Late holiday family time
Looked like a snowy fairy land . The walkway and drive were just shoveled and the roads were fairly clear for being in the territories. Had a blast in the hot tub even with the below freezing temps.

Ideal winter getaway
Everything was as stated and perfectly suited to our 5 person family (2 parents, 3 teenagers). Beds, baths, kitchen, hot tub, games, tv, living room all as advertised. We were too tired from snowboarding all day to try out the poker table. Easy to get downtown Galena and on over to Chestnut Mountain, yet secluded enough for us to stand and stare at the Milky Way from the house at night with almost no light pollution to obscure the view.

Family Vacation
A perfect location to enjoy the many experiences that makes the Galena area a wonderful family vacation destination. The property was ideal for this family outing. The Galena Territory has so much to offer and the property was within easy reach of the Galena historical, food and shopping experiences. The property is everything you could want for a family outing. It had everthing we needed. It was like being at home. We highly recommend this property and the area in general. We look forward to our next visit.
