Lakeview Home

Lovely home with tons of room! It was perfect for our family of fourteen with nice bedrooms and bathrooms. The game areas were just great for the kids, too. On the negative side, we were not able to get DVDs to play (for the kids) with the setup there no matter how we tried. And we all wished checkout time could have been at 11 am instead of 10 am. Overall, a great place to stay!

Fall Ladies Weekend

Our group of 14 ladies had plenty of space to spread out when needed and to gather as well! The home was very comfortable with many different rooms our group could fit in to be together. Beds were comfortable and it was nice having so many bathrooms to utilize so we never felt crowded. The home had everything in it that we needed--we had a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Joe & Katie Schuhow

We are originally from eastern Iowa and got married in Galena in 2006. It is such a special place and certainly near and dear to our hearts. We enjoy spending time with several extended family members and friends at the house and are always in awe of the lake views. They never disappoint! No matter what time of year!

Why they chose this property

This property is in such a beautiful, secluded lake setting, which such easy access to golf, the marina, the horseback riding center, the owner's club with 2 pools and several other amenities, as well as several trails. The property is also unique in that it accommodates large groups so effectively, with 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a large family room, dining room, sunroom, basement, upstairs loft, and upstairs bonus room. Plenty of room to both gather and spread out!

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this home are the stunning lake views, no matter what time of year or what the weather conditions are. Additionally, there is a ping pong table, 2 futons, foosball table, and "extras" such as pool towels, bath supplies, puzzles, games, books, and plenty of nice kitchen supplies. Lastly, the proximity of the home to golf, the marina, the horseback riding center, the owner's club, and trail hiking make it truly one-of-a-kind.
