    This was an excellent house! Perfect for our group of 3 families, all with young kids. Everything was exactly as pictured and the hosts have great communication. Would book here again if we make it back to Galena!

    Everything was great. The property was peaceful and picturesque. The rooms were clean and inviting. We enjoyed the fire pit and the night sky, the theater room, and the large amount of space. The nice things all added up and it was a great rental.

    This was, without a doubt, the best home rental we’ve ever stayed in. The amenities are stunning, and the teenagers were entertained the entire time. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped—I’m a chef, and it had every tool and utensil I could possibly need for meal prep. Cooking on the brand-new Weber grill was a highlight, especially for steaks. The home theatre is massive, and we absolutely loved it. The beds were very comfortable, and there was more than enough space for everyone. Galena is such a beautiful destination, and this house is the reason we’ll keep coming back. We can’t wait to return!

    Absolutely loved the property. All the amenities of the house were amazing! Just one thing, the day of check out Landscapers showed really early. Other than that, Steve was a Great Host!

    Our family needed a quick getaway. This home was close to all of the golf courses and downtown but also allowed us to relax and hang out as a family.

    This home is beautiful, private, and so well appointed. Steve was an excellent host, responding quickly and kindly to our questions. (No problems, just questions!) The home had something for everyone, from the massage chair, to the hot tub, to the tv's, game system, and amazing home theater. The place was immaculate, and beautifully decorated for Christmas! We had a wonderful time!
