We had an amazing stay! The house was spotless, spacious, and perfect for a weekend getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to cook in, and the hot tub was the highlight after long days exploring Galena. Every bedroom having its own ensuite was a huge plus. We’d definitely come back!

Over all a fantastic stay! The house was clean and the location was exactly what we wanted. Bathrooms in each bedroom is a great idea and now a must have for future rentals. The outdoor jacuzzi was nice after a long day of golf and the kitchen was well equipped. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the outdoor deck with a grill. Brian was a great host and kept us well informed. Thanks!

Forty was fun

We stayed with 4 adult couples for my wife’s 40th birthday. We had an awesome time and the house was perfect for our low key getaway. We loved the real wood fireplace, beautiful hot tub and well equipped house. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect for our family

This is the second time we have stayed in this home. It is the perfect size for our family and we love that every bedroom has its own bathroom. The owners club is a big perk and we enjoy the Galena downtown as well. It’s a great home away from home!

Great place for family gathering

We stayed here for a family gathering and it was a wonderful vacation. We had plenty of bedrooms and the main level dining room, living room, porch combo were wonderful for hanging out as a family at times while also having different activities going on in smaller groups. Host was quick to respond to questions along the way.

Family weekend getaway

This property was a great size for our group of 7 adults and 2 teens. The house was well stocked with paper products such as paper towel and toilet paper. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner was an unexpected but appreciated surprise. It was great to have a gas grill and there was even an extra tank ready to go if we needed it. The house is definitely a well used rental but the beds were comfortable and the space was great for our group! Brian was easy to communicate with and was helpful with getting golf passes to our rental before we arrived.

Great family weekend getaway

We recently stayed here with a large family, and it was the perfect place for a group getaway! The house was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still having cozy common areas where we could gather. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we appreciated that many had en-suite bathrooms, which made mornings much more relaxed for our group. The kitchen was well-equipped and large enough for us to cook meals together, and the dining area easily accommodated our family for shared meals. The location was ideal for us, too – peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to stores and attractions so we never felt isolated. The owners were responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this house for families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-maintained home with plenty of space and all the amenities you could need for a relaxing stay!

wonderful family get away

Beautiful 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom home on a cul-de-sac. We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay playing games around the big kitchen table, we snuggled up to watch movies on the comfy couches by a roaring fire, took long walks with the dogs, and just had a great time hanging with our family. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which had pretty much everything one would need to prepare nice meals. We'd definitely consider coming back during the summer where we could enjoy the outdoors more, the porch, and the beauty that summertime has to offer. I will add that Brian was very communicative and accommodating! This is the second time we booked with him and we'd def book with him again!

Family Wedding Get-Together

Stayed here with my 4 siblings and all our spouses. The property itself was great--nestled well into the landscaping and very nicely decorated! The great room / kitchen / screened-in porch / deck areas gave a very open feeling, which is great for a large group. Also nice to have a bathroom for each room! However, the carpeting (in the downstairs area particularly) smelled very strongly of pet urine. There were countless spots on the carpet itself that looked as if someone half-tried to clean it, but was unsuccessful. Being a dog-friendly home does not equate to urine stains / smells being at all acceptable. When I did reach out to inform about the situation, I was basically dismissed and told it is not the problem of the place, but instead with my own sensitivities. Again, when 5 groups of 2 people arrive at different times and all smell the same thing upon entering, not even mentioning the still damp marks themselves, this is not a matter of sensitivities whatsoever. Half of us are pet owners, mind you. When I then voiced my concerns again, taking time out of my holiday weekend, I was told by Brian that he himself went over and 'tested' the areas--so again, not justifying our complaints, but just looking at how he can dismiss them. Again, the state of the house/carpet was completely apparent. The person I communicated with was of zero help, and rather rude. We still enjoyed ourselves, but I would not recommend this house, despite it looking great on paper, and at first.
