Cute place - perfect for a weekend getaway
The owners were very kind and accommodating. We loved the fireplace loft area. My friends and I mostly spent our time there playing games and hanging out. It was very cozy. We wish it was warmer out to enjoy the outdoor area. It was SO cute out there. We would definitely stay here again.

The house is amazing. Pictures are very accurate. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Kitchen and bath were great. Just a short drive to downtown Galena. The countryside is amazing. Five sisters in our sixties…we laughed so much. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice Stay For Girls Weekend
The overall stay was good; however, the home needs a little love. Hooks in walls, but no artwork; so many scuffs on walls that could easily be rectified with touch up paint; one small bedroom has no closet, or even hooks to hang anything. It's kind of like the 3 bears. Master br. is huge with night stands, dresser, TV, trash can, closet, luggage stand, and nice mattress, 2nd br. smaller with 2 night stands, closet, hang rack on wall, luggage rack, trash can, & TV. 3rd br. has a bed & 2 night stands. Nowhere to hang clothes, not even a hanging rack on wall. That was disappointing.

The property was lovely. The area is beautiful. We loved the waterfall so close. While at the property itself, we spent most of our time on the screened in porch. We just wished it would have been cleaned prior to our arrival. We always do some cooking and the kitchen was well stocked. We saw some wild turkeys running between the houses and the symphony of birds was wonderful. Debbie C

Indoor and outdoor enjoyment
This place was a great place to relax, with places indoors and outdoors to sit and read or watch the birds. Our family also enjoyed the games provided at the property. The heating and cooling systems were easy to regulate for our comfort level. This property includes access to an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a game room, boat rental, and more. We spent some time swimming and kayaking. The Galena Territory is a beautiful place, and our hosts were very helpful. We would recommend having insect repellent handy when spending time outdoors. We would definitely enjoy staying here again!

Spring Break
My family and i had a short stay at this property for spring break. It was wonderful, plenty of space. We even got to enjoy the outdoor patio, 65 degrees in March! FYI - if you plan to cook buy/ bring spices. Only salt and pepper available. Plenty of towel, blankets and pillows. Lots of games and books too! House is only about 10 min from Main St Galena where all the shops and restaurants are. Be sure to do the goat hike nearby at Hoof it goat treks. So much fun!

First Time in Galena
Galena was the halfway point for us to meet up with my daughter and her husband. It was the first time any of us had been there. What a beautiful area and awesome town! Our accommodations were exactly what we were looking for, great setting in the woods, yet conveniently located close to town. We will definitely be back!!!

Nice escape
My family of 4 had a great stay here. If you’re preparing meals at the home expect to have every piece of equipment you may need but to bring along everything else. After a grocery run for oil, salt, spices etc we were set for a lovely few days. Not a diss, just a heads up to future renters so you bring it all along. We got about 3 inches of snow while we were there, which was gorgeous and glorious for the kids. Snow removal throughout the Territories was quick and thorough. Even came home to a plowed driveway.
