Great stay

Quiet location but close enough to Galena for an easy trip. Only issue was the coffee maker. With 6 coffee drinkers waiting 40 mins for a pot of coffee was annoying. But everything else was great. Highly recommend

Wonderful Winter Retreat

The house was big enough for our group of six adults dog, with plenty of places to spread out and relax. We were able to use the hot tub until the temps dropped below 10 degrees but there were plenty of other things to do. The house isn't far from downtown Galena and is an easy drive with only a few twists and turns. The fireplace kept us warm and we had plenty of firewood for cozy nights at home. I would highly recommend this rental.

Perectlt positioned between Chestnut Mountain and Galena!

Awesome spot for a winter getaway with the whole family! Each bedroom has its own bathroom, huge dining table for meals and games, hot tub on the lower porch, gorgeous wooded lot! We could not have asked for more.

Great location for winter stay

Plenty of room and nice warm options for our ski trip with fireplace and hot tub. Loved the number of bathrooms for each room and it would be a great option for couples traveling together! The kitchen table has loose leafs which needs repair, but had a lovely stay.

Perfect setting

We had a group of 7 and this hone was perfect! Nestled in a wooded neighborhood. The screened in porch was perfect for our morning coffee and for game nights. The hot tub on the back porch was nice & private, with trees as a backdrop. Lots of room, comfy beds & nicely decorated.
