This house was perfect for us and our adult kids. All the bedrooms were very comfortable and between the family room upstairs and the entertainment space downstairs, plenty of room for all seven of us to spread out and enjoy. Would highly recommend if looking for a place to stay in Galena area.

Cozy & Roomy

The property is gorgeous- we loved that we all got king beds and bathrooms- plenty of places to cuddle up with a book or play some games. We loved downtown Galena especially Galena Bakehouse. The hot tub was lovely- a fun experience during the winter, but definitely be careful for ice etc. The kitchen was amazing. The whole place was clean. My family really enjpyed our stay

All was well. A few small things could have been better. Simple things like: burnt out lights in ceiling and hallway, sharpened scissors, new potato peeler, pots and pans with more secure handles. Better ventilation in master bathroom above the shower would help the paint on the wall.Once again very small items. Overall is was great! We look forward to visiting again.

Perfect Home in Galena Territory

The home was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen. Bedrooms were great with nice King beds, night stands with lamps and full bath for each. The views outside the large windows were beautiful. Great sunsets and stargazing! The spacious lower level was a fun gathering space.

Perfect place to stay

Our 2 daughters and sons-in-laws and us stayed here in July. The separation of the bedrooms gave us privacy, but we could all be together. Lots of great space and gathering spots in this house and we used the hot tub each night and enjoyed stargazing. Not too far from town, (about 9 min). Simple decor that is homey, but not in the way of putting out our things. We felt right at home. Highly recommend!

Loved the location and place. Felt very clean and comfortable. There were two things that we would give a heads up about, the hot tub did not seem clean, and no soap in showers. Other than that, thumbs up all the way!
