Gameroom in Galena Rocks!

The gameroom at this home was a hit with our younger guests, freeing up time for the adults to visit. The large hottub also was also hit. Everyone in our party would rebook this very large home for another mini-reunion.

Winter Adventure in Galena

Great accommodation for Galena trip!!!The cabin was very cold upon arrival and warmed relatively quickly. A 3.5 bath home and unable to use one of full baths because of frozen pipes. However, Great kitchen. Excellent communication with property owner. Clean hot tub. Comfortable beds. Would definitely return!

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!

Great Jacuzzi, fire pit, stocked kitchen more

Kids loved the Jacuzzi and game room TVs in every room provided a relaxed bedroom experience jacuzzi is conveniently located right off the basement game room porch fire pit is large with many seats huge stack of firewood is provided w/fire starters and lighters to make lighting the fireplace or firepit easy Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would ever need and much more pots and pans for miles plus instapot, crockpot, indiv. pod coffee maker, 12 cup coffee maker, food processor, blender, smoothie maker and much more grill was conveniently located on upper deck right off kitchen we were able to bring our dog for a minimal fee, which made it easier for us just bring yourself, your clothes and food and you're good to go check in and check out was easy with an easy to follow list of very minimal tasks to complete. Owner's club was nice and huge indoor pool is great fun next time, we'll come during a warmer season to try the outdoor pool with 2 slides!Only cons:We wish we had more than 6 lanyards for the owner's club (indoor pool, game room & exercise equip. room). We think if a rental is advertised to sleep 10, then 10 lanyards should have been provided. 6 of us could go for free but the other 4 had to pay a 5 fee. We thought the rental was priced high enough without adding this on top. Also, the house cleaner could pay a little more attention next time... we found a pair of underwear and trash left behind from the previous tenant.

Amazing Cabin in Galena Territory

The house was just as described. Proximity to the owners club and downtown Galena was perfect. Great get away home for the family. Kids had a blast playing with the toys and enjoying the bonfire at night.

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!
