We had a great time and lots fun things to do around Galena Territory. House had a great set up and the enclosed porch overlooking the woods was a great place to grill and relax.

Beautiful property with lots of amenities. Having a grill on the screened-in porch was incredible; there were lots of areas to play games and/or relax; and the trail down to the lake was clearly marked and a great walk. The cabin is set in the middle of a stand of trees so feels very private.
Would definitely stay here again!

My family really enjoyed our stay at the Aspen house! Close to Galena, and a short drive to many other popular destinations in area. The home had everything we needed for our stay, and our host Hailey was quick with responses to questions regarding our stay. Our favorite spot was the screened porch facing the woods!

Aspen House is a lovely home. Plenty of room & bathrooms. We had hoped to use the fire pit, but it was too windy during our stay. If we have the opportunity to come again, we would definitely stay there!

Great location close to Galena but still away from everything. Perfect for our group of 5 adult women (late-30s) to celebrate a friends recent marriage.

My family rented this cabin for a 40th birthday getaway. What a lovely house and quiet, secluded spot to enjoy nature. Close enough to town but far enough out to feel the quiet. The owner was easy to communicate with and the house had everything we needed. Can’t recommend enough.

The Aspen House is an amazing little place with perfect privacy and proximity to Galena. Trails are right off of the drive and the wildlife is beautiful and welcoming. We loved the amenities and the screened in porch has such a beautiful forest view. Highly recommend.

The Aspen House was a perfect getaway in a very private setting. It was like a home away from home. The screened in porch came in handy during a of couple rain storms that passed through during our stay. Loved the terraces of the kitchen and bedroom. Our next visit will be in the Fall so we can enjoy the colors.
