Perfect Girls Weekend
We had a great stay here for a girls weekend in Galena! Plenty of room for our group of 6 and all of the amenities we needed for a fun and relaxing time. We loved hanging out in the basement game room and hot tub. Great communication with hosts- they called ahead of our stay to welcome us and answer questions. We had a low smoke detector battery that was chirping and they were super responsive and brought a new one quickly. 15 minute drive to historic downtown area. We’d defintely book again!

Nice place, great host, good location!
We enjoyed the spacious house and made use of the porches and patios on nice evenings. It was nice to have a family room without a TV to actually sit and visit while on vacation. The downstairs area was very nice and we especially liked the hot tub and pool table! The one thing we wished was better about this property was explaining how far it was from the owners club. We were surprised to find out it was not right there close to the house. It was a very nice place to stay, enjoy a couple meals each day as a family, and most importantly relax!

Wonderful Getaway
We enjoyed our stay in this Galena home. The teenagers and adults really enjoyed the ping pong table and arcade game. Plenty of room for all of us. Check in process was easy and upfront communication was great. Two suggestions, based on our family preferences only, would be to add a TV to the main floor living room. We enjoy cooking together while watching sporting events. Secondly, a couple of the beds were firmer than we prefer. Neither items were issues… only suggestions. Thanks!

We will be back!
10/5/23-10/8/23 Long-time high school friends and their spouses met for a long weekend get-together. The home is recently updated and has enough room for the nine of us to get lost in. From the fire pit, to the hot tub (we ordered a water truck to refill it), to the pool table and PacMan, games for the kids and partially inebriated but safe adults, the huge breakfast table, TV's everywhere (HULU subscription might be a nice touch), plenty of amenities (towels, linens, toiletries, garbage bags, appliances (maybe an upgrade to some simple newer pots and pans), a barbeque grille with an extra propane tank and a large porch and wooden decks to socialize throughout. We did survive the continuous thunderstorm of acorn nut droppings from all the area oak trees. Just a short drive into Galena for all that the town has to offer. Plenty of nature available to see, including navigating around wayward turkeys and cows while driving through the rolling hills (It took us Chicagoans a few moments to confirm a bat sighting but we’re happy that a result of having one around meant there were no flying bugs to deal with). The scenic views remind you that Illinois is definitely not all that flat and has plenty to look at. This location would be suitable for visiting year-round. We would definitely consider returning for a reunion. Plenty of memories created on this trip (unfortunately, pictures were taken and preserved) Patti & Andy, Jeanne & Lou, Linda & Mark, Wendy & Steve, John

40th Birthday Getaway
We stayed here for my 40th birthday, family getaway. The cabin was pleasantly stocked with everything we needed and then some. The pictures and description is very accurate from what we experienced. Our family of 5 enjoyed ending our evenings in the hot tub off the lower deck and lighting a fire in the living room fireplace. The host provided seasoned firewood off the driveway which was a plus. Not pictured is an outdoor fire pit. Although we didn’t get a chance to use it, it looked nice as well. We would definitely look into returning to this rental when we come back to Galena.

Wonderful home and extremely nice property manager
This is a house with everything!! Beautiful location. We spent our family Christmas here and the kids loved everything that there was to do on the property. It was extremely cold out with negative wind chills but the kids loved going to the club and spending time in the pool. The property manager was extremely helpful before we got there telling us what the area had to offer and even when we were there and had an issue. Extremely responsive to all questions and issues. We definitely want to visit again.
