Wonderful place to go to unwind. Haley is a wonderful host.
It couldn't have done my health any better. You have to go there and see how peaceful and beautiful it is. Just wish check in was maybe 2 hour's earlier. Otherwise perfect.

Lovely Holiday Weekend
The Aspen House is well stocked and nestled in a lovely patch of land. My kids really enjoyed the outdoor play equipment and we put the fire pit to good use. It rained for part of our stay and the projector was fun for the kids to watch a movie on. My husband enjoyed that a grill was available and since it was on the screen porch, he was able to use it during the rain. Finally, Hailey is a great communicator and quickly responded to any questions I had. Great property!

Cozy getaway for a girls weekend in Galena
Great location close to Galena but still away from everything. Perfect for our group of 5 adult women (late-30s) to celebrate a friends recent marriage.

Amazing getaway
This place is a treasure. My husband, teen age son and our dog stayed at Aspen House for nearly a week and we truly did not want to leave. It was so comfortable, quiet and private yet only 15 minutes from Downtown Galena. Right outside the door were miles of beautiful hiking trails. We enjoyed the firepit and relaxing on the screened porch and as others have said, there are wonderful, comfortable spaces to gather or to be alone. Communication was fantastic. We will be back!

Can't ask for more
This was a cute little house in the woods, near hiking trails and nice amenities. A short 15 minute drive to Galena. Everything was clean and Hailey, the host, was quick to respond to any messages.
