Family New Years trip

We had a relaxing and enjoyable time at our VRBO. Plenty of space to spread out and plenty of space to interact and hang out together. Kitchen was stocked pretty good. Things missing that you should bring from home if you cook too would be rolling pin and griddle (for pancakes).The owners club was great and we enjoyed working out and swimming. If we head to Galena again we would stay here.

Girls Getaway

A group of retired girlfriends on another adventure. Visited downtown Galena, Fall Festival and Galena Winery. Plenty of room for 7 people. Enjoyed our stay. Accommodations served our purpose. Didn’t use any of the Owners Club amenities but could have. Beautiful area. Very quiet.

Girls Weekend

We enjoyed our girls weekend in Galena. The house was beautiful and was decorated so cute. We each had our own floor of the home. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening drinks on the deck while the many birds paid their visit. Definately would stay again

Stay summary

This home is wonderful. My friends and I had a wonderful time. The host immediately responded to questions. The only criticism I have is the details in the cleaning. The walls in the bathroom were dirty. Some stains on the walls. But overall this a beautiful home.

College Friends Get-Together

The house was extremely clean, well stocked with enough kitchen equipment and supplies, and big enough that we all had our own space. It was great to get together, but it was also the perfect setting for us to rest and relax! We all talked about how we would love to come back in the future!

Another great stay

Our family stayed at this property for the second year and were just as impressed with all aspects! It is a beautiful home and a great escape. I will not forget just sitting and watching the birds. The owner was wonderful in answering questions and we could not be happier!

Beautiful Time

Excellent spot to stay and reconnect with family! Really enjoyed having time together, played games, shopped, hiked and ate. Scenery abounds and we thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife. The rental was clean and well maintained. Very user friendly and well stocked with plenty of kitchen options, pillows, blankets, games etc. Well equipped in all areas! Such a wonderful stay! Would rent again without question.

Great girls weekend

We stayed here for a girls weekend and it was perfect! We felt safe and comfortable during our stay. We loved being able to wake up and sit on the back porch, relax and watch the birds. It was about a 15 minute drive from downtown Galena. DThe place was very clean but there were some dead bugs on the couch and floor when we arrived. I can’t dock them stars because it is an outdoorsy area so it’s to be expected. Would stay here again. Thank you!!

Wonderful

The group of 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The check in and out process was simple, communication with the home owner was was great, and the property is beautiful. The location of the home is approximately 15 minutes from Main St. in Galena. The only complaint that each of us had in the group were the comfort of the beds. All of us felt as if the beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. We believe that each bed in the home would benefit from a foam mattress topper - this way it can be removed if someone prefers a harder mattress.

Fun times!

We had a great time and the ease of finding this property and accessing it was great! The property was secluded and comfortable. Very clean and had everything we needed. We had six of us staying at the property and with four bedrooms and three baths, they’re was plenty of privacy. Only 10 minites from downtown Galena! Thank you and I would recommend it to everyone.
