Long weekend with old friends. The house is very accommodating for a large group. A lot of space, beds, bathrooms. It could use some updating. I few things didn’t work properly and outside maintenance was needed. It was very clean and plenty of amenities.

The best 30th

I absolutely loved this house to stay at and celebrate for my 30th birthday. The house was exactly like the pictures but better. I attempted to introduce something different from our city life and they loved it. Checking in was a breeze. The only thing that could've been better was the hot tub (it was having some malfunctions) but our second day someone came bright and early to do some work on it unannounced. My friends and I are planning our next visit already.

Perfect Winter Getaway

We rent a house in Galena Territory every year for New Years and this was the best one yet for our group. The bedrooms were a great size and provided plenty of personal space. The living rooms, kitchen, and eating area were all nice open spaces that allowed our group to hang out while some cooked or watched TV. The hot tub was well taken care of and worked perfect. But the most perfect space was the bar downstairs that provided a hangout spot every night. The kids had a blast playing in the snow, the dads watched football, and the moms enjoyed the town with shopping and wine tasting. All in all, a perfect winter getaway and one that looks to be just as amazing in the summer!

Spacious home with beautiful views of Lake Galena

We had 4 adults and 7 kids in our group and everyone had a bedroom and bed, the house has ample space. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and it’s open to the living and dining room allowing families to hang out while prepping meals. The living room has a fireplace and they provide the fire starters and wood for it. There’s a Weber grill on the first floor with an extra tank and all the grilling tools are there too. The hot tub on the lower level was really nice, we enjoyed it every day. I think we were the first visitors after winter because the house could have used a quick overall cleaning before we arrived, but I’ll take that up with the management team. The upper balcony does need some repairs, there’s some floorboards that are rotted and the railing has a missing spindle. We had to keep the kids off that porch for safety reasons. But we did notify management so hopefully it gets fixed. Overall the home was fantastic and we’d stay there again.

Memorial Day Weekend

A group of 9 adults and 2 children enjoyed our stay. The location is convenient to Galena and offers use of association amenities such as the clubhouse/pools. The home layout with private rooms and ample bathrooms were ideal for our group, giving everyone their own space. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cookware which facilitated us cooking in. We would recommend this property to others.

Girls weekend getaway

Enjoyed the beautiful and spacious property with lovely views and a quiet neighborhood. Had a lot of fun with our own happy hour in the pub downstairs. The kitchen’s ample seating made it a perfect gathering when cooking going on in the well stocked kitchen. Something special about being in a hot tub outside in the crisp air of winter. Emily and Kevin were responsive to our questions and needs. Had a great time shopping in Galena. Highly recommend.

Family Get Together

The house was very accommodating to a large family gathering. Living fairly close to this location we had people coming and going and always had plenty of room for food and games. Some went skiing, some went downtown Galena and others just enjoyed the house, resort and each others company.
