    My main disappointment was the hot tub. While sitting in the hot tub, we all had some reaction to the cleaning/disinfectant agent used. Very strong clorine smell which left us with irritated skin. My best guess was an over competition of chemicals in lieu of a good cleaning. The house was comfortable, but a good deep clean is badly needed.

    Our stay was with our teenage son and 5 of his buddies celebrating his 17th birthday. We were really pleased with the home and it was perfect for the occasion. Game room was fun but most the time they spent at the house was in the hottub and around the fire. We appreciated the master bedroom being located upstairs and them being downstairs lol. We do think a light could come in handy on top deck. Also struggled a bit with how dark the side of the house was starting fires/ roasting hotdogs in the dark. A light on that side would have come in handy too. But we could have also brought a flashlight and would next time . The bedding and bath towels were very nice which is something i always appreciate! Host also stocks paper towels, foil & saran wrap, dish soaps and detergent. So nice not having to pack all that! Its also so nice having access to all the amenities within the Territories. Over all the house was very clean and would definitely stay again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked a couple of weeks in the fall hoping to relax and enjoy the fall colors. We were not disappointed, the colors were spectacular and our stay was wonderful. The house was bright, clean and well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals during our visit. The home backs up to a forest with nearby walking trails and although we did not use it, the owners even allow you to park in their garage. The master bedroom is on the first floor which is great for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.We have been renting homes from Vacation Homes of Galena for several years and Linda is great to work with: always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have. I'm sure we will return.

    We had a great time at this giant, well appointed home. The decor suited our tastes and the beds were fantastic. Guidelines and instructions were clear and the kitchen had everything we could have wanted, all clean and in good working order. We relaxed, we cooked, and we ate and drank until we were stuffed. The perks of the game machine and football table were appreciated by the younger crowd, as was the woodland setting by the older folk. Overall, we loved this place and hope to come back soon.

I really love that there were instruction for everything in the house so we did not have to spend half our trip trying to figure out how to get on the Wi-Fi or turn the ceiling fans on. Even the video game had instructions!
