Great house, location and town

Our visit was short, but we had a great time. The property was in great shape and in a great location to the town of Galena. We loved the pool table, ping pong and the younger adults enjoyed the video game consul. The beds were comfortable and as this was the second half of a trip, we appreciated the washer and dryer. I would recommend staying here.

Galena getaway

Our family of 7 adults and 1 teenager had a great time at this home—barbecues on the decks, fire pit evenings, association activities, trail walking. Pontoon rental at nearby lake galena marina for a little cruising and fishing on a beautiful day. The home had everything that we could possibly need or want. The galena countryside is spectacular and downtown galena was historic and afforded some fun shopping and eating. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say we all just had a wonderful time. Thank you Eric and Amy !!!

Family friendly getaway.

We met kids and grandkids ( 5-7-9) in this central beautiful city of Galena nestled in rolling hills. The house was very comfortable and fun. We played bocci ball, had campfires, played games, swam in the nice pool, enjoyed the city that is easy to navigate and mix history class with nature walks. The house makes it easy to create magic while making normal life happen. We even held a worship service of sorts this AM ( Sunday) in the pergola area… kids loved it.

Grand Time in Galena

This was the perfect setting for a family getaway. There were 10 of us total and the house handled us comfortably. Plenty to do on the property. The owners had thought of everything. Fire pit. Two grills. Plenty of outdoor activities. Plenty of supply items. Close to the pool and plenty of Galena attractions. Prior to our arrival the owners sent over a pdf with the necessary details for a great experience. Quiet. Comfortable. Clean. Great place.

Galena Paradise

We loved this home!! We were close enough to town but not in the middle of it with all the noise and traffic!! The house was beautiful and Eric & Kim supplied everything……. ( usually we only get a starter roll of paper towels, toilet paper etc….) We had 6 in our party and easily could’ve had more and not been cramped …… Eric responded very quickly to any and all of my questions…… We highly recommend this property…… it’s gorgeous…… and every morning we saw bunnies and deer and it was just so relaxing and serene!!!! If you’re looking for a beautiful home in/near Galena this is the home!!!! We are already thinking of a future trip with friends/family without the grandkids!! Lol Bonnie F

Terrific family time in Galena

We stayed here to practice social distancing with our 2 young children for 6 days. It was fantastic! The home is comfortable, open, and the perfect layout. We brought all of our own food and drinks with us. The property itself is great for playing outdoors— we did some sledding (brought our own), made snowmen and had some snowball fights with the kids. There is a cute loft with plenty of space for the kids to play and a very large basement. There were 2 snow/ice storms while we were there and the owners checked in with us and ensured the driveway and walkways were plowed/cleared. A terrific place to stay— definitely would be space for 2 families with kids as well. The owners were responsive and helpful.
