We had a wonderful time over Thanksgiving! There were 3 couples and each had their own bathroom.There wa plenty of firewood for relaxing by the fireplace. We would definitely stay here again.
This was a great stay for us. We were celebrating our anniversary. Prior to the stay Brian was wonderful and answered all questions we had. We walked in and the place was exactly what it looked in the pictures. We really enjoyed that we all could spread out and have our own bedrooms throughout all three floors. The only issue is the shower heads. It was leaky and we tried to reach out with no response. Other than that, we really enjoyed the whole place. The hot tub was amazing. The screened in porch was our favorite part. My family is huge on family time so we spent a lot of time at the cabin. It was only a 15 min drive into town and well worth every penny. If you’re looking for a great spot to celebrate with your family, look no further. This is a huge recommendation from us!!
We had a wonderful girls weekend at The Nest. The house is very well appointed and welcoming. It was stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept great. The large dining table was a perfect place for games and the sofa provided a comfy place to enjoy television at night. We loved the hot tub! What a wonderful way to relax! We also had a nice fire in the fire pit. It was a great spot to roast marshmallows. Brian and Johnny were perfect hosts and gave us great instructions that made the whole weekend hassle free.
The nest was PERFECT for our girls weekend! We will definitely use this property again in the future. Very clean and close to everything.
Cozy, nice time
The home was very clean, in a quiet area, and very easy to find! There was plenty of room for my friends and family while we hosted my bachelorette here! Having two living rooms was also a plus!
Couldn’t ask for a better spot for a family get together. We loved the screened in porch, hot tub, and basement game area. It was also great to be able to spread apart on the three levels. Each couple had their own bedroom and separate bath. House was just as represented in pictures, which was refreshing. Brian was very responsive as well. Would love to go back, wonderful location and very quiet and safe area.
Overall it was a good experience.
Property had everything we needed for a relaxing stress free vacation. With lots to see and do around the area, everyone was well entertained. Overall I would definitely stay here again!
Most things were fine. Needed more toilet paper and paper towels for a party of nine for a whole week. Might be time to do a thorough cleaning and inventory: some pans were rusty, hand can opener did not work, etc. Really liked the open spaces on the main level and screened in porch area. Probably need a rail by the 2 steps down from the entry as my husband took a hard fall there. Would have appreciated a map of the area and downtown. All in all a nice getaway.
The location of the house was great. Less than a 6 minute drive to the general store and to the owners club and 10 minutes to the marina. It was also great that unlike some of the other properties in the Galena territory, we didn’t have to haul our garbage to the dumpster, we were able to leave it in the bins outside. The house was mostly clean, although there was a small ant problem in the kitchen. The only issue we had was the bunk beds in the downstairs bedroom. There is very limited headroom on both the top and bottom and it’s a tight fit. You definitely cannot sit up straight in either bed so if your counting on those beds for anyone other than a child, it will be challenging. Other than that, it’s a well maintained house. Owner was responsive with questions. Location can’t be beat.
This was our second time staying at this property. It is a wonderful place to stay and relax when visiting the Galena area. The host Brian is helpful and responds quickly, he kindly made reservations for our sons to play tennis at the Owners club for us on two afternoons during our stay.
Perfect
The Nest was the perfect place for our family gathering. It was clean and comfortable. Thank you!
This property was everything we expected plus more. The house was spacious, and had everything we needed. It was really nice having the separate levels as well. The ping pong table, laundry and hot tub were much appreciated. The area of Galena was also wonderful. We took advantage of the activities in the territory, as well as several trips downtown to check out the sights. We would highly recommend this property, and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Great place in Galena / host was very easy to work with and great about our dog
My husband, two young adult daughters, and two dogs spent a week in late August at this lovely home. The layout and amenities are great: Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, each on its own level, four tv’s, sound system, whirlpool tub, screened in porch and deck with grill. Screened porch was a big favorite! The property is managed by a property management company, and communications were very good. We had a couple of minor issues and they responded right away. The Galena territory is pretty, but activities are limited. We are not golfers but did take advantage of the hiking trails. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the photos and seems to be mostly used by young children. That was probably the biggest disappointment. Despite this, overall was a very relaxing week.
Beautiful home with a great layout. We especially loved the outdoor room for breakfast and reading. Everything was just perfect!
Great place, great time. Brian was super helpful!
My family and I have stayed at the Nest twice and would happily stay again. There is plenty of space for my family of four + my mom. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and lounging on the large sectional couch at night watching movies on the 70+ inch TV. The property is nicely situated a short drive to the owners club or the general store. Overall, very happy with our stay.
It was a beautiful location. Nice bedrooms with a bathroom for each. Kitchen was well stocked. Nice porches and hot tub. Would stay here again!!
Our group spent a few nights here for a quick getaway. The home is spacious and comfortable, and the added amenities at the Owner’s Club is a nice bonus. We had a good trip!
