We had a great time at this house! Plenty of cooking and eating space in the kitchen and the kids really enjoyed the play area. Located so close to the pool and golf course and just a short drive into downtown Galena and over to Iowa.

Family Vacation
The inside of the house was very clean, well stocked, and above what was described-even ice cube trays were filled for us! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of entertainment items available. Nice hospitable touches were throughout the house. Customer service call before arriving was a welcome touch as well. As an outdoor living family, we thought the outdoor space was lacking the same attention. There was a small firepit in the middle of 2-3 ft weeds off to the side of the house, the upper deck had not been swept in a while ( more than just random leaves ), and the lower deck space had sparce furniture and 2-3 ft weeds in the gathering area. Paying attention to the outdoor space would make this wonderfully located and private residence even better.

Great summer getaway for a large family
We had a large group, so we needed to find a large house with enough bedrooms to accommodate us. This house has four bedrooms to sleep eight. There might also be a pullout that we did not use. The location is just a short 15-minute drive to Galena, which was great, because once we were outside of Galena there was virtually no traffic. We all appreciated the pool table in the basement, and the coffee table on the main level was large enough for a puzzle. (You'd be amazed how much less time folks spend on their phones when there is a puzzle laying around.) All in all, a great four-night stay! The owners are great to communicate with, very responsive, and gave us a lot of tips on shopping, the owners' club, etc.

The BEST Vacation Home EVER!
We have rented many vacation homes over the years and in a variety of locations from the beaches of NC to the mountains of WV to miner's cabins in Mineral Point, WI, as well as other homes in the Galena Territories. Everyone agrees -- this was the BEST place by far! We had 5 adults staying at the cabin, as well as 2 teens, and 2 children under 6. We had lots and lots of space -- movies and pool in the basement, cards around the table, chatting, reading, and listening to music in the main living space. I really appreciated (having driven 14 hours) arriving at a cabin with toilet paper, made beds (yes, I have had to make my own beds upon arrival!), paper towels, soap - and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need - pizza cutter (yes, I have had to purchase in the past!), wine/bottle/can openers, pots, pans, baggies, saran wrap, pens, paper. It really is like staying at your family's vacation home - warm, inviting, stress-free. And to top all of that off it is SPOTLESS, bug-free, and absolutely cozy and beautiful! Our family enjoyed many of the activities over the July 4th weekend the territory and neighboring communities had to offer - the pool, rodeo, pancake and parachute breakfast, fireworks, parade, and walking around quaint Galena. It was truly a memorable week! We will be back! Thank you!

It was a perfect stay, the house met all our needs and we had a blast. The only thing was we forgot a bluetooth speaker and there wasn't one in the house. They had a great sound system and a bunch of cds to save the day. The house was so cozy and we would definitely stay again.

Fun with friends
Two families with school age kids for fun over Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of room, linens, and good kitchen supplies. Appreciated the Kcup and regular coffee maker optionsl Enjoyed the deck in the evenings and the kids loved playing outside. It feels secluded as couldn't see other neighbors at least with the leaves on this time of year. Quiet street with access to unpaved trails. The firepit location and ambiance was a favorite! Kids enjoyed exploring the rocks' nooks and crannies beside it. The house is nicely furnished and supplied with things like marshmallow toasting sticks, no ice maker but there are ice trays so it works fine, etc. It is somewhat dated which we were fine with but may want to be aware, We did use the wifi for casual use and it was fine, Communication with the property managers was great. We did go to Owner's Club to use the pool which was full of people, but we still found chairs and the kids enjoyed. If you haven't looked up how The Galena Territory works would recommend doing that. We would stay here again and had a great time.

Couldn’t have been more blessed…
Kristen & Ginger who were in charge of the VRBO were absolutely the BEST to deal with. They made the trip effortless, they would respond same day if I had questions, they were informative, detailed & very kind. We literally couldn’t have had a better experience! The cabin was very clean & they had everything available in the cabin for us to make sure it was tidy.
