Nice property in a beautiful neighborhood!

We enjoyed our stay! The screened in porch was so nice for bug free dining & visiting! Overall, the house was great for us, as we stayed with 2 toddlers. The 3 Bedrooms are all on different levels, providing privacy/quiet for each family. The owners club is very nice! The pool & splash pad were a hit with the kids!

This was our second time staying at this property. It is a wonderful place to stay and relax when visiting the Galena area. The host Brian is helpful and responds quickly, he kindly made reservations for our sons to play tennis at the Owners club for us on two afternoons during our stay.

Great place to stay.

After getting our original plans canceled, we looked into where we could find a place for 6 adults and a dog in a short time. We found The Nest. We had enough room for all. We really enjoyed the screened in deck for morning coffee. They are really to go back again.

Awesome House!

Couldn’t ask for a better spot for a family get together. We loved the screened in porch, hot tub, and basement game area. It was also great to be able to spread apart on the three levels. Each couple had their own bedroom and separate bath. House was just as represented in pictures, which was refreshing. Brian was very responsive as well. Would love to go back, wonderful location and very quiet and safe area.

Great stay

We had a wonderful girls weekend at The Nest. The house is very well appointed and welcoming. It was stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept great. The large dining table was a perfect place for games and the sofa provided a comfy place to enjoy television at night. We loved the hot tub! What a wonderful way to relax! We also had a nice fire in the fire pit. It was a great spot to roast marshmallows. Brian and Johnny were perfect hosts and gave us great instructions that made the whole weekend hassle free.

Getaway

Most things were fine. Needed more toilet paper and paper towels for a party of nine for a whole week. Might be time to do a thorough cleaning and inventory: some pans were rusty, hand can opener did not work, etc. Really liked the open spaces on the main level and screened in porch area. Probably need a rail by the 2 steps down from the entry as my husband took a hard fall there. Would have appreciated a map of the area and downtown. All in all a nice getaway.

Very relaxing and comfortable stay

We had a great stay. Our contact, Brian was in touch to make sure everything was going well, but didn't overdue it. It is a well-maintained, dog-friendly house. As others noted, the drapes and shades need a little updating but that is minor. The kitchen has everything you could need. We appreciated the different living spaces. The basement has a bedroom, bathroom and living area that leads out to the fire pit and hot tub. The main floor has another bedroom, bathroom, large dinning table and access to the deck. There is also a screenend in portch that was greatly appreciated. The upstairs has another bedroom and full bathroom with a jet tub. All the beds were very comfortable. The house sits back off the road a bit so you feel you are secluded in the woods, which is nice. It's a great location as there is a store and restaurant just minutes away or Galena just 15-20 minutes away, depending on traffic. It really is a great house for a family getaway or a Girl's Weekend. I will definitely book again.

Look No Further!

This was a great stay for us. We were celebrating our anniversary. Prior to the stay Brian was wonderful and answered all questions we had. We walked in and the place was exactly what it looked in the pictures. We really enjoyed that we all could spread out and have our own bedrooms throughout all three floors. The only issue is the shower heads. It was leaky and we tried to reach out with no response. Other than that, we really enjoyed the whole place. The hot tub was amazing. The screened in porch was our favorite part. My family is huge on family time so we spent a lot of time at the cabin. It was only a 15 min drive into town and well worth every penny. If you’re looking for a great spot to celebrate with your family, look no further. This is a huge recommendation from us!!
