Great space with a lot of stairs. It really is special out the large back windows as you walk down the the stairs to the bottom two bedrooms, kitchen, dining/game room, deck, and screened in porch. We loved it all!
This beautiful Galena property was everything we hoped for! It was quiet, clean, and spacious—perfect for a long weekend friends’ getaway. The stunning fall scenery and peaceful neighborhood within a short walk to the waterfall created the ideal setting for a relaxing trip. The only drawback was the limited transportation options to and from downtown Galena, but we’ll plan ahead for that next time. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!
This is a great summer vacation spot with access to many accommodations like pools, golf courses and many other amenities. I would highly recommend it to families. It is also very close to Galena which has tons of things to do and many great restaurants.
We had a great time staying in Galena at this property. Wonderful area and great place to stay. We had everything that we needed. The check-in and check-out process was so easy. All went well and definitely recommend this place to stay. Thanks again for making it a wonderful trip!
This home was the perfect place for a girls weekend. Clean and plenty of room for our group of 5. We spent most of the weekend exploring Galena, but spent nights staying up late talking and playing games!
Our group had a wonderful stay. The property was clean and well-stocked. Two porches, one screened and the other open, provided nice areas for us to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We also liked the close proximity to Galena. Would definitely stay there again.
Perfect house to view the fall colors. Felt like we were in a cottage tree house ! Lovely layout and comfortable with everything we needed.Galena is a charming beautiful town too!
The house was even better than expected. Very clean, fit seven adults just fine. Loved the open concept and the beautiful property. Perfect for our long weekend in Galena - close enough to downtown but not too close!
We stayed at this property because we wanted to be outside if downtown Galena but also be within driving distance. It was an easy 10 minute drive to downtown. Clean house and they had everything we needed!
The owners were very kind and accommodating. We loved the fireplace loft area. My friends and I mostly spent our time there playing games and hanging out. It was very cozy. We wish it was warmer out to enjoy the outdoor area. It was SO cute out there. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed in this house with my parents and our infant child. We had enough bedrooms to accommodate the 5 of us and it was optimal location to trails, golf course, and city center (Galena) . Would recommend this house for anyone looking to travel to Galen.
My family and I were so pleased with our stay here! The house was super cute, super clean, and very charming. We had no questions because our hosts had laid out everything so clearly. Highly recommended!
