Great stay!

This property was a great choice for our family vacation. We liked the layout and appreciated how well stocked it was. Easy check in and check out process. Questions were answered promptly. Will note that the jetted tub in the master bath is not in working order, but we had no issues using the outdoor hot tub.

A great 4 days!

This property was ideal for our family and was very well stocked with everything needed for our stay.

HS Girlfriend Getaway

We loved this property. It was so serene and quiet. Our highlights of the home were the lovely enclosed porch, fire-pit and hot tub. The owners provided wood which many do not do. We loved coming "home" each day after exploring Galena and the surrounding area to an evening of preparing great meals and just relaxing. I would highly recommend this property. Very clean and well stocked.

Great stay in the Galena territory

Overall, we had a great stay in Galena. We used the house as a base camp for skiing. It was about a 25 minute drive. The neighborhood is pretty remote so not much in the way of food close by. The house was spacious and well maintained. The only suggestion I could give is updated mattresses in the master and bunk room. Thanks for a great stay!

Home Sweet Home

Our group truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The location was perfect and just a short 20 minute drive to Main Street. We loved the front porch, the screened in back porch, the fire pit and absolutely loved being able to cook meals together in the kitchen. 4 ladies went together and we each had our own room and bathroom. We also enjoyed the privacy of the home with its beautiful sunsets and really enjoyed the hot tub. It had everything we needed and we were so comfortable with the communication we had with Andrew. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Wonderful, restful retreat!

We booked this lovely home to relax an catch up with old friends. The property has wonderful screened porch and outside seating areas. Fire pit is in back of property and is very inviting. Home is three levels, and temps varied pretty significantly by floor. Otherwise, all amenities were as described. Very comfortable home, and very accommodating owners. Communication was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Sisters' Holiday

From the easy in-out circular driveway to the welcoming front porch, the comfortable beds, en suite bathrooms, hot tub, lovely screened porch, not to mention use of the owners' club facility and hiking trails, Sara & Andrews place was perfect for our Sisters' Holiday in the Midwest. Communication with our hosts was superior and responses kind and thoughtful. Every aspect of this lovely home nestled in the quiet wooded cul de sac lent itself to comfortable relaxation. We've already planned to return. Thank you Sara & Andrew for making our Sisters' Holiday a wonderful getaway. Susan, Vickie, Diana, Terri and Barb

Gals in Galena!

We are four "mature" women who annually get together somewhere in the Midwest. We enjoyed our stay at Sara and Andrew's place. They were very responsive to our needs and followed up quickly. The location was fine and we certainly got to be with nature! The home has all the amenities in the bathrooms and kitchen areas that one needs for a brief stay. We enjoyed our time in Galena and the home we stayed in certainly made the experience there even better.

Perfect Family Retreat

Perfect choice for a relaxing and fun filled extended family weekend! Highly recommended! Accommodations were spot on! House was well stocked and clean. The four bedrooms with paired bathrooms provided more than ample room and privacy for our group. The full size bunk beds, foosball table and hot tub were a big hit with our grandkids. We also loved the fireplace and the fire pit! Plenty of firewood was available to stoke the fires! This rustic rural setting provided great nature hikes with bird and deer sitings along the trail. All of the above kept us happily engaged during our stay. We also had a great time Christmas shopping and dining in the picturesque and historic town of Galena. Communication with owner was optimum! House instructions were informative and accessible. Would definitely recommend this home to others and rebook future stays.
