Nice for a girls getaway.

Condo is very clean, and also seems to have been brought up to date with furniture and color schemes. Beds were all very comfortable. The table in this villa was bigger than others we have stayed at; it seated six and was nice to have the surface space. Pretty much everything you need is there. We did feel like a few more towels would have been nice but it worked out ok. Another thing that sets this rental apart, is that there are 6 owners club passes. Everywhere we have stayed only has 4, so if you have kids with you it might be to your benefit. I would stay again and I would recommend this property.

Galena Territory Weekend

Communication with the owner from the beginning was very good and the check-in information was complete.The townhouse looks like it does in the posting so there were no surprises. When we arrived we realized the thermostat wasn’t working. We contacted the owner (who seemed to know the thermostat needed to be replaced) who was very responsive in sending out a service technician and repaired the situation very quickly. We were impressed. We loved the wood burning fireplace which made the place feel very cozy. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Gutman

Host profile image
My husband and I have three daughters and we love to travel, camp, go on adventures and have fun. Our favorite travel destinations include Colorado, Utah, California and Disney :). We love hospitality and making people feel comfortable and at home. We look at travel as a time and place to get away from the daily routine and tasks of life and be present with each other and re-charge while also exploring a new place. We hope that is what people experience when we host them.
