We had a great stay here! This is a lovely house in a beautiful wooded area. It was very comfortable for our family of 4. Everyone had their own space and the living room/dining/kitchen area was also great. We enjoyed using the Owner's Club pool and facilities. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Galena!

Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay at this house nestled in a beautiful forested area. The surroundings were peaceful and perfect for relaxing. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially loved sitting outside in the mornings. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Girls Family Getaway

My adult daughters and I plan a three day getaway each spring. We found Howard and Carly’s home to be perfect for us. We enjoyed the birds in the morning while relaxing with coffee. We enjoyed exploring the area and watching movies in the evenings. The only negative was that it was too short a time together.The home had comfortable beds and everything needed for cooking away from home. Host Howard communicated quickly and helpfully.We recommend!

Lovely, peaceful place

We spent Easter weekend here and really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location. Lovely views in every direction. The house was very comfortable, spotless and filled with extra touches that made our lives easier (we especially appreciated the brand-new kitchen sponge!). We checked out the Owners' Club to play some ping-pong, pool and foosball. Thanks for sharing your home!

Great sister stay!!!

Your home is lovely and you were a great host. Thank you for sharing and so quickly responding to our plumbing needs. My only suggestion is to instal grab bars in the shower. It was difficult to get into the shower on the first floor master.

Beautiful home in the Galena Territory

This was our first time to The Galena Territory. Our trip was very successful in no small part due to the owner’s beautiful home, the clean conditions and easy communication. I was not expecting the resort feel to the area and the quick commute to downtown Galena. Big bonus. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect Home Between Downtown and Skiing

My family of 5 spent one night at this home the evening before skiing at Chestnut Mountain. We ate dinner in downtown Galena as well. The home was perfectly located between Chestnut and downtown. The home was clean, comfortable, and nestled in the woods. Highly recommend this home. We would have liked to use the screened in porch, but it was too cold to use the screened in porch. The kitchen had everything needed. The beds were comfortable. We will stay again.

house needs to have some professional rodent removal. we could hear mice running in the ceiling at night. the amount of vegetation that has grown right up to the house probably doesn't help with that problem.
