Reviewer Comments:
It was a lovely and spacious home. Very comfortable and close to downtown. About a 15 minutes drive. Golf courses are beautiful and very well maintained. The owners club was a great plus with swimming indoor and out and pool, ping pong and shuffle board.
Thank you so much for your kind note! We’re so glad you enjoyed your late December stay at Oak Haven Galena — it’s a special time of year to be there.
We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would be delighted to host you again anytime.
Everything was exactly as pictured and very clean! I really appreciated that, not once did I feel put off by something. And they had cleaning supplies available to use. They had pool towels clean and ready to go, which I thought was a nice touch since that was the 4 year olds top priority when we got there. I also appreciated that instructions for check in/out etc were very simple and it wasn’t a big list of stuff to do at check out! Definitely would stay there again!
The property was absolutely perfect for our weekend get away for our family of four, but would have been great for an extended stay as well. Everything was clean and functioned as it should. The area is beautiful and quiet and having access to the owners club to use the pools and play games in the game room was a really nice bonus. We will absolutely stay again!
Very nice unit with wooded views. Although we didn't use it, it had a charcoal grill and a supply of charcoal. End unit location was nice as this was a townhouse. No dishwasher which was ok cause we didn't eat in this trip. Would book this again.
Debra, we loved hosting your family, and can't wait to have you back again! Thanks for sharing your experience with us and helping us get the word out about our place!
Great place. Clean, nice layout, easy access to activities. Owners were responsive. Would stay there again

My only complaint would be how thin the toilet paper was. It seemed to be a theme everywhere in Galena though. Really enjoyed the time spent there. Lovely town

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your time at Oak Haven Galena and had a chance to experience the charm of the town.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Spent the week of the fourth there and had a nice stay. Enjoyed the location to the south course, marina, owners club and downtown. The rental was clean. My only recommendation would be to have more pillows.
The space was too big for what my Husband and I needed but loved the location and neighborhood.

Great end unit, private and very clean. Plenty of towels, pillows, toilet paper and coffee. 😁😁
Very kind, thoughtful and helpful owner made this a lovely stay. He was able to accommodate a last minute request for a late checkout and was very prompt in his reply.
Place is very clean, well appointed and centrally located in terms of local activities.
Would definitely recommend this spot.
