    Both myself and Winston really enjoyed our recent stay. I got to experience fancy toilet :) and Winston could roam around the property. Condo was super clean and very nicely decorated. I wish we stayed 2 nights as originally planned...

    The experience exceeded our expectations. Central to everything, but secluded enough to enjoy the peace of the countryside. A gorgeous property with an amazing one bedroom apartment tucked away mid-field on a 2900’ grass runway. For aviation enthusiasts (“avgeeks”) you feel like a barnstormer may appear at any moment. The decor was a perfect blend of orchard and aviation, and I personally enjoyed reading through the regional VFR charts and Terminal procedures left of the bookshelf over morning coffee. One other noteworthy mention, communication with the host was outstanding. You have to book this place, we’re going back again in a couple weeks. (Portland, Oregon).

    This idyllic stay was the perfect fit for a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. We loved walking around the property and along the airstrip, stopping to soak in the sun and vistas. The landscape is so serene and pastoral—wonderful for stargazing, watching the sunset, and disconnecting. The suite itself was bright, well-appointed, so comfortable, and clean. It was also in a convenient location, with Galena, the Galena Territory, and Elizabeth within a 20-minute drive. Karen was quick to respond and accommodating. I'd love to stay again and would recommend!
