend this property to others.

Family Get Together

The house was very accommodating to a large family gathering. Living fairly close to this location we had people coming and going and always had plenty of room for food and games. Some went skiing, some went downtown Galena and others just enjoyed the house, resort and each others company.

Beautiful Home

We rented this home for a sibling reunion. One of the reasons we chose this home was that each bedrooms had their own private bathroom. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The layout worked well for us. One thing I would recommend is bringing your own spices, seasonings & tin foil.

Great getaway for the gals.

Beautiful home, nicely decorated and comfortable and layed out. All 5 bedrooms with bathrooms are very spacious and comfortable. Lots of room to relax and huge gathering areas, including the bar area in the lower area. Great deck and hot tub! Highly recommended for your vacations. Families can have privacy when they want and then gather all in the spacious rooms to be with each other.

Girls weekend getaway

Enjoyed the beautiful and spacious property with lovely views and a quiet neighborhood. Had a lot of fun with our own happy hour in the pub downstairs. The kitchen’s ample seating made it a perfect gathering when cooking going on in the well stocked kitchen. Something special about being in a hot tub outside in the crisp air of winter. Emily and Kevin were responsive to our questions and needs. Had a great time shopping in Galena. Highly recommend.

Lovely home in a beautiful setting

Amazing home for a family vacation. It was decorated in beautiful style and there’s plenty of room outside in the back to set up games like bags. Owners were very responsive to questions and it was a pleasure dealing with them. Nice hot tub in the back. It came with some passes to the Association pool and club house (2 pools - indoor and outdoor) and is close to Galena and some hiking areas. Highly recommend this place.

Six of us enjoyed our stay! Spacious rooms and wonderful hot tub, thank you! A couple oddities were the main floor showers weren't intuitive to turn on and stumped us, and the rules stated we needed to use plastic glasses in hot tub but there weren't any. Also would've been nice to have a few basic staples like Pam spray or oil, etc.

Weekend family celebration!

12 of us were able to easily stay in this house! It was the perfect backdrop for our family get away with all the siblings. Just enough away from downtown galena to have a peaceful retreat. We went into downtown galena for the morning of check in and explored. Check in was all online and a breeze! The house is set up wonderfully with full baths attached to every bedroom. Very spacious! The great room was perfect for us. We all like to gather to prep food and dine. The kitchen was well supplied! Grill is updated and perfect! Webers are awesome grills. The decks are great for morning coffee or night stargazing! We enjoyed both! It was fantastic that the fireplace and fire pit was available! The fact that wood is supplied makes it even BETTER!! We love telling family stories by the fires. Great experiences overall and we would surely return for another get away!! Thanks so much almost heaven rentals!!!
