What an Amazing Home in the Territories!
We stayed for three nights with family and friends. This house was so clean and perfectly laid out to accommodate adults and teens who wanted to sleep together and have privacy, The basement had a ping pong table and pool table and fun chalk board. There was so much extra space to hang out in and relax. The kitchen was duly stocked and had great amenities. And the views. Stunning! And the fireplace was enjoyed. Dan is the perfect host-thoughtful and responsive. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

A delightful home and a gracious host
We had the most enjoyable time at Dan's property. The house itself overlooks Lake Galena. The North Cove bank of the lake is a 2-minute drive away and offers a great fishing spot. The home was clean and luxuriously furnished. We fell in love with the furniture and decor. Everything was clean - zero dust, which was a huge plus for our family as some of us have allergies. The kitchen was put to great use. Lovely crockery and cutlery. Enough for us all. And Dan just knows how to walk the fine line between assisting us and letting us be. He was on hand when we had questions and timely in his responses. Super friendly. Only good things to say. We hope to return to this lovely home some time in the future.

The best home we have ever stayed in.
From check in until check out this was the best experience we have had renting a home. There is nothing that could have been done to have a better stay. We had 9 people ranging from 1 to 62 and a dog. Except for clothes you almost dont need to bring anything. Dan, the owner has thought of everything possible. Huge home with so much to do. Pool table, ping pong, play staion are just a few of the things everyone enjoyed. Beautiful veiw of lake Galena. I could go on and on but I think you all understand this is the only place I would stay in Galena. One last note, Dan is very easy to reach if you need anything. Thanks for a dream place to stay.
