From check in to check out we enjoyed our time at your home. It was a wonderful time by all including our dogs. It was sparkling clean, good amount of dishes, pot and pans. The beds are super comfortable. Plenty of firewood. Had a blast playing pool, ping pong and board games. Thank you and we will be back in the future.

Annual family getaway
Stayed at the house for a wonderful getaway family weekend. House was more than we expected. Extremely clean and it was wonderful to have a full bathroom in every bedroom. Easy distance into town and the territory is beautiful. House has everything - we grilled family dinners for both nights and played pool. Would definitely rent again if headed back to Galena!!!

3 night family get-away
The house is great. Nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. It is FULLY stocked with everything you will need. From the back deck it is like being in the forest, in the front of the house there is a great yard and basketball hoop for the kids. The listing did not say it had a pack and play so we brought one, but it has everything, plus booster chairs for the little ones. The screened in porch is really great for having dinner when the weather is nice. All the furniture is nice and comfortable. We had a nice time with our family. Be prepared there is a LENGTHY contract to sign in addition to renting through VRBO. I've rented many places around the country thru VRBO and have never had to sign an additional agreement. This one is extensive and does not really pertain to a 3 night stay. Also had to provide my credit card information to the owner in case of damages. Have never had to do that before and was not keen on that. Communication with the owners was easy and we had quick responses. Overall is it a great house and was a wonderful stay. Thanks for sharing your home.

Great retreat from disappointing weather
Disappointing weather during our visit forced us to spend much of our stay in Galena at the house. But we found lots to do at the house, which is spacious and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.

The house was great and we all had a great time, however, as the temperature was a 100 the fact that the air conditioner couldn’t go below 72 degrees made the main floor unbearable after a day in the hot Sun. Also the salt and pepper shakers were empty which was an unpleasant surprise
