"The Gleneagle was perfect for our long weekend with friends -- Galena was a central meeting spot for our group of friends that live across the Midwest. The home was incredibly clean and well-stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The beds were super-comfortable -- everyone in the group commented how well they slept. Communication with Brian was fantastic from the moment we booked through the end of our stay. We can't wait to get back to Galena and stay at The Gleneagle."
