Little piece of heaven

We usually stay on the territory every summer as a family. This place was absolutely perfect! It met all of our accommodation needs and even more. Our boys loved it and the sun room was my favorite part. Rooms were very comfortable. We definitely said we will book this lovely home again next year.

We rented this house for 5 adults to stay in over the labor day weekend. The house was clean and fit our needs perfectly. It was great having a full bathroom for each of the bedrooms. The kitchen appliances were nice and the overall layout of the house exceeded our expectations! We will certainly rent this house again next time we are in Galena.
