The property was very spacious and was fully equipped with everything we needed! The hot tub was a big hit for our group! We will definitely be staying here again!
Beautiful home with lots of room. Like having private bathroom for each bedroom. Upstairs sink facets need replacing. Beds very firm. Need to make sure dispensers in showers filled. Nice big kitchen. Enjoyed hot tub. Need to be conscious of doors locking when going from inside to outside.
We had a great stay - there is a lovely path with a great vista at the end of the road (about .75 mi). The house was clean, the beds comfortable and location quiet. We really enjoyed the porch and the beautiful birds and nature.
We enjoyed our stay. The en-suite bedrooms worked well for our group of 4 couples. The management company was very helpful and were responsive to any questions that we had.
The house's layout was perfect for our group and we really enjoyed our time. We had 4 couples and it was so nice that each bedroom was en suite. We have stayed in the Galena Territory four times now and this is by far our favorite spot.
The property was great. Great amenities and very clean. Love all the bathrooms. Would recommend a little more seating in family area on main level and non slip or handle by whirlpool tub but still a 5 star review!
Great house with plenty of room for 4 couples. Kitchen was well stocked. Only negative was one toilet didn’t have a seat on it but was not a huge deal since there are 6 bathrooms.
We stayed at 1 Westview over thanksgiving holiday. We really enjoyed this property. It’s very spacious and clean with excellent views. Everything was in good shape. We also enjoyed walking the territory and this location is excellent for trail access. The management was very informative and responsive. Great place!
We had 4 couples in our party. Each couple had their own bedroom with bathroom. The living room, kitchen, the whole upstairs was very spacious. The basement was the same, and walks right out to the yard and hot tub. Beautiful property! It was a bit chilly but the deck was amazing and great view! Communication was great as well.
The house was the perfect size for our family. The layout was perfect. The hot tub was clean and I could smell the chlorine (something we have not experienced at other homes in the area). We loved the pool table and all of the board games. We cook ALOT, and noticed some of the cookware needs to be replaced, but they have everything you need to create amazing meals. I recommend to always stay in the territory so you have access to the owner's club. The kids love the pool! Overall, we would love to stay here again!
House was great perfect for what we need. Was super nice that every room had a bathroom and shower. The only gripe I have is the inconvenience of taking the trash all the way to the club before leaving then having to come back to the house to drop off the key needed to drop off your garbage at the clubhouse. The master suite had a great bed, but the other beds were a little hard for my liking, could be just a preference thing for me though. Thanks for everything was a great stay!
This house provided the perfect setting for our annual family get away. With four different families, everyone had their own room with plenty of bathrooms to acommodate the ten of us. Great floor plan & plenty of options to eat (inside, outdoors, screened in porch). The kids thoroughly enjoyed riding their scooters up & down the sloped driveway. Our family goes somewhere every year, & this house by far had the best outfitted kitchen. It had everything you could think of for cooking, including a hand mixer, blender, insta pot, crock pot & griddle. I would highly recommend this property. Our famiy made some great memories.
The house layout was perfect, and the hot tub and pool table were a big hit with our kids. The areas were clean and the house instructions were very clear and organized. Only a few hiccups happened, two being out of the owners control, but still a bummer for us: the indoor pool was closed, but there was an alternate location to swim which was so nice, and the dryer wasn’t working so we couldn’t dry our wet cloths. One thing that I was disappointed in was the cleanliness of the pots and pans. Several were really dirty, but thar
This property was exactly as described. We had plenty of space for 8 golfers. The kitchen was well equipped, and we utilized the gas grill on the deck to make a couple of meals. We had enough sleeping spaces, but with the large bedrooms, we would have preferred that the queen beds would have been kings. The screened in porch had a nice card table and comfy chairs. Wifi was pretty robust. The AC worked great for the couple of scorching days we were there. If it had gotten a little cooler in the evenings we would have taken advantage of the hot tub and firepit. We would come back to this property in a heartbeat.
This was our second time to rent this home for our group of 8 golfers. The kitchen is well equipped so we were able to prepare our own meals, eat in, and not have to go out after playing. There are several areas to gather and relax, including a large screened porch, a nice deck with 8 chairs, a table and gas grill, a family room with cushy seating for 6 or 8, and a game room with a billiards table. Several of our group enjoyed the hot tub too. Our only criticism is that the beds are queen-sized even though the room sizes could have easily accommodated king-sized beds. That's a little awkward for our 8 guys sharing beds. Nevertheless, we're likely to rent again.
Loved everything about this place, but we had issues with the stove. We couldn’t get it to maintain correct heat. Called on this first day and got immediate help to get it working properly. But, next two days same issue. Since we bring up food to cook, this was definitely a bummer. Other than this, house was clean and comfortable, great check in, and owners very responsive and helpful. Also want to mention that owners allowed us to check in early due to bad weather and this was greatly appreciated.
The house was beautiful! Very clean and cozy. Fabulous location for morning walks. The host was very helpful and answered all my questions promptly. We will stay there again.
We were so comfortable at this property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Steve, at H.E.L.M. was very helpful and always returned messages to answer questions quickly.
Great, quiet location. Very spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 6. We really liked that each bedroom had it's own bathroom and shower. Hot tub was excellent. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils we needed. We would stay here again!
