We had a great stay here! This is a lovely house in a beautiful wooded area. It was very comfortable for our family of 4. Everyone had their own space and the living room/dining/kitchen area was also great. We enjoyed using the Owner's Club pool and facilities. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Galena!

Beautiful house with all the important amenities. It was clean and a great location. The fireplace was not available which was a little disappointing but still a wonderful stay and I would definitely return.

Fun Girls’ Weekend Location

The home was just what we were looking for. It’s well laid out for cooking together and hanging out for movie or game nights with friends. It’s clearly well-maintained and has everything you need for a long weekend with friends- including nice touches like coffee pods, plenty of towels, and good water pressure.

Class A accommodations

We had a wonderful time for 2 nights. Beautiful home and impeccably clean. The only suggestion that I am seeing at more VRBO’s is the need for many people these days that both Husband and wife needed night stands on both sides of the beds. But we were able to make do without a problem. Thanks for an enjoyable get away.

house needs to have some professional rodent removal. we could hear mice running in the ceiling at night. the amount of vegetation that has grown right up to the house probably doesn't help with that problem.

The Perfect Post Holiday Retreat

This house was perfect for our family - 5 adults. It was situated in the trees, so we had the feeling of being in the woods while just a short distance to everything. The house was exceptionally clean, and the layout was good for together time while allowing for retreat. As we like to cook together, it was wonderful to have a well stocked kitchen. We could play games on the table, watch movies and cook while still being able to talk to each other. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and the bedrooms a good size. It is close to several of the walking trails in the Territories, and a short mile from the Country Store if we needed something. Howard was very responsive and answered several questions I had very quickly. This could definitely become part of our post holiday traditions! We loved it!

Nice little home in the woods

My girlfriends and I got together for a short getaway to celebrate a birthday in the group. This home was perfect for us! We loved that the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with and basic items needed for cooking; oil, salt, pepper, Lawrie's seasoning, etc. I've stayed at many homes where this isn't the case. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood. We took a ride to see the Thunder Bay falls and you may want to pop over to the marina too. We enjoyed an evening on the screened in back porch drinking wine and chatting. There is another deck that isn't screened in but we didn't use that one. Lovely place that we would recommend to others.

Mostly Great Lodging

Upon arrival, we noticed black/brown items on the carpet and floors on the first level of the house. Looking more closely, we realized that they were roly polie bugs. Most were dead, but others were living. Luckily we found a vacuum cleaner and broom in the house. We spent the next 45 minutes cleaning up the bugs and doing so each morning and whenever we saw them. My friend wanted to use the jetted tub on the first floor, but decided against it because of the bugs. Quite unnerving thinking about the bugs all over the first floor of the home. Other than that, everything else was wonderful...well except the bed pillows are very hard. Wish I could add pictures here.

Galena Get away

This was one of the easiest bookings I’ve ever done with VRBO! I messaged Howard with several questions before & after booking and he always responded quickly and was very helpful and informative about things in the area and never made me feel like I was bothering him. The house was like the pictures and perfect for our 3 adults and 2 teenagers…..very clean and well supplied……we did fix breakfast one morning and the kitchen was well supplied…..we were 1 mile from the little store in the territory and a couple miles from the clubhouse which Howard had 6 passes provided with the rental…..the teens liked going there to swim and shoot baskets in the gym…… Check out was one of the easiest we’ve ever had! Basically we packed our stuff and locked the door on the way out!! Which was great!!! We really appreciated not having to strip beds etc….. and start laundry!!! We would definitely go back to this home and highly recommend Howard as being super easy to communicate with!!! Was a very relaxing 4 days!!! 5 star all the way!
