Stayed Oct 20, 2023The house was comfortable and clean. The views from the back deck and windows looked like an Autumn painting. Jo, the manager was so nice. He took my niece to see the animals. The house could use some updating as some of the shades didn’t pull down. The bedroom downstairs is not easily accessed as you have to go outside and down a slope to enter it. Over all a nice place to stay.

Stayed Sep 29, 2023We had a great stay on this property! The host was very communicative, and Mr.Joe was attentive as well. We had 8 adults and everyone had plenty of space. The view is fantastic and so peaceful. A great getaway.

Stayed Sep 3, 2023The property and home was beautiful. Property was as described in the photos and it was indeed relaxing getaway stay that we were looking for. The host Mark was amazing and went out of his way to make sure guests had fun. He took us on a ride on his massive ranch and showed us around which made the stay even more fun! If you are visiting Galena, consider staying here!

Stayed Jun 9, 2023The Sunset Cottage was very nice. Roomy enough for our group of 8. The property was nice. The view off the back porch facing west was great! Communication between the owners and their ranch hand Joe was great! The patio and porch could use some TLC, but it wasn't important to us. Overall it was a great experience!

Stayed Sep 9, 2022Everything was awesome! We stayed at Fish Tale and the house was perfect! Country living with beautiful scenery! It was quiet and it was a great girls trip, weekend! The only thing that I would say needs replaced is the toaster, but definitely not a deal breaker for us coming back! Thanks for sharing your space with us, we'd love to come back!

Stayed Jul 30, 2022We stayed in the Sunset Cottage for a birthday getaway with our family. The property is absolutely beautiful. It is peaceful and quiet. The back deck of the cottage faces west and overlooks the valley below with rolling hills toward the horizon. The views of the sunsets were incredible. Check in was super easy, and the cottage was immaculately clean. Downtown Galena is a short drive away on Route 20 from Elizabeth. We plan on returning for more visits!

Stayed Jun 10, 2022The view was spectacular. The house was perfect for us. There were 7 of us girls for a getaway. We each had a place to sleep. We grilled, cooked, sat on the deck and watched the sunrise and set. And LAUGHED A LOT! Recommend this property and look forward to coming back. It was a great trip, communication with the host and the help was easy also ?
