Love this house. It’s comfortable and clean feels like home.
Lots of room with spacious main floor where we could all be together and game areas and porches for separation. Everything on the interior of the cabin was clean and the kitchen was well-equipped with a new toaster and coffeemaker (although I would have preferred a keurig type with pods). The beds and pillows were plentiful and comfortable. The linens were clean but worn. The screened in porches needed a good dusting, and the doors to the outside didn’t lock or even fully close. Even so, we enjoyed the upstairs screened porch, playing scattergories on a stormy night! The gas grill is on its last leg, but we managed to light part of it and cooked in shifts. Location is great. Convenient to everything. Instructions for tv, internet, etc… were easy to follow. Host responded quickly to emails and helped me rent a pontoon. We had a great time and would go back.
Special times.
A ton of great spaces, we will have to make another trip and bring family and friends along.
Very quiet and relaxing. The Apple Canyon Lake area was very nice as well!
I absolutely loved this rental except for the fact that my friends complained of stains on the bedding and I also found stains on the bedding that is why I gave cleanliness a three everything else was great...
Quiet location, great for getting away. We all enjoyed the cabin very much. Was very roomy and suited us all. Everything was clean and stocked well with basic necessities. We loved it and hope to return.
...this is the place for you. Filthy. Disgusting. Unsafe. We found beer bottles, dirty underwear, and a ziploc bag of drugs under the bed. DO NOT BRING CHILDREN. Things are dusty, broken, and hazardous. If you came for the hot tub, DO NOT COME. They blamed the jacuzzi not heating on us because the water level got low when we all got in. However, the truth of the matter is one of our guests got in both hot tubs they gave us access to on her own for at least 15 minutes and it was cold both times before the water level lowered. The property manager made us go to another property to get the hose after we asked her to help us so it became a job to refill a hot tub that never worked in the first place. The hot tub is really small and has one jet that no one feels. It's a Luke warm outdoor bath at best. While working at the other house, we noticed the hot tub over there appeared better. I believe they offered us access to that hot tub because I mentioned it. But it was dysfunctional as well. We did make mistakes when trying to work the hose and do the work on our own. But again, I left a voice-mail asking the property manager to come fix it once we realized how complicated things were getting (we originally offered to fill it ourselves) and she responded by texting us instructions of getting what we needed from the house next door). So that's on them for leaving us to do something that they originally offered to do and we eventually asked them to do. The water began to overflow because we came upstairs to warm up. Our hands were freezing from working. Mice droppings were everywhere on every level of the house. On the counters on the ledge, on the floor, under the bed,on the windows. Everywhere. We barely wanted our things in the house when we realized how bad it was. The place is utterly disgusting. We tried to make the best of it. We cleaned, we disinfected, we threw things away that were not ours and sent a list of all the issues to the owners. The property managers responded with an equal, in length, letter blaming us for most of it and explaining that the mice problem is the fault of past guests who leave the door open and it being in the woods. Not that the house has several entry points that need to be sealed. Not clean, Rosebud is not accountable, not safe, not worth the money. They offered to refund the cleaning fee which we are waiting on. We stayed at one of their properties last year and had the opposite experience. Never again though
Property is huge. Indoor is updated but some places were never dusted … Back porch and jacuzzi need rehab. Also TV set was old fashioned without on demand programs. Since we didn’t come there to watch Tv that wasn’t big issue. Overall great experience- kitchen well equipped, comfortable living room furniture and mattresses in bedrooms Thank you! Galena territory is beautiful during fall:)
The host is absolutely amazing and responded to all of my messages within minutes. The house is very spacious and comfortable. We were close to the lake which is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend this property!
This is a great family friendly home and we have stayed here before and will again
Overall the house was nice and the location was great however it was not clean. Also the patio door was broken and we couldn’t lock it.
We have a family with 3 small children, and this Apple River Canyon property was absolutely ideal! It had every amenity in the home for a comfortable stay, play was close to all ARC activities offered. Can't wait to come back!
The property matched the description and everything was very clean. It was also easy to find. Thank for everything!
Thank you for renting us out your place. Here are a few things I noticed. - Trip hazard (rug) both upstairs and downstairs(this needs fixed asap) - No pot holders in the kitchen - No kitchen towels - no cutting boards - Towels ALL NEED replaced (dirty/stained) - Remove the fake plants (dust collector) so much dust! - No clear directions for garbage/pool/amenities (green book is very outdated....almost 15 years) - Needs a deep clean over all (window coverings, window sills, back porch, remove fake flowers) - Couch handle broken/foot lift broken - not enough toilet paper (one roll had a brown stain on it ) This could be FANTASTIC but it needs a little work and a BIG DEEP CLEANING. Overall it was a great place for a little getaway. Thank you for renting!
We had a great time at this property. Its proximity to the marina and the trails was fantastic. Inside was spacious and clean. We would love to return and would highly recommend this to other families.
Great time ! Loved it! It was very clean. Everything was great except our hot tub experience. Only one jet worked. When we called the management to let them know about the hot tub not being in working order we were told we should’ve rented a different unit. We were not appreciative of that response, but other than that the overall experience was great. We enjoyed the game tables and the cleanliness of the property. The beds were extremely firm. Property was further outside of Galena then we anticipated.
