Amazing Fall Getaway

My wife and I enjoyed every moment. This house was perfect for an intimate and private getaway. The proximity to Galena was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/5 stars if possible. We cannot wait to come back!

Relaxing getaway for family of all ages.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our stay very much. Fun for every age group in our family - ages 3 to 62. The sofas were a pretty worn, but beds were very comfortable. A lot of room in the house for family of 8, and plenty of space outside as well as fairly private. Beautiful area and the club house made it a perfect getaway for us.

Good place, not great sleeping

The property was in a good location and the club house was great. The pull out couches were extremely uncomfortable/thin mattresses. Also no shades in the basement where the pull out couches were. For advertising sleeping 8 you should have better accommodations for the sofa sleepers. A few minor issues too but otherwise it was fine.

Beautiful!!

This was a perfect place to stay for our "friends getaway", so glad we found it. Super clean, roomy, not far from town and the area is beautiful. We were also able to use the Owners Club amenities which are amazing. We'll definitely stay here again if our plans bring us back to the Galena area.
