This beautiful Galena property was everything we hoped for! It was quiet, clean, and spaciousâperfect for a long weekend friendsâ getaway. The stunning fall scenery and peaceful neighborhood within a short walk to the waterfall created the ideal setting for a relaxing trip. The only drawback was the limited transportation options to and from downtown Galena, but weâll plan ahead for that next time. Weâre already looking forward to returning next year!
Great space with a lot of stairs. It really is special out the large back windows as you walk down the the stairs to the bottom two bedrooms, kitchen, dining/game room, deck, and screened in porch. We loved it all!
We arrived to a terrible smell in the house. We immediately knew it was a dead mouse. We contacted the owner and he sent someone to get the mouse out. During the night we woke to mice running around the bedroom. There were multiple, and could not sleep at all with the noise. We contacted the owner and he sent pest control out. Pest control found another dead mouse and said there was a problem and set multiple traps inside and out. They found holes in the house that the mice were entering. The host told us we probably want to find somewhere else to stay, same day? Very hard in Galena!!! Most of the time you would be out of luck. We were just lucky another host had a property they had just fixed up and first day on VRBO. Otherwise, we would have had to cut our vacation short. Itâs crazy how clean the other place was in comparison. It was also very beautiful for less. It was a blessing in disguise. I just canât recommend ever staying in this house.
The home was very welcoming and clean. We had everything we needed and more for a weekend getaway with family. Our hosts were very attentive by giving information prior to check in as well as checking in since a bad storm was making its way through the area.
Nice property for our family of 4. Two sitting areas are nice for extra space. Lots of games and books for a variety of ages. Kitchen is very well stocked. I loved the screened in porch- we saw a mama turkey and her babies and it was wonderful for bird watching. We always love having access to the owners club as well. The property owners were very responsive to questions and were even kind enough to let us check in early. It was a great stay and we thoroughly enjoyed the house!
Very clean and well stocked! Ownersâ Club passes were a plus! Many stairs if someone in your group has knee problems. Very easy to find house from Galena.Would have been nice to have instructions for TV operation-not familiar with ROKU.
Very cute property surrounded by trees and sounds of nature. Access to the Owner's Club is amazing. We spent every day there swimming, playing ping pong, bags, and basketball. My husband really enjoyed the screened in porch and that is where he could enjoy the sounds and block out the sounds of the kids when they were being too loud I loved completing the 1000 piece puzzle while looking out at the beautiful backyard. Overall a wonderful trip in a picturesque setting.
We were happy to see the pictures matched the home well. We started our days at the gym and game room at the Owners Club. My daughter and I swam laps one morning too. It was warm enough to sit on the deck in the afternoons and play games after shopping on Main St. This home was stocked well with paper products so we didn't have to run to grab anything. We enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the primary bathroom too.
We stayed at this property because we wanted to be outside if downtown Galena but also be within driving distance. It was an easy 10 minute drive to downtown. Clean house and they had everything we needed!
We really enjoyed our visit. Very nice little house. Beautiful area, access to the owners club was an added bonus. Very convenient to Galena. Anxious to come back in the summer time.
