    This place is beautiful. The house was a perfect place for my daughter’s bachelorette party. Love the property, it was gorgeous. The ranch hand was very nice and quick in answering our questions. Definitely would go back.

    A group of 12 stayed on this beautiful and clean property for a weekend. Three families comfortably fit in the house with room to spare. We also had the pleasure of walking the trails and interacting with the animals on the ranch. Thank you for a memorable weekend!

    We had a lovely stay! We loved fishing at the pond, and hiking around the beautiful property. The house was well maintained and was easy to call home for our stay. Our host, Mark, was super responsive to anything we needed! My kids are begging me to book again next year. Would definitely return!

    The listing of this property does not give the beautiful views justice. We loved mornings on the large wrap around porch. The kids loved fishing in the pond and taking a walk to see the animals. All the rooms were stocked with pillows and blankets and the beds were comfy! The bathrooms were all beautiful and updated as well. The peacefulness of this property is just what we needed for our 4th annual family vacation. This was our favorite vacation by far. The kids loved the pool at Galena Territory. Overall, this immaculate home is perfect for families with all ages of children. The ranch hand was so kind and helpful. Thank you for having us!!

    We enjoyed how spacious the house was. W/ 11 of us, we felt like there was plenty of room for us to be comfortable. Having 5 bathrooms was a definite plus! The animals were a delight to visit. We made several trips down the path to visit them & named our favorites! Fishing was fun & kids even caught a large bass twice! Joe made sure to address any needs & concerns at check in & during our stay. He was friendly & informative.

    We stayed here for a long weekend to ski nearby at Chestnut Mountain. The house was perfectly comfortable for three families with children. The surroundings are gorgeous.

    The house was very clean and spacious. You can tell that much thought and care went into the recent rehab. Our group of kiddos, parents, and grandparents enjoyed the trails, animals, and access to the Galena Territory, as well as proximity to Chestnut Mountain and Galena. One night we enjoyed a cozy fire, while other nights we gathered around the large table and played board games and card games. Joe was a pleasure to communicate with and he ensured all our questions were answered and we had everything we needed for our stay. We definitely recommend this property for a family getaway.

    We got together with our son and daughter and their families for Thanksgiving. There were 13 of us! Plenty of room for all of us - everyone had a bed with a couple of beds left over! The house was advertised as being remodeled and it truly was - everything was really nice and also very clean! We all enjoyed the game room, even though my son beat me at ping pong!! The living room/kitchen area was open and very spacious. We enjoyed movies, popcorn and hot chocolate in comfort, not to mention our wonderful Thanksgiving meal! The property was nice, too - we enjoyed some short hikes and enjoyed seeing all of the animals (turkeys, ducks, goats, alpacas, miniature horses). Our only regret was that the weather prohibited us from enjoying the outside areas more - the deck and screened porch areas looked so inviting; however the 20 degree temperatures weren’t conducive to hanging out for very long. The hot tub was a hit, though!! We would definitely consider visiting this property again!

    Our golf friend group organized a stay at this house and played golf around the Galena area. The golf was great and the house was even better! Lots of space for sleep, yard games, grilling, and hanging out. The host was very helpful with golf and made the check in process easy. I would definitely recommend staying here!
