Very clean, quiet. Enjoyed sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee in the morning listening to the birds. 10 min drive to Galena.
We stayed here for half marathon in galena. Location is good. They could use more pots/pans, blankets/towels, etc. It was pretty bare bones and not enough pans to make our dinners each night. Very clean and comfortable otherwise.
We have been visiting Galena for about 10 years now. This home was perfect and was immaculate. It had everything we needed and the location was great for sunsets and wildlife. We would absolutely return. Thank you
The property is really nice and in a great private location but the cleanliness needs to better! I’m not even sure the downstairs shower was cleaned because I found someone’s leftover shampoo and body wash in there and several dark hairs in the shower as well as one on back of toilet bowl and in the sink! When we got into the bed downstairs the comforter had a brown spot on it on the white side of it and I’m just hoping it was from someone eating chocolate in the bed! Also when I went to take out a drinking glass out of kitchen cabinet I could see lip prints on it! Overall it’s a really beautiful place but again the cleaning needs to be improved!
Great for a quick getaway!
I loved everything, but maybe add a few kid friendly cups/dishes.
The property was just perfect for our stay. The layout worked well. The bedroom on the main floor worked well for someone unable to do stairs. Each bedroom having a bathroom was also helpful. We did clean the coffee pot with some vinegar and water mixture. It was running slow.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Galena!
Comfortable, quiet, nice home. Easy to get around territory or into Galena. Enjoyed our stay!
Very nice house. Would recommend to friends.
Nice quiet area. Layout was great with plenty of space for guests. All the essential supplies were available. The waterfalls are a must see. Overall a great property.
Loved the layout of this house. We never felt crowded!
My family of 4 went and another family stayed at this home. We loved that each room had its own bathroom! And the kids loved the bunk beds! The house had everything we needed. It is in a great location - close to the shopping, trails, and owners club!
Our stay overall was very nice. Property was as described. It was clean and comfy for the family that stayed and the four that visited for meals. Check in was clear, the binder at the property was detailed. We didn't take advantage of the Owner Amenities on the resort, but still had a nice time.
The house was not really clean as it shld have been. The microwave and refrigerator were not even wiped out. The microwave was a filthy mess on the inside.
The house is perfect for a family of 5-6, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You can't beat the view from the floor to ceiling windows and the kitchen and dining area are large enough to host a big group of people. One downside is there is no garage or catch all space especially for skiers to put away their equipment. Upon entering the property, however, we noticed that there were debris on the floor, the coffee maker hasn't been cleaned to the point where it was moldy and the cupboards and kitchen utensils were dirty. The bathrooms were not properly cleaned and the carpets were full of crumbs and dirt from previous tenants. We probably left the place cleaner than it was when we came because we swept and wiped some of the surfaces. The lower level bunkbeds seem like a fun idea especially for the kids but the top bunks were unusable because they are so close to the ceiling and the railings were so low that you could easily fall out. The beds were fairly comfortable. The lower level area was considerably colder than the upstairs and it would have helped to have heaters in the bedrooms to make people more comfortable. We still had a very nice stay and I would recommend this place to my friends.
Jolene was very responsive to any questions we had. The home was clean and well maintained. It was just what we were looking for in a quiet family getaway!
The location of the home was perfect. There was enough space for our family of 4 to be comfortable. The kitchen was stocked and the coffee bar section was a plus. The house had good WiFi which was a plus when you have 2 kids that like to play on their iPads. I would definitely return.
We had six family members stay here for a girl’s weekend. We had a wonderful time at the house and in Galena. Plenty of beds for everyone. We made a few meals in the kitchen and found everything we needed except a toaster.
This is the perfect place! Communication was a breeze. Check in was beyond easy. Very clean and in such a beautiful area. I would love to come back to this place! So close to Galena but yet you feel like you’re tucked away. I would absolutely recommend this place!
