The location was great. The HUGE fenced in yard was paradise for our pupster and we couldn’t drag my son away from the fire pit. Easy access, fast communication and plenary of room inside and out makes this one a keeper for us. We will definitely be back.

Galena trip

We stayed at a beautiful home with an amazing backyard! We enjoyed our stay and we had the perfect place to relax and have a great time. Our host was fantastic and we had everything we needed to cook, grill relax and just have fun. I highly recommend Joseph’s home. I know we would love to stay here again someday.

Short getaway

This was such a nice quick getaway with the family! It was so nice to be able to bring our dogs with us!! We don’t travel much because it’s not always easy to find pet sitters but this was great and a big back yard for them to run in!

Austin Family Golf Outing

We spent a few days in Galena, where we went to the rodeo, played golf, strolled the trails, and spent quality time with our family by the pool. Our time away from home was wonderful. The mattresses were incredibly comfy, and the property was beautifully decorated and hospitable. We had an amazing time. We are grateful to the owners of the property for sharing their lovely house.
