Perfect for a girls getaway weekend

Myself and 5 friends stayed here for a girls weekend and had a wonderful time. The unit was very clean and as described in the listing. Galena is just a short drive so we spent a good amount of time there eating and shopping. We would stay at this location again in a heartbeat.
