We stayed here for a Christmas getaway and were really happy with our choice. My kids are older (teen & preteen) but we were impressed with how toddler friendly this place is with the basement playroom and plasticware. Plenty of space for us, and a great coffee bar!
We had a great time during our stay! The house is clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The fireplace, streaming services, and Sega were enjoyed by all, and made for a fun hangout space when we weren't out doing other things.
This property is perfect for families, couples, friends, golfers & the like. It has everything you need to be comfortable & the amenities are over the top.
The property was very clean and had everything needed for a nice to stay. Had to connect with the owner about a small issue with the TV due to an update and he got back to us within minutes. We had a great time and would come back again!
Stayed with my wife and our two small pups. Very accurate listing with a nice view in the Galena Territory. It was a great home base for the long weekend.
This property was great. It was very clean and provided all we would need to feel at home. The location was perfect. We were a 2 minute drive to the golf courses and a few steps away from a nice walking path. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.
We stayed here with 3 kids ranging from 1-6 years old and 1 dog. Super convenient for little kids with a nice playroom that the older 2 enjoyed. Lots of baby stuff here too like pack n play and baby gate. Easy to get into town and we enjoyed a day at the pool at the owners' club during a rainy day. Would rent again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Dear Galena, you can tell the host has thought carefully about the small items that can make your stay even more comfortable.
Will’s place was amazing and even better than advertised. It had everything we needed for traveling with an infant, a toddler, and a dog. They even had a tiny potty for the little one. The place was pristine, and the views were incredible and so relaxing. Will was very responsive and set us up for an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful area and property! Stayed while it snowed and the property was immediately shoveled. Close to spa, restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this property d/t fabulously decorated with comfort in mind.
We spent 6 nights at Dear Galena as a family of 4. The amount of room was perfect for us! The beds were very comfortable and the playroom was a major plus for a getaway space for the kids to hang out. We loved the beverage center with all the coffee maker options! It was easy to get to downtown Galena, area attractions and to the clubhouse (yay, pool!). The townhouse had great views and it's location was nice and quiet when we were there. Definitely would rent again the next visit to Galena.
We loved our stay in the territories. The has a wonderful view and is incredibly convenient. Our family enjoyed the playroom. The home had everything we needed and more. We hope to return again soon.
My wife and I needed needed a few days away from our stressful lives, and this fit the bill. It was clean and spacious, and had everything necessary for a comfortable stay
From check in to check out, our host was wonderful. Responsive to questions, etc. I've stayed at many VRBO type places, this was by far one of the best. It was stocked with all items listed. The place was very clean and there was plenty of space.
One could not ask for a more beautiful setting and an impeccably clean and relaxing accommodation with all the information about entertainment and amenities at your fingertips. This is a five-star place!
Perfect place to relax and explore the trails of the Galena Territory and the shops and restaurants of downtown Galena. Will was a great host—communicative and thoughtful. Loved the many coffee making options (we enjoyed Nespresso both mornings). Lovely decor, lots of blankets to create a cozy vibe. Would stay again!
We had a great time staying at Wills place. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and we appreciated the additional attention to detail - multiple phone charging leads and a kettle so we could make tea.
The area is picturesque and quiet and the balcony offers the perfect location to take in sunrise or sunset in the most beautiful surroundings. I would love to stay here again. Thank you for having us!
We enjoyed a great weekend with our daughter and grandson. The playroom was a huge hit especially because they had a tin of dinos!!!
The view was wonderful from the deck. Though it rained one day it didn’t stop us from enjoying all the things Galena had to offer
