Great location for winter stay

Plenty of room and nice warm options for our ski trip with fireplace and hot tub. Loved the number of bathrooms for each room and it would be a great option for couples traveling together! The kitchen table has loose leafs which needs repair, but had a lovely stay.

Wonderful Winter Retreat

The house was big enough for our group of six adults dog, with plenty of places to spread out and relax. We were able to use the hot tub until the temps dropped below 10 degrees but there were plenty of other things to do. The house isn't far from downtown Galena and is an easy drive with only a few twists and turns. The fireplace kept us warm and we had plenty of firewood for cozy nights at home. I would highly recommend this rental.

Perfect setting

We had a group of 7 and this hone was perfect! Nestled in a wooded neighborhood. The screened in porch was perfect for our morning coffee and for game nights. The hot tub on the back porch was nice & private, with trees as a backdrop. Lots of room, comfy beds & nicely decorated.

Spacious, fun retreat! More than we expected!

Overall, we were very impressed by this rental. It was much larger than anticipated, easy to access, and yet very secluded. The only drawback, in my opinion was that it could have been cleaner. The jetted bathtub kicked out a lot of debris when turned on, sinks and shower drains were a little gunky, and we found many ants in the kitchen throughout our two day stay. None of which were deal-breakers, but I would say areas for potential improvement.
