The RELAXING RETREAT was just as advertised. The screen room was a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy being surrounded by nature. Beds were comfortable and the en suite with each bedroom provided the desired privacy. The kitchen provided adequate extras and was well designed for cooking and eating together.

What a wonderful place to slow down with my family and regroup for a fun time. This was the perfect spot to host our family get away. We had ample room for all, plus the large screened in porch, dining table/game night table and hot tub were favorite spots for everyone. Thank again!

A great 4 days!

This property was ideal for our family and was very well stocked with everything needed for our stay. The screened in porch was wonderful and our kids enjoyed making s'mores around the beautiful fire pit. The setting was very peaceful and the home owners made us feel most welcome with a complimentary bottle of wine

Summer 2025 Family Gather

This property was an excellent stay for our family get together. The washer/dryer and upstairs tub not working were a minor inconvenience, but we did receive communication from the host that they were down. Our family has been meeting every summer in Galena for at least six years now and we would definitely rent this house again!

Great stay!

This property was a great choice for our family vacation. We liked the layout and appreciated how well stocked it was. Easy check in and check out process. Questions were answered promptly. Will note that the jetted tub in the master bath is not in working order, but we had no issues using the outdoor hot tub.

Gals in Galena!

We are four "mature" women who annually get together somewhere in the Midwest. We enjoyed our stay at Sara and Andrew's place. They were very responsive to our needs and followed up quickly. The location was fine and we certainly got to be with nature! The home has all the amenities in the bathrooms and kitchen areas that one needs for a brief stay. We enjoyed our time in Galena and the home we stayed in certainly made the experience there even better.

HS Girlfriend Getaway

We loved this property. It was so serene and quiet. Our highlights of the home were the lovely enclosed porch, fire-pit and hot tub. The owners provided wood which many do not do. We loved coming "home" each day after exploring Galena and the surrounding area to an evening of preparing great meals and just relaxing. I would highly recommend this property. Very clean and well stocked.

Home Sweet Home

Our group truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The location was perfect and just a short 20 minute drive to Main Street. We loved the front porch, the screened in back porch, the fire pit and absolutely loved being able to cook meals together in the kitchen. 4 ladies went together and we each had our own room and bathroom. We also enjoyed the privacy of the home with its beautiful sunsets and really enjoyed the hot tub. It had everything we needed and we were so comfortable with the communication we had with Andrew. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Sisters' Holiday

From the easy in-out circular driveway to the welcoming front porch, the comfortable beds, en suite bathrooms, hot tub, lovely screened porch, not to mention use of the owners' club facility and hiking trails, Sara & Andrews place was perfect for our Sisters' Holiday in the Midwest. Communication with our hosts was superior and responses kind and thoughtful. Every aspect of this lovely home nestled in the quiet wooded cul de sac lent itself to comfortable relaxation. We've already planned to return. Thank you Sara & Andrew for making our Sisters' Holiday a wonderful getaway. Susan, Vickie, Diana, Terri and Barb

Perfect Family Retreat

Perfect choice for a relaxing and fun filled extended family weekend! Highly recommended! Accommodations were spot on! House was well stocked and clean. The four bedrooms with paired bathrooms provided more than ample room and privacy for our group. The full size bunk beds, foosball table and hot tub were a big hit with our grandkids. We also loved the fireplace and the fire pit! Plenty of firewood was available to stoke the fires! This rustic rural setting provided great nature hikes with bird and deer sitings along the trail. All of the above kept us happily engaged during our stay. We also had a great time Christmas shopping and dining in the picturesque and historic town of Galena. Communication with owner was optimum! House instructions were informative and accessible. Would definitely recommend this home to others and rebook future stays.
