The only Issue we had if you can call it one was the inside temp got up to around 84 because the AC couldn't keep up with the 95* outside temp.

Cozy & Roomy

The property is gorgeous- we loved that we all got king beds and bathrooms- plenty of places to cuddle up with a book or play some games. We loved downtown Galena especially Galena Bakehouse. The hot tub was lovely- a fun experience during the winter, but definitely be careful for ice etc. The kitchen was amazing. The whole place was clean. My family really enjpyed our stay
