Secluded and Spacious

We had a great time. The house had a good number of bedrooms and bathrooms, especially if you include the coach house. It also has a good kitchen/dining room/screened in porch area for eating, games, and hanging out. There were also many couch beds!

Overall this property suited out families needs very well. The large main living area and kitchen was a great space for our 12-14 guests to gather, eat, and play games together.Compared to other Vrbo rentals we have utilized this one did lack a bit in the little 'extras, but those are not required, such as travel toiletries if something was forgotten by a guest, extra towels and wash clothes for bathing, extra pillows for those who may need to use a couch or air mattress for sleeping, but again. these are not required, but always a nice tough when offered. Thanks for being a nice host and offering such a secluded home for our families stay. The carriage house over the garage was a very nice space for the 5 teenagers to have a place of their own to go to at times to play games and veg on their phones.

Great spot

Overall, a great place to get a group of people together. There were 10 in our group and we were able to relax, enjoy the screened porch, firepit and hot tub and cook some wonderful meals together.

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay!

My family and I stayed here and we all loved it! The property was very clean and also was very large. We all had lots of room to enjoy different activities. The owner was also extremely nice and accommodating.

Beautiful setting and loved the rustic charm of the home. Much of the high rafter decor was pretty dusty, but the living areas were clean and tidy. No coffee present and the nearest store was (as best we could determine) a 1/2 hour away. Had we known, we would have stopped to picked some up on the way in. (I don't think I've ever stayed at a VRBO before that didn't provide coffee or pods). We were also shocked to discover (after booking and arrival) that we were expected to haul out our trash to a landfill 6 miles away! Only expect that when remote camping, not when paying a required cleaning fee. Overall, the stay was fine.

Amazing!

This property surpassed my expectations. The house is amazing and very comfortable for a large group. There is a huge living / kitchen area and a screened in porch. The bedrooms are all remote enough to have privacy. All bedrooms are very comfortable. The house was very clean. Master suite on the main floor was great for someone who doesn’t want to do stairs. The fire pit was so enjoyable. We saw a lot of wild life and the privacy was exactly what we wanted. Note that the decor and house are a bit rustic but we LOVED that about it. We are already planning our next stay!

Extended Family Gathering

Property was clean and had plenty of space for our family to gather. Access to Galena and Galena territory amenities was excellent. Plenty in the area for our multi age family, so having a central spot for staging and laughing was important. Deck and campfire is a great amenity to bring the family spirit together.

Cozy and comfortable retreat

We rented this property for a skiing trip to Chestnut Resort in mid-February. It's an amazing place—comfortable, cozy, and spacious enough for 13 people across 4 families, with ample kitchen equipment. The playful character and personality of the owner really shine through.

Girl's 50th Birthday Celebration--quiet and relaxing

The property was wonderful. Very quiet...birds and wildlife. Star gazing and shooting stars were tremendous. Great location to relax and visit, and close enough to town to enjoy what the community and surrounding area provide for recreation.

Great girls getaway

We had a great stay. The house was spacious enough to accommodate our group of 12 very comfortably. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Several people enjoyed the hot tub but would have appreciated some solar lights to light up the path to get to it. We loved the secluded and quiet setting and still were close enough to enjoy the town of Galena.

We enjoyed the house and it's location and also the use of the community pool. It fit all of us (13) with the use of the carriage house. With the kids downstairs, the adults could enjoy time on the main level, but if we wanted to all be together, that worked on the main level, as well. We made use of the deck and the screened in porch, and the hot tub. The kitchen was equipped with a big fridge and we used the dishwasher a lot. We did notice a few minor repairs that were needed on the house and sidewalk, but they didn't interfere with our use of the property. An electric water kettle would be a nice addition. We brought our own and it was used a lot. We would definitely go back to the property.

Galena visit

Our group of 14 (adults and kids) really enjoyed the property. It is a large amount of space and feels very secluded. We saw lots of wildlife from the house and appreciated how remote it feels though it is an easy drive into downtown Galena. We had fun exploring the hiking trails and also had fun escaping the heat at the Owner's club pool. We will back to Galena in the future and we would recommend this property for any large group.

Great family stay, minor hiccups

We enjoyed our stay here with 9 adults and 2 children. Plenty of room and places to spread out. We did experience a few minor inconveniences with the electrical switches in the house (lights working and then not working with no rhyme or reason,) but overall really enjoyed the house and its amenities. The listing should be updated with the correct processes for check in and check out as those are outdated/incorrect.
