Beautiful Time

Excellent spot to stay and reconnect with family! Really enjoyed having time together, played games, shopped, hiked and ate. Scenery abounds and we thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife. The rental was clean and well maintained. Very user friendly and well stocked with plenty of kitchen options, pillows, blankets, games etc. Well equipped in all areas! Such a wonderful stay! Would rent again without question.

Easily accessible and comfortable property.

The property had been updated. Comfortable but a little small for 5 adults and 3 high school aged teens. Sleeping accommodations didn’t quite fit but other than that, was quite comfortable. Very clean. Host was easily accessible.

Galena VRBO

Only one minor blip. When we got there one of the beds in the basement didn't have sheets on it. Found the wet sheets AND bath towels, wash cloths, hand towels all wet in the dryer. Since we didn't get there till late and we were all tired, it was an inconvenience to have to dry the bedding before we could use that bed.
