The home was perfect and Maggie was amazing to communicate with! The layout was perfect for the family and the trees surrounding the backyard are lush and gorgeous. Home was perfectly stocked with everything we needed and very clean and fresh. The trees and angle of the yard are laid out perfectly for no views of the neighboring homes.A!

Great girls getaway

Perfect place for a sisters getaway. The 3 on suite bedrooms are a luxury for everyone to have their own bathroom. The location and drive to the house is beautiful and only a short drive to Galena.

Spring break getaway

We enjoyed our stay for a quick spring break getaway. We took advantage of trails, swimming and the proximity to Galena. The house was cozy and comfortable and fit our group of 8 perfectly. The sunroom was inviting and we had space for gathering as well as for resting.

Cousins Get Together

We had a great stay in this property. Three couples stayed and we each had our own bathroom, which was great. We enjoyed the 4 season room and spent some time on the deck. We also used the grill to cook a meal. We enjoyed our stay.

Little piece of heaven

We usually stay on the territory every summer as a family. This place was absolutely perfect! It met all of our accommodation needs and even more. Our boys loved it and the sun room was my favorite part. Rooms were very comfortable. We definitely said we will book this lovely home again next year.

Thanks for the review! Confused as to why we weren’t able to earn 5 stars from you as I never heard of any issues (or any communication at all) from you during your stay.
