    First impression was how cute it was. As the time went on, it was not just cute but everything we needed to unwind. The hot tub was great, the fire pit in the screened in patio was so relaxing. After spending time in downtown Galena, we couldn’t wait to get back and relax.

    We loved the house and the area. This was our first time staying in Galena and we spent a lot of the time relaxing at the house. Beth was great, she sent a google doc on the house and area (including how to use equipment in the house, restaurant recommendations..etc) ahead of time. She messaged the night before and said that we could check in early because the property would be ready, which we appreciated. She also emailed the next morning to make sure everything was good with the property. The night before we left there was an ice storm and she called someone to salt right away and let us know that someone would be coming. That impressed us, especially knowing we were leaving and would need to get out of the driveway. The house itself is beautiful, we loved the decor and furniture. Loved the privacy and quiet as the house backs up to woods. It was probably the most stocked house that we've stayed at. It's nice to have a host that provides plenty of kitchen utensils and even things like a variety of spices, sandwich bags, but especially enough toilet paper and paper towels. Would definitely stay at this house again.

    Our family stayed here in November for a fun getaway to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was an amazing time! The kids and adults loved all of the games downstairs. The kids also enjoyed the roomy bunk beds and the plethora of toys to play with. Our biggest reason for renting the house was the hot tub, and it did not disappoint! A nice surprise was having Alexa available both upstairs and downstairs. We have formed a bit of a dependence on her at home, and it was so nice that she was able to join us on our trip. :-) Everything was so clean, and it's easy to see that careful attention has gone into decorating and stocking every bit of the house. All of the odds and ends we needed were available and in good shape. Communication with the owner was easy and pleasant. Thank you so much for a wonderful place to spend a big milestone birthday!

    Property was as advertised very clean and comfortable we all had a wonderful time and made many memories. Galena is such a cute town and less that a 15 minute drive we enjoyed shopping and looking around there as well, my kids enjoyed some hiking around the Galena Territory where the house is located, over great long weekend

    My family had a wonderful stay at this lovely home! We had a hiccup on arrival about the previous cleaning crew, but Beth took immediate action to rectify the situation. She was very responsive to questions and wants her guests to have a great experience. This home has everything you need to have a good time, rain or shine. We loved the nightly hot tub, early morning walks, and plethora of games. Wish we had more time to explore the area, it will have to wait until next time!
