Lovely home with plenty of space for five adults on a weekend getaway. The three bathrooms were a bonus, and we made a couple of amazing meals in the spacious kitchen. The screened in patio and outdoor patio were perfect for a fall weekend and the evening trip to nearby Galena was fun.

Amazing stay! House had everything we could need and plenty of room for all the family. The boat rental along with property was just the added perk that made this trip so enjoyable for us all. The owner was always quick to reply with any questions as well. Would stay here again.
