Family Time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lots of space inside for 8 adults and 4 children. Lots of space outside to run and play. Loved the fire pit to make s’mores. Well apportioned kitchen. Close to Galena. Has access to clubhouse pool. Only complaint is that the upstairs bedrooms are hot; the standalone a/c units in the bedrooms don’t provide any cooling.

Beautiful Home/Wonderful Owner

We have stayed at this home twice now...and are currently making plans to stay again! We love the home, as it's beautiful and spacious. The owner has been fantastic, as we have friends who travel many hours to get there and the owner has been accommodating to their arrival needs! The owner is also very responsive to questions! Which is fantastic! We cannot wait to come back and I highly recommend this property! Thank you, Linda!

Perfect location and house for our group!

Our group gathered to celebrate birthdays and 30 years of friendship. We were all wowwed by this house. It’s beautiful and huge! We had more than enough space for the seven of us. Great kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit, ping pong table, and the hot tub. We’d definitely rent this place again!
