House is perfect for our family yearly getaway. Love having a full bathroom for every bathroom. It was great for grilling family dinners and a bonus is having a pool table downstairs. We will be back.
The house was exactly as advertised. Very clean, well furnished, perfect for four friends on a golf getaway. Having four great bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect.
Loved how each room had their own bathroom. The fire pit is great as we made s ’mores. The beds are really comfortable. Kitchen is stocked with utensils and pots/pans.
Very comfortable home with screened in porch and fire pit. We loved that the home had 4 bedrooms and bathrooms for each bedroom. It was nicely decorated and kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment.
Our friends weekend was made perfect with this fabulous spacious home. Thought was put into every detail - from the well appointed rooms, to the comfortable living room and the spacious dining room table, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Questions were answered very quickly from the owners - much appreciated!!
This property was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable, clean , spacious and well supplied. We cook alot at our vacation rentals and this one was well stocked for our use! Loved the screened in porch with big trees and birds abound. With adult family members visiting us on the weekend it was great that they each had their own bedroom and bathroom. We will be back.
This property was awesome!!!!!! The home was very clean and well stocked with everything you might need. It was so nice that everyone in our family had their own bedroom and bathroom. The whole house was very spacious and cozy. The property manager was very helpful and was quick with responding to our questions Our family truly enjoyed our stay and hated to leave and go back to reality. Highly recommend choosing this place to stay
Stayed at the house for a wonderful getaway family weekend. House was more than we expected. Extremely clean and it was wonderful to have a full bathroom in every bedroom. Easy distance into town and the territory is beautiful. House has everything - we grilled family dinners for both nights and played pool. Would definitely rent again if headed back to Galena!!!
From check in to check out we enjoyed our time at your home. It was a wonderful time by all including our dogs.
It was sparkling clean, good amount of dishes, pot and pans. The beds are super comfortable. Plenty of firewood. Had a blast playing pool, ping pong and board games.
Thank you and we will be back in the future.
Great long weekend at a very comfortable property. Kitchen is well stocked. We appreciate the host providing firewood for the bonfire and fireplace. Our party of eight had plenty of room and we enjoyed the entertainment areas. The location was a good launching spot for day trips to Galena & Dubuque. For those looking for onsite recreational activities, the Owners’ Club has everything from Games, a fitness gym to basketball, swimming and tennis
The house was great,loved that each bedroom had their own bathroom.. The only complaint is that there was some critter in between the walls and when we said something they said that they couldn't do anything about it, so the sleep was not good cause that's all you heard was the critter trying to get out!. Property was nice and quiet.
The house inside was immaculate. Everything you could need was supplied in the kitchen The pool table and ping pong table made for hours of fun. Our family including dogs had another wonderful stay. The outside could use a clean up. Broken lights, no firewood on the porch. and dated furniture. Thank you for having us again!!
Very nice place to stay! We had a family group of 10 with dogs and was perfect for us! Loved that all the bedrooms had their own bathroom! The one tub bathroom is located on the lower level. With two additional bedrooms and baths located on the lower level. The pull out sofa is located on the main level with another bedroom/bathroom and half bath. We really enjoyed the kitchen area and screened in porch! The place is well taken care of and clean especially for a pet friendly place to stay! We enjoyed all the amenities the galena territories has to offer. Stephen is great to answer any questions and would love to stay there again!
