Perfect place to stay with family

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!

Great Stay!

The property was beautiful. The house was great for our short get-away. We were able to walk on the trail near the property to enjoy the nature nearby. It was a shorty drive to downtown Galena. Thank you for helping provide a relaxing stay!

Fall Get-Away

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!

Lovely getaway

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 Escape in the Woods!

Lovely home. Spacious, and loaded with things to make your stay homelike and comfy. Beautiful artwork and natural light. Really great Vrbo listing with a property manager who answered my texts within minutes throughout the stay. We loved it here and will likely return.

4th of July Getaway

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.

Wonderful fall reunion

A perfect home for a fall family reunion. We prepared most meals in the well-stocked kitchen and spent hours around the fireplace when we weren’t walking the trails around Eagle Ridge or exploring downtown Galena. Hailey couldn’t have been a nicer or more responsive host — we’ll stay here again!

Great choice

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.

This was a cute little house in the woods, near hiking trails and nice amenities. A short 15 minute drive to Galena. Everything was clean and Hailey, the host, was quick to respond to any messages.
