Wonderful Getaway

Home was beautiful! We had 4 couples and plenty of room. Scenery was outstanding. Beds are very comfortable and house is very clean. This is one of the nicest we have stayed in Galena and have been renting homes for 15 years there. We can highly recommend this home!

GREAT Experience!!

Our family had a great time. The house is very high quality and comfortable. We were thrilled with the amount of cooking pans/crock pot/casserole dishes, tupperware, etc. The beds were comfy and bathrooms nicely appointed. Highly reccomended!!

Perfect Relaxation!

My husband & I, along with my son & family spent four perfect days relaxing. It was just what we all needed before ending a very busy summer & starting up with the fall activities. The layout of the home worked well for gathering together or spending some alone time. Close to everything we wanted to do. Perfect.

Lovely, comfy home

This is our second year at the Retreat House. We go every year with 8 adults and 2 kids and spend the whole weekend cooking, reading and playing games. It's cozy, spacious, and full of fun amenities like a pool table and a hot tub. Can't wait to go again next year.

Family Reunion

What a great place to enjoy our time together! All of the comforts of home! We are booking again next year. There are many things to do in Galena, but we also enjoyed just being together. Sharing meals, playing games and catching up.

Family Getaway

We have just returned from a great extended family vacation at Retreat House. It was a perfect fit for our family of 10. We were very pleased with the exceptional accommodations from the luxurious linens to the well equipped kitchen. Our grandchildren enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools at the owners club and we all spent much time on the large enclosed porch.

Guy's Weekend Trip

Great space with a ton of square footage; great to have the gang under one roof while still leaving space for everyone to be comfortable. Amenities are great - game room downstairs, screened in porch, bonfire pit, massive grill, and hot tub all got plenty of use. Highly recommend this location for golf trips, getaways, and family vacations as there is a lot to do within a short drive. Would absolutely rent again and recommend!

40th Birthday Celebration

House was exactly as described and photos accurate. It had all the comforts of home and then some. Location was perfect and we had an awesome time. Kitchen is very well stocked and coming from a "foodie", I'd be shocked if there was a utensil or piece of kitchenware that is missing. We would recommend to others and stay here again.

Cozy, comfy retreat from the outside world.

We go here every year with a group of friends for a winter getaway. We spend most of the weekend just idling around the house, cooking, playing games, enjoying the hot tub, building fires, and occasionally sledding. It's bliss.

Family Get Together and Birthday

We had a family get together with our adult children and their spouses/significant others and had a lovely time. The house was perfect for 10 and we had a great time, especially enjoying the hot tub while watching the snowfall.

Great Weekend Home!!!

Bill was great to work with leading up to the stay. We had 9 adults with plenty of space and seating. The beds are at least a queen size so every couple was happy - very comfortable too. The kitchen is fully stocked, so making meals was easy. Loved the hot tub in the evening and the grill was perfect. We rode horses during our stay and utilized the association pool as well. Highly recommend, Bill is a great renter.

Fantastic

Wow! I sort of tripped over this house while scanning VRBO. What a great house. Everything was fresh and clean. It included everything a group would need to have a great weekend. Great location as well. We couldn't recommend it stronger.
