Spacious Property

Came here for our annual girls trip. All 6 of us had our own sleeping space. Check in/out was very simple. The rooms were all very large and spacious. There was ample sitting areas located outside and around the house. We would definitely consider returning to this home.

Gorgeous property, serene yet lots to do!

The Laurel Lodge was a perfect amount of space for us and our 4 grown children. We loved the large kitchen table, perfect for game nights. We cooked in the well-appointed kitchen and were able to pack light with the full laundry. We had enough space in the entryway to store our golf bags inside without them being in the way. We spent some time every night playing pool or ping pong, and relaxing in the screened-in hot tub. But my favorite part was the quiet area we were in…every morning I started my day with quiet time on the large porch, reading, stretching, crocheting. Ginger and Kristin were great communicators, too, with quick responses to my many questions leading up to our stay. It was fantastic! 100% recommend!

The gameroom at this home was a hit with our younger guests, freeing up time for the adults to visit. The large hottub also was also hit. Everyone in our party would rebook this very large home for another mini-reunion.

Wedding Weekend with my Adult Kiddos

Perfect location nestled between Galena & Oak Hill Farms Wedding Venue. Bedrooms and common areas are very spacious. We had 6 in our party and never felt on top of each other. My family enjoyed the downstairs pool table, pingpong, arcade games & foosball. Beer fridge downstairs allowed us to keep our competitive edge too. The hot tub was a Godsend after a night of dancing at the wedding. We did notice there were plenty of children’s toys and games to keep any “littles”occupied. There are 6 passes available to go to the Galena Territory Resort Club- we didn’t have time to go, however we want to come back to do this!!! Check it out! Even horseback riding! Gorgeous countryside with Thunder Bay Falls right around the corner. Ginger (manager) is a peach to work with & loves what she does. She checked in with a phone call prior to our arrival, explaining processes, etc. we had zero issues what so ever with our stay. Can’t wait to return!!!!

Winter Adventure in Galena

Great accommodation for Galena trip!!!The cabin was very cold upon arrival and warmed relatively quickly. A 3.5 bath home and unable to use one of full baths because of frozen pipes. However, Great kitchen. Excellent communication with property owner. Clean hot tub. Comfortable beds. Would definitely return!
