Everything was GREAT!! My husband and I came with four other couples to celebrate a 50th Birthday. The home was perfect. Kitchen was huge, dining room was cozy (loved the long table), and living room area was spacious!! Plenty of room for all 10 of us (and the dog) to eat, congregate, play games, etc. Each of us had our own private rooms and bathrooms which was a plus!!!Friday night we enjoyed the beautiful deck, sunsets, a bonfire, and cocktails in the hot tub! Ahhhhhh. Saturday night was a beautiful day spent in town shopping and at night we enjoyed playing all the games while snacking on the junk we picked up in town!The property and memories will last a lifetime!! Thanks so much. We are very grateful.

Very nice property and very much enjoyed our stay in Galena. Issues with the throughness of cleaning; there was still coffee & dirty filter in the coffee pot and the Keurig was very dirty and had to be cleaned, and there were leftover wrappers from opened tolitries in the up stairs shower. Also, on the initial property page the total price said "all fees paid" and when we went to book that was not the case. We contacted the manager for clarification.The price ended up much more. It was worth it in the end, but still somewhat confusing and misleading.
