    It was amazing there. Loved everything about the house. Fantastic host. There was enough room everywhere for our family. Loved cooking in the large kitchen. I just can’t say enough about house and how it just completed our vacation. Went skiing and shopping downtown Galena. We will try to do something like this more often

    Our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed 3 lovely evenings at the property. We had tons of room to spread out. Great hot tub, ping pong and pool table were enjoyed by all. Well stocked kitchen, large kitchen table and multiple large spaces to relax and watch tv at the end of our shopping days. Extremely comfortable beds and bedding in each bedroom. We've been renting in Galena for near 20 years now and this was voted as one of the best by our family!

    I booked this house for trip with girlfriends and it worked out perfectly! The house is perfect for a big group of friends or family. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen has everything anyone could need. We really enjoyed hanging out in the living room, the view of the river is beautiful. We also loved the hot tub! The owner was very communicative and provided suggestions for local restaurants. We are excited to make this an annual event and look forward to renting this house again!

    Kitchen was fully stocked, everything a group would need. The house was clean and rooms were spacious. It is the perfect space for a large group reunion like we had. Large hot tub was the clincher for us to book here.

    6 brothers and sisters, nephews,nieces, grandchildren and a dog had a wonderful time together. There is plenty of room to spread out for relaxing, playing games, and visiting. Some spent time shopping in Galena, some hiking, playing games, pool and ping pong, and playing with the dog at a very nice nearby dog park. There is so much room for a large group to just hang and visit, and eat. A lot of time was spent on the large deck visiting and enjoying the view of the lake. We saw and heard a variety of land and water birds, and a turkey! Our host promptly provided information about the home and area and quickly answered any questions we had. We had everything we needed. Great host! We would certainly stay again when in the Galena area.

    The house is big, beautiful, very clean and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked so that you could make meals to enjoy while staying there. The living room has big gorgeous windows to enjoy the view and adds so much brightness and warmth to the space. We saw people ice fishing during our stay. Game room and hot tub was also an added bonus that everyone enjoyed. This home was close to Galena too! Dan also made sure we were having a good stay and communicated with me the whole time. I appreciated that. I would highly recommend his house if you visit Galena.

    What a great place to stay with lots of room for our large extended family to meet and hang out. Although only 3 couples stayed there, there was plenty of room for our extended family of ~20 people to hang out for dinner and enjoy the view from the decks. The house had everything you could need. I was impressed with how clean it was for being such a large house and the fact that another family had just checked out that same morning. Dan was great with all the communication. We will definitely book again when we are in the area!

    This house worked well for our weekend get-together with family. The house was clean, stocked with most items you might need (bathrooms, kitchen, entertainment) plus items that you might want. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely separated, the common areas were spacious and furnished (deck, huge kitchen island, table/chairs, comfy chairs, sofas, etc.), and the basement ping pong and pool tables as well as the blackboard were entertaining. The owner was responsive and helpful. All and all, the property was a great venue for our family get-together. We would stay at this property again.
